About this home
WATERFRONT, NO FLOODING! Your slice of WATERFRONT PARADISE! The property’s high elevation had NO FLOODING from Hurricane Helene or Milton. Known as one of the best kept secrets in Sarasota County, this corner lot is located West of Legacy Trail at the end of a protected canal with South-facing backyard views on Lake Charlotte and features a well-maintained masonry block and stucco ranch home. With numerous upgrades since construction in 1978, this move-in ready home has an appraised Effective Year Built of 2003 and includes new plumbing, impact glass and energy efficient windows throughout along with custom storm shutter protection. Perfect for boating enthusiasts, the property features a concrete seawall with riprap and a fixed dock with fresh water station providing direct access to Dona Bay through the fixed high-clearance bridge at Hwy 41 to reach the ICW, the Venice Jetty inlet, and the Gulf Coast less than 2 miles away. The home includes generous storage across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms as well as a utility sink in the kitchen’s adjacent laundry room, which also has built-ins to serve as a walk-in pantry. Beautiful, engineered hardwood floors invite you inside the elegant living room and lead to a spacious family room with ample natural light from ceiling skylights and windows overlooking the nature of lake Charlotte. Along with an updated septic and water supplied by Sarasota County, there is a reverse osmosis system and a solar hot water heater. On nearly a ¼ acre lot, the property’s tropical landscaping features mature palm trees, low-maintenance shrubs and a mango tree, all irrigated with well water. The privacy offered by this serene cul-de-sac location allows for limited traffic and low noise being further away from busy roads. In addition to having No HOA, CDD fees or Deed Restrictions, the property offers sufficient space for RV, boat or trailer parking. With its location just West of Legacy Trail, the neighborhood features convenient sidewalks, street lighting and access to one of the trail’s most exclusive runs made for bikers and pedestrians to cross Dona Bay and Roberts Bay with lovely panoramas in all directions. The neighborhood is also close to Nokomis Community Park (0.8 miles by road), Venice Beach (1.9 mi) and Nokomis Beach (2.7 mi). Enjoy the shops and restaurants of downtown Venice (1.6 mi) as well as local restaurants of Nokomis like Captain Eddie’s Seafood (0.9 mi), Evergreen Café (0.8 mi) and Nokomo's Sunset Hut (1 mi). Properties at this elevation and location are rarely available, so don’t wait! This can be your own slice of paradise!
