Under contract-accepting backup offers. Paradise can be yours with this waterfront home on a deep saltwater canal with direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is updated inside and out and wholly furnished; you only need to unpack. You can easily be on a permanent vacation from the open concept floor plan to the expansive views straight down the canal opening to the bay; the heated pool, tropical landscape, boat dock w/lift, and island decor complete this tropical home. You can easily bike to Anna Maria Beaches (3 miles away) or walk to many restaurants and shops (less than a half mile). Ease your mind with the many upgrades like a new metal roof (2023), spray foam attic insulation (2023), freshly painted exterior and garage (2023), new beds/mattresses, furnishings, and more. Additional systems include HVAC (2015), 2013 hurricane-rated windows and garage door, a 23' lift and dock (2015), and a heated caged pool (2013). The open kitchen and dining area have stainless steel appliances, maple cabinetry, a barstool dining counter, soft-close pull-out drawers, a butcher block inset, and granite countertops. Relax and unwind on island time in the great room and additional living space (with a queen sleeper). The split bedrooms with dual access to the pool and outdoor living space keep the vacation vibe alive. Plenty of room exists to expand the outdoor paradise with the extra space off the garage and into the side yard. The paved driveway, well, sprinkler system with timer, oversized side loader garage, PVC fencing, and plumbing pipes enhance this gem even further. HOA fees are optional. Non-deed restricted and no CDD fees. The house is an excellent investment opportunity and is ready to rent (turnkey). Or, for those who are looking to relocate to paradise, look no further.
