About this home
Waterfront Dream Ranch – Never Flooded | Freshwater Lock System | The Inlets4 Bedroom | 3 Bath Waterfront Pool Home with Private Dock – Premier Boating Community
Welcome to your Florida waterfront retreat in The Inlets, one of the Gulf Coast’s most desirable boating communities. Situated on a premium canal-front lot with 75 feet of protected freshwater frontage, this beautifully updated Key West–style ranch offers high elevation, storm resilience, and low-maintenance waterfront living.
Importantly, this home has never flooded during recent storms, offering the peace of mind today’s waterfront buyers demand. Located on a freshwater lock system, the protected canal provides calm waters and controlled levels — ideal for boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Freshwater conditions are also easier on vessels, and I/O engines are exceptionally well cared for in this environment. Even better, seawall maintenance is covered by the HOA, adding long-term value and reduced ownership costs.
The private dock features shore power and water hookup, with lock access leading toward the Manatee River.
Inside, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light highlight the open-concept layout. The updated chef’s kitchen showcases quartz countertops, white cabinetry, tile backsplash, 2024 stainless appliances, gas range, and a bright breakfast nook. The split floor plan offers privacy, anchored by a spacious primary suite with pool and water views, dual custom closets, and a remodeled spa-style bath.
Four sets of sliders open to a screened resort-style lanai, where a sparkling pool with new pavers overlooks serene canal views — designed for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining.
This home offers extensive storm-ready and energy-efficient upgrades, including a 2018 roof with radiant barrier for improved insulation, impact-rated windows (2023) for added security and protection, a Lennox HVAC system, and a Rinnai tankless water heater (2020). Outdoor improvements include new paver driveway, patio, and pool deck (2025), creating a low-maintenance, luxury exterior finish. Additional enhancements include a fully fenced backyard (2025), a newly added third full bath, EV charging outlet, and electric attic lift and stairs for convenient storage access. These modern mechanical and structural updates provide true move-in ready waterfront living with updated infrastructure and long-term peace of mind. Residents enjoy low HOA fees, no CDD, low-cost flood insurance, tennis courts, waterfront park, kayak launch, and nature trails. Never flooded. High elevation. HOA-maintained seawalls. Protected freshwater boating. Move-in ready waterfront living in one of the area’s premier communities.
