About this home
This mid-canal gem in the heart of the prestigious Country Club Shores perfectly balances immediate enjoyment with future possibilities. Whether you are looking for a private boating retreat, a "saltwater lake house," or a high-performing seasonal rental investment, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom block construction home delivers “all of the above”, and boasts an oversized lot!
The residence is centered around open gathering space, wrapped by 3 private bedrooms (2 en-suite!), an inviting kitchen, and a 2-car garage, all sheltered under a metal roof installed in 2019. A refreshing pool completes the oasis.
For water enthusiasts, the 2019 waterside upgrades transform the back yard into a premier private marina. The NEW SEA WALL and 350-square-foot dock make an angler’s paradise, complemented by a 13,000-pound boat lift and a floating kayak launch. Navigation is exceptionally convenient with no low bridges blocking your path to adventure. You are a one-minute boat ride to Sarasota Bay and only five minutes to the Gulf of Mexico. Proximity to both the Sarasota Yacht Club and Bird Key Yacht Club further expands the nautical recreation offered by this phenomenal address. Lifestyle activities extend well beyond the dock, with deeded beach access just a seven-minute stroll away, and quick access to the world-class Longboat Key Club for golf enthusiasts.
Perhaps the most compelling feature of this home is its remarkable resilience and elevation – it remained high and dry during the area’s most challenging weather, sustaining zero damage or water intrusion during hurricanes Milton, Helene, and Ian. In fact, there is no evidence of any storm damage throughout the entire history of the home. This level of peace of mind is a rare luxury for coastal living, ensuring your investment remains as sturdy and secure as it is beautiful.
If you envision eventually building a grander "forever home," the unique dimensions of this lot offer a distinct architectural advantage. With almost 1000 sqft more than the neighborhood's typical 100x100 lots, you have an additional 282 square feet of allowable building coverage.
This property is a versatile coastal sanctuary that offers a rare blend of ready enjoyment and significant long-term potential....
