Live in Paradise in this wonderful waterfront community! This is a great home, but did get water during Helene tidal surge(never before). Owners have cut the wet portion of the paneling and removed anything water damaged: furniture, washer, dryer, insulation, refrigerator, stove, etc. Only thing there is kitchen table and chairs. Flooring was removed down to the plywood. Has central AC, but may be damaged from hurricane. Owners have put 3 window units in so it does have AC. Basically selling AS IS for lot value if you want to complete to your satisfaction. This is a deal! Milton took the fence behind it, so Association will replace that. Great bayfront area for community gatherings and great views of the sunsets. This adorable, beachy home is 2BR/1BA with lots of room for easy living or entertaining friends. There is a spacious open concept kitchen that opens to a dining room and sitting area, two good sized bedrooms, a large living room. Large windows throughout this home bringing in lots of Florida sunshine. A a full size laundry room that could be converted to include a 2nd bath. Two 5x6 ft. sheds behind the home and a small deck that could be larger if you moved one shed. Driveway on the west side of the home with room for 2 cars. What else do you need? You'll enjoy life in this waterfront park, just a short stroll or bike ride over the bridge to Anna Maria Island and all of the amenities of Bridge Street. Every night at sunset, you can meet your neighbors at the Waterfront for Happy Hour. There is even a popular restaurant onsite, Tide Tables Restaurant and Marina, for fresh fish from area fishermen. Fishing charters also available. You own a share of this park so developers won't come in and force you out (park leases property to Tide Tables). There are also 5 boat slips the park leases to park shareholders at $895/year, currently a waiting list. Also a private boat ramp and community dock. There is even an annual fish fry sponsored by fisherman in the park. PET FRIENDLY! You can have 2 pets under 35 lbs. (one dog). The community has a clubhouse and shuffleboard courts just down from this property. Across from clubhouse is a short walkway to community laundry (although you have your own) and a workshop. A very social 55 Plus park! Join in the community dinners, waterfront parties, off-site trips, etc. Cortez is one of the last Florida villages featuring some of the best seafood restaurants and an old Florida feel. You will love the lifestyle and friendly atmosphere of this park! This property will be prime when the Cortez Bridge is redone. There will be a local walkway behind you to Tide Tables and under the bridge to the area by Seafood Shack etc. and a barrier wall to give you additional privacy. The bridge will be north of the current bridge with a bike and walking lane to take you to the island. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcqL_ZgaNSs is a conceptional video of the draft design.
