One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. If any home could give you a hug and welcome you home, it's this one. From the mature landscaping, to the cul de sac corner lot, brick exterior and matching mailbox, this home is completely loaded with charm and that homey feeling you crave! While this home has been well-maintined, with just a bit of cosmetic updating, this home has the potential to be a complete show stopper! The garage is neatly tucked around the side of the house and has an outside access door as well as interior access to the front of the home. Downstairs, the large living and dining room lead conveniently to the kitchen and a family room can be accessed by french doors or just on the other side of the kitchen. You'll love the bay window where you could easily fit seating for a booth dining table or just make it a cozy spot to sit and read or nature watch. Just beyond the kitchen and family room is a large screened lanai with brick accents to continue the rustic charm from the outside in! Downstairs, there is no carpet which means low maintenance and easy to keep cooler in the summertime. Upstairs a large master suite with a spacious walk-in closet and master bath has a step-in shower and a long enough vanity to add a second sink. Two more bedrooms and a 2nd bathroom with tub finish off the upstairs. Amenities included in the low HOA include everything you want in a Florida home. No need to mow or keep up with landscaping as your yard is maintained for you. Also included are basic internet, cable, street lighting, private road and even a heated community pool so you can splash off the day or do a bit of sunbathing. The location is super convenient too! A mile and a half away is Palma Sola Bay which is not only pet-friendly but a great place to launch kayaks and do some close-up dolphin watching! Three & a half miles away is Cortez fishing village with some superb fresh-catch dining options & just four and a half miles away you can sink your toes in the pristine sands of Bradenton Beach! There is no lack of natural beauty with Robinson Preserve, Desoto National Park, GT Bray for all types of recreation opportunities ALL just minutes away! Dining, theaters, shopping and other entertainment also surround this home for the perfect place to enjoy as your winter getaway or stay as a full timer!
