Want to live the ultimate island life for a fraction of the price? This beautifully updated pool home on a manicured, fully fenced quarter-acre lot has it all with zero deed restrictions. Located in an eclectic, charming "Old Florida" neighborhood, you are just 700 feet from a community boat launch providing seamless access to Palma Sola Bay, Sarasota Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico. Cruise to the historic Cortez Fishing Village for the fresh catch of the day in just 2 minutes, or take a quick 5-minute drive (or 10-minute bike ride) to the pristine beaches of Anna Maria Island-you can even enjoy views of Palma Sola Bay right from your front window! Inside, the beautifully updated interior features ceramic tile flooring throughout, an open kitchen/family room combo with stainless steel appliances, and a desirable split-bedroom floor plan. The indoor-outdoor flow leads to a massive 30x12 Florida room overlooking your private saltwater pool-your own backyard tropical oasis perfect for entertaining and a safe haven for pets. Major big-ticket upgrades provide ultimate peace of mind, including a brand-new roof (2025), a newly replaced central A/C system (2024), 130mph high-impact hurricane windows throughout (except two small windows), and an updated electrical system equipped with whole-house surge protection. Storage is an absolute breeze with an extra-deep, detached 1.5-car garage to house your vehicle and gear, plus a dedicated parking pad outside with plenty of room to park your RV or boat.
