One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Bring your boat and get ready to enjoy life on the water. This custom 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, pool home has it all! Private dock with a boathouse, pool, an expansive pool deck, 2 car garage, oversized (extra-long) driveway for ample parking, bonus ground level space with endless possibilities such as game room, workshop, fitness, or craft room. The original owner has lived in and loved this home since the beginning and now it is ready for your vision and updates. Designed and built with natural light and water views in mind, water can be seen from every window in the home. Recent improvements include a new roof and hot water heater in 2021. Featuring impact windows or coverings, wind mitigation opening protection was confirmed via inspection May of 2021. The main level of the home is on level 2 with 2 guest rooms, guest bath, laundry room, kitchen, dining, and the great room which leads through triple sliding doors to the large, screened lanai which faces East overlooking your boathouse, pool, and saltwater canal, perfect for morning coffee and sunrise viewing. The stairs off the lanai lead down to the pool, bonus space, deck, and dock. The master retreat is secluded on the top level and has a private observation deck facing West, so you’ll never miss a sunset. This section of the canal is called Lake Charlotte and is a larger cove-like area allowing additional space across the canal for privacy and maneuvering your boat. The Saltwater canal leads to Dona Bay which leads to the Intracoastal waterway with one fixed 12-foot bridge to the Venice Jetty and Gulf of Mexico; Bridge height is contingent upon tide levels. Less than half a mile to The Legacy Trail, so convenient to the New Sarasota Memorial Hospital Venice Campus 3.8 miles, Nokomis Beach 2.5 Miles, Venice Beach 3.8 miles, North Jetty Beach 3.3 miles and nearby Interstate 75 for easy commute anywhere. No CDD fees, No HOA, true Florida waterfront living at its best!
