Nestled in the tranquil and sought-after Myakka Country, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom waterfront home spans 2,490 square feet and sits on 1.7 acres of lush land. With a private boat dock and boat lift, it's the perfect retreat for those who love waterfront living, privacy and outdoor adventure. This home offers a versatile, open floor plan with two distinct living areas. Upon entry, you are greeted by the formal living and dining rooms, which flow seamlessly into the pool area through large sliding glass pocket doors. Beyond the dining room, the spacious kitchen features a massive island that overlooks the family room, where a charming fireplace creates a cozy retreat. To the right of the kitchen, the dinette area and a large walk-in pantry provide loads of storage, keeping your kitchen organized and clutter-free. The dinette area also offers direct access to the pool. The primary bedroom is located on one side of the house, while the three additional bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on the opposite side for enhanced privacy. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are separated with a bifold closet door. You could leave it as is to make one very large room/office space or if you choose, you could close it off completely. The pool area is fully enclosed with a newer pool cage (installed in 2022), offering generous covered space ideal for entertaining guests. A new metal roof, installed in 2019, is complemented by solar panels, providing both energy efficiency and sustainability. This property includes a spacious 1,320-square-foot garage/barn, perfect for storing your RV, boat, cars, or other recreational vehicles, with plenty of room left for additional storage. The home also features an attached 2-car garage, adding even more convenience for everyday use. The south side of the expansive lot is bordered by Myakka State Forest, which contains over 40 miles of trails that are open to hiking, biking and equestrian activities- perfect for nature lovers. This home offers the best of both worlds: seclusion in a peaceful, waterfront setting with easy access to I75 and all the amenities of Wellen Park and nearby beaches. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a seasonal getaway, this property provides everything needed for the ultimate waterfront lifestyle.
