Thoughtfully reimagined with additional living space, the bright and open floor plan is anchored by a brand-new kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, a waterfall island, coffee bar, farmhouse sink, new fixtures, hardware, disposal, and the unique opportunity to select the appliances that best fit your style. A newly added Florida room, filled with natural light through brand-new hurricane-impact windows and a large sliding glass door, creates the perfect space for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or unwinding after a day on the water. Major improvements have already been completed, including a durable metal roof, new hurricane-rated front entry system, insulated hurricane-resistant garage door with windows, new interior doors and hardware, updated bathroom vanities, fixtures and mirrors, recessed lighting throughout, fresh high-grade exterior paint, new exterior lighting, updated house numbers, and refreshed shell landscaping for exceptional curb appeal. Outside, your private coastal retreat awaits with a brand-new heated saltwater pool and spa featuring underwater lighting, a new travertine pool deck with room for future expansion, and a newly constructed dock designed for entertaining or future boat lift installation, along with a dedicated kayak, paddleboard, and jet ski launch that makes enjoying the waterfront effortless. What truly sets this property apart is the opportunity it offers! The significant renovations and major investments have already been completed, allowing the next owner to personalize the finishing touches, whether by selecting interior paint colors, expanding the outdoor entertaining space, enhancing the landscaping, or creating their own vision of coastal living. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Downtown Bradenton, 20-25 minutes from Downtown St. Petersburg, approximately 30 minutes to the UTC shopping and dining district, and 35-45 minutes from the white-sand beaches of Anna Maria Island, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated waterfront home in one of Florida's most naturally preserved island communities.

Welcome to Old Florida! Stepping onto the screened porch is like stepping through a portal to the past. A simpler place and time, where fireflies dance under the canopy of oaks. Cast a line, or a net, or a kayak out on the still waters of Terra Ceia Bay where the sun rises and sets in a golden glow. Build your own private dock for your boat or your Adirondack Chairs right on the Bay! You can just imagine marshmallows over the firepit and a big swing hanging from low mossy branches, overlooking over 100 feet of private natural waterfront. The charming cottage sits back on the land, providing a large front garden with Florida native plants. Inside the cottage, refinished wood floors lead you from one room to the next. From the large Dining Room, French doors open to the Living Room with original wood burning fireplace and a picture window overlooking the Bay. Warm butcherblock countertops over white cabinets give this kitchen a nostalgic feel with plenty of counter space and storage space. The Florida Room stretches across the back of the home, overlooking a big back yard surrounded by lush landscaping. One bedroom overlooks the back yard and has an ensuite bath with shower. The second, and larger of the two bedrooms, has a picture window with panoramic water views. A second full bath with soaking tub is just of the hallway. Nestled between the Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve and the Terra Ceia Preserve State Park, you will be surrounded by natural wonders and winding trails, while being only 20 minutes away from Downtown St. Petersburg or Bradenton.
