Welcome to your own private slice of waterfront paradise—where dolphins visit daily, manatees float by, and the sun greets you with golden rays glistening off the water. This peaceful retreat offers an unmatched connection to nature, complete with serene water views from nearly every room. This beautifully designed three-bedroom, two-bathroom home features over 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully used space. Recent price reduction plus a $10,000 seller credit for buyer to use to add their own upgrades or touches. The house does need some updates and buyer can use the credit for that, closing costs or anything else desired. Built on a naturally elevated slope, the residence has steps at the front and back entryways, offering peace of mind and protection during storm seasons. The layout was designed with comfort, functionality, and a love of the outdoors in mind. The home features an open-concept design with two generous living areas—a den and a living room—each boasting expansive windows that frame the tranquil canal. The family room’s wood-burning brick fireplace is perfect for chilly Florida evenings, and the ceiling fans throughout the home keep the breeze moving. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with solid surface counters, elegant Thomasville all-wood cabinetry, and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove and a stainless refrigerator from 2022. Undermount and in-cabinet lighting provide both functionality and ambiance for everything from weekday dinners to weekend brunches. The spacious primary bedroom suite is tucked away for optimal privacy, while the additional bedrooms and bath are located on the other side of the home—great for guests or family. Recessed lighting, indirect mood lights, and smart storage offer additional touches that elevate everyday living. Step outside, and paradise continues. A large screened-in porch with ceiling fans provides the ideal space for lounging year-round. Entertain with ease at the outdoor bar area, which includes cabinets, a sink, and even an electric grill. Between the additional deck and the private dock, your options for outdoor enjoyment are limitless. Whether it’s fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or just sipping morning coffee while watching the sun rise, the waterfront is always ready for you. And let’s not forget the boaters, you have direct access to Tampa Bay via Allen’s Creek. Gardening enthusiasts will appreciate the lush, tropical landscaping, which reinforces the authentic Florida atmosphere.
