8647 Dunmore Dr., Sarasota, FL 34231

WEST OF TRAIL!! WATER VIEW! Perched across from million-dollar waterfront homes in Tropical Shores, Sarasota’s most affordable non-deed restricted boating community, sits a cute and cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath home on an expansive 1/3 acre corner lot. Tropical Shore’s optional low cost HOA gives members access to a community marina with a boat ramp, boat docks, kayak rack and clubhouse. Launch your kayak or boat on Little Sarasota Bay to reach a variety of dockside restaurants, the best fishing spots in Sarasota, and across to Siesta Key’s Turtle Beach and secluded Midnight Pass Beach (reachable only by boat). A small county park located on the bay in the southwest corner of the neighborhood also serves as a kayak launch. This location is a perfect spot for nature lovers to enjoy daily sightings of a variety of sea birds, as well as numerous osprey, bald eagles, and hawks soaring above, or to visit the marina in late summer for up-close viewing of manatees that come to mate. This home needs updates, like removing the sun-drenched carpet to reveal original terrazzo, but the possibilities are endless! Live in this cozy cottage the way it is; Add a lanai from one of the two carports; Convert the two carports into a new master bedroom and bath; Add a second floor with a balcony for an unobstructed view of Little Sarasota Bay; Add a new roof and roof deck with any or none of the above options; Or tear it down and build a new dream home in paradise!
