The kind of home that brings a smile to your face! Located in a boating neighborhood & boasting definate curb appeal! This charming 3 bedroom home is situated on a terrific, large lot - fenced for privacy & perfect for pets! Landscaped with "beachy" flair with lots of tropical palms & low maintenance shell grounds - ideal for busy family or seasonal snowbirds. Roof replaced in 2008 as well as the air conditioning system & appliances. New electrical wiring at the time too including recessed lights & ceiling fans. Home is smartly painted inside & out & is further enhanced with crown molding & cool tile floors which flow throughout the living areas. New flooring in the updated bath. Best of all has a wonderful, big Florida room which is so inviting - provides for casual dining, entertaining & comfortable television lounging. The home includes a storage room leading to the inside laundry area. There is an outside covered terrace for the BBQ gatherings in the big back yard. Carport & double wide driveway. So nice, to be so close to the Bayshore Gardens community center with its' swimming pool, playground, ball field & picnic area. The neighborhood is made for the fishing enthusiast - under 5 minutes to the marina & boat ramp enjoying direct access to Sarasota Bay. (The oh so reasonable annual fee of $316 is already incorporated in the tax bill.) Location is also near all conveniences & short distance to Gulf beaches. Recently reduced for great value!
