*Some photos are virtually staged* Take advantage of this RARE opportunity to own one of the most affordable home options in the covetered Palma Sola Park neighborhood! This home did NOT EXPERIENCE ANY WATER INTRUSION NOR HURRICANE DAMAGE!! On the contrary, it has proven it's solid build by withstanding them all with no issue every time! It is also in the higly desirable 'NO-FLOOD-insurance-required" areas due to its higher elevation and receives the prized,"Flood Zone X" rating. Upon entering this custom 2 bedroom, 2 bath home you will quickly notice its smart layout with rooms larger than one might expect (please see all measurements of rooms in listing). Ever notice that many listed homes state "fully updated," and yet they have still have bathrooms with tile left from from '60s, flooring from the 90s, or a kitchen with 'low budget cabinetry' - all at a premium price? This 'estate-home' avoids those compromises and invites you to take advantage of choosing all the updates you prefer while knowing the true cost and quality and all on a time scale that is best for your budget. Take note of the triple slider doors right when you enter the home - and they POCKET completely! Also, take note of the 2 A/C vents on the roof covered, glass windowed lanai which is really a 'family room,'- contributing 210 sq ft. of A/C space. Be sure to see the easy path to laundry room in the OVERSIZED GARAGE! Speaking of easy, this was meant to be an open living space - remove one small wall and voila! Nestled in the historic Palma Sola Park among many large homes, it can be a challenge to find an affordable one of a more sensible, efficient size. This is that gem!! Its the perfect choice for retirement, a 2nd home, small family or even a vacation rental. Did I mention there is NO HOA or deed restrictions? Bring your Boat or RV as there is room on the right side for certain types. Better yet, get your BOAT SLIP in this neighborhood's PRIVATE Puertosueno boat basin (marina). From the Palma Sola Bay, the waters of the Anna Maria to Sarasota are yours within minutes! Take note of the huge backyard - perfect for a future pool, cook-outs with family and friends, and your pets (Palma Sola Park is very dog friendly and the only 'dog beach is right around the corner) not to mention endless home expansion options due to yard size and shape.
