UNSURPASSED EXPANSIVE VIEWS of LEMON BAY are waiting for you here! With so much of old Florida disappearing, this MOVE IN READY home is one of a kind. Anyone who yearns for a TURNKEY PRIVATE getaway, with DEEDED BEACH ACCESS situated in a quiet community, will immediately recognize this rare opportunity. Prepare to relax! As you drive down to the end of a short gravel road, you will feel the tranquility this home offers with its charming, even whimsical design. The ELEVATED WATERFRONT construction gives you the kind of vantage points that make it feel like your own private resort. Explore the new TROPICAL LANDSCAPING maintained by a full irrigation system as well as the EXPANSIVE COVERED OUTDOOR LIVING space that is perfect for adding a hot tub, swinging chairs, ping pong table, and more. Come on inside. Choose any room because every room has a view of Lemon Bay and access to a deck. The PANORAMIC VIEWS of the bay are nothing short of BREATHTAKING! Banyan trees, resident bald eagles keeping watch, dolphins, manatees, sting rays, splashing fish, singing birds and more are all a part of your daily visual extravaganza! As you relax, you will also appreciate the care the owner has put into this home. Storm fortification in 2014 included an $80,000 PANORAMIC wall of PGT HURRICANE WINDOWS and SLIDING GLASS DOORS leading to the CABLED DECKING. In 2024, newly added amenities include GORGEOUS MARBLE FLOORING, a complete DUAL ZONE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, large capacity WATER HEATER, and GARAGE DOORS, WINDOWS, CUSTOM BUILT-IN SHELVING, and COMPLETELY REFURBISHED HALF BATH. The unique floor plan offers three bedroom suites, each situated in their own wing with their own full bath affording privacy for a multigenerational vacation, or for a couple that likes to entertain, or even for the occasional special rental opportunity. The largest suite is conveniently positioned where it could have a separate private entrance. All suites converge in the great room, the heart of the property, where the expansive views are enjoyed by all as memories are made to last a lifetime. Speaking of memories, a favorite of the current owner is to rent kayaks and paddle home to the private DOCK and SEAWALL while watching the frollicking dolphins at play nearby. When you want to venture out, there is an amazing community to complete your experience. What can you say about a small town that lends life jackets on the honor system at the public boat launch? MANASOTA BEACH PARK and THE SCRUB PRESERVE are both open. Join the VENICE YACHT CLUB or the MANASOTA FOSSIL CLUB. The HERMITAGE celebrates its reopening on Jan 30th, and residents look forward to the HISTORIC MANASOTA BEACH CLUB opening soon. Situated on the southern part of the key you can easily take advantage of recently reopened RESTAURANTS and SHOPS to ease into your casual island living routine. Don’t miss your chance to explore this amazing property located in one of the TOP 10 PLACES TO RETIRE according to Southern Living, and make it your new home in old Florida!
