About this home

NEARLY $31,000k PRICE IMPROVEMENT: HIGHLY DESIRABLE OFFERING IN THE WATERFRONT AND BOATING COMMUNITY OF THE LEMON BAY SUNSET SUBDIVISION. Have you always dreamed of owning a home with "backyard" access to your own boat and dock with easy access from the Intracoastal to the Gulf of Mexico-but thought it would be unattainable? The thought of hurricanes gives you pause? Well wish no longer-as this is the one that will be difficult to walk away from. Meticulously updated and maintained this 2280 sq. ft., 0.40 acre pie-shaped, fenced corner lot home lives much larger than its square footage and has never suffered any hurricane associated damage or water-intrusion of any kind. With its bright and oversized rooms that draw you in to enjoy the indoor/outdoor all-season living you will delight in the "find" you can call your own. Watch the manatees swim by from the super-sized outdoor screened lanai with heated swimming pool surrounded by lovingly tendered Florida mature landscaping which leads to the pathway to the 2 year young replaced boat dock and access stairs. The boat lift can accommodate a vessel that is between 8000-10000 lbs. while the depth of the Lemon Bay Canal can handle a craft of up to 45 ft. It is quite evident that the owners show consistent pride of ownership in the manner in which the house has been maintained: Newer roof, 2025 hot water heater with nearly new replaced dual zone A.C. units {2026 and 2025} and a hard-wired generator hookup only adds to its worry free enjoyment. High impact windows and doors reinforces the inclement weather-hardening of the home. The Owners did not stop there: Kitchen cabinets and counter-tops with a reverse osmosis system, appliances, laundry room with cabinets with utility sink, luxury COREtec waterproof flooring, bathrooms remodeled and the popcorn ceilings were replaced with a texturized product. In addition the house had been re-plumbed in 2024 where the pipes have been run above the ceilings. There are two wells on the property. Only one is utilized for irrigation with a new freshwater connector switch that accesses the City Water lines. The den and family room share in a prominent custom-installed pass-through fieldstone wood-burning fireplace which adds to the laid back ambience of the home and in particular the most used rooms in the home. The oversized garage is home to the owner's workshop when the "I can fix it" need comes up. Freshly painted, crown molding, French doors, plantation shutters throughout plus the new fans add to the crispness of the room presentations and the well thought out floor plan flow. Bringing the family? After fishing, swimming and boating there is an abundance of places to ride your bikes or simply enjoy the ride to the Lemon Bay Park just down the road or the less than 5 miles to Manasota Beach. If you desire a day or evening of a bit more cultural or gourmet leaning dining-downtown Wellen Park, Venice Isles and Dearborn St. offers special musical events and single proprietor highly reviewed restaurants-which will certainly fulfill those needs. Want to check out the Sarasota scene? "Everything Sarasota" awaits you with but a short 23-35 minute car ride. For a home that has "everything" and then some- don't miss this very special beautiful waterfront home.
