I must say... "Cute as a button", and so much more! Have you ever heard the saying?... "Sometimes less is more". Well, that statement may be very fitting for this property. When looking for that home on the water with a dock, boat lift, and access to the big water, not everyone needs a home that's mega-sized, multi-story, and extreme maintenance, with sky-high costs. Some would just like to find a nice, humble home, ready to move in to, and have their own dock and lift out back w/o spending millions of dollars. A place that's modest size and great condition so that your weekends are spent out on the water enjoying the Florida lifestyle and not stuck repairing a home! You know, that's what you're looking for, but you didn't think it existed at this price! Well, it does, and this is it! An amazingly nice, split bedroom home that was re-done with great taste using great colors, lighting, flooring, accents and more. The primary bedroom is quite large, boasting surprisingly large closet space too. A beautiful kitchen that needs no explanation as you look at the pictures, it speaks for itself. This completely updated gem consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a large open family room/dining area. A/C 2020 (recent service 7-26), Roof 2019, Electric panel, 2018, and re-piped 2018. French doors open up to the back deck patio offering a perfect spot to unwind in the evening. Also, you can't help having a great feeling knowing the dock, seawall, 10,000 lb. lift, canopy and electrics have been recently upgraded, leaving you one less thing to worry about. Now, there may be things you'll "want" to do here, but there isn't much you'll "need" to do. It's ready to move into! Maybe you'll want a screen enclosure off the back! Maybe a detached garage or carport added! That's understandable and the best part is that there is room for those ideas. But for now, there is still a large, paved area out back for the guests or multi vehicle parking, trailer etc. Listed next are the upgrades and dates to boat lift, dock, walkway, controls, canopy, seawall panels, cap etc. 09/03/2019 - New sheet panels on front of seawall, poured new seawall cap 40ft on South side. 02/27/2020 - Installed a new 6’x24’ dock walkway. 01/28/2026 - New sheet panels on front of seawall, poured new seawall cap 40ft on North side. 04/14/2026 - Installed NEW as follows... cradle beams, pulleys, motors, cables, remote control panel w/remote for lift, and installed new dock walkway alongside boat lift. 05/30/2026 -    Replacement of coastline frame canopy cover. I could keep writing and make you read more, but you might think this can't be real. Well, if you schedule a showing and come see this in person, you'll know it's real and you won't be disappointed. Only one will get it, will it be you? Thanks for looking! P.S. The reason you see pictures of a boat is because this boat was on the lift out back so it shows the length and size of the lift capability. The boat is not included with the house but is listed for sale with a separate broker and can be purchased. Any interest can be brought to the listing agent who can get you specs and can direct you to the listing broker. 2016 Formula FASTech 353 - Twin 520HP big blocks. 200hrs.
