Big Price Improvement. This home did get water in the first floor from Hurricane Helene. However, the hard part, the demo, was done very quickly. The carpet was removed along with the drywall and the kitchen cabinets. The house is all dried out and now ready for a remodel. First group of photos is prior to Hurricane Helene and 2nd group of photos is after Hurricane Helene. This is a 3 Bed/3 Bath HOME, on 1/2 ACRE, on a cul-de-sac, less than a mile from the beach, on a CANAL, and with a BOAT SLIP. This 2-story block home with vinyl siding has great bones and was built in 1966. The original terrazzo flooring was under the carpet. Some of the bigger items have already been done-BRAND NEW ROOF (2024) and BRAND NEW ELECTRICAL PANEL (2024). The first floor has a living room, kitchen, separate dining room, large family room with a wood-burning fireplace, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a large utility/pantry room, and a 2-car garage. The upstairs has a large bedroom with an en suite bath and walk-in closet. With no HOA, there are so many options with this property. The 1/2 acre could be divided into 2 lots, each lot with a house. Once remodeled, the current house could be lived in or rented. Or torn down and a new home built. A brand new home could be built on the 2nd lot also. So many options. The boat slip originally was covered as a boathouse and shed. The canal behind the house goes out to the intercoastal next to the Cortez Bridge, and then out to the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay, so it's ideal for the boating and fishing enthusiast. This unique property can truly boast LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, on a canal, less than a mile from the beaches of Anna Maria Island, within minutes of restaurants, shopping, golfing, airports, historic Cortez Fishing Village, and so much more.
