About this home
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. 20k Price reduction!! New roof in 2023! Welcome to this charming, move-in-ready single-family home offering comfort and functionality in one of Southwest Florida’s fastest-growing communities! This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom block home features an airy and welcoming atmosphere, highlighted by an ideal split floor plan and impressive vaulted cathedral ceilings. The home has been beautifully updated with fresh paint inside and out, brand-new lighting fixtures throughout, and easy-to-maintain tile flooring in the main living areas. The bright living room naturally flows into a highly functional kitchen, equipped with ample cabinet space and brand-new appliances. The primary bedroom serves as a peaceful private retreat with its own en-suite bath, while the split bedroom design ensures maximum privacy for family or guests. Step outside to discover a large, fully fenced backyard complete with a screened lanai—the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, or letting pets roam safely. This home has several highly desirable features that set it apart. You will benefit from a city water connection, which is rare and highly sought-after in this area. The attached 2-car garage has been upgraded with a durable epoxy floor and offers fantastic extra storage space. Best of all, there are absolutely no HOA fees, giving you the ultimate freedom to make this property your own. Unbeatable Location & Connectivity This property offers an unbeatable combination of peaceful suburban living and modern convenience. It sits under 3 miles from the upcoming Sarasota Memorial Hospital (SMH-North Port) campus and is just minutes from the current Sarasota Memorial Health Care Center & ER. Daily errands are a breeze, as residents will appreciate being close to essential shopping, restaurants, and everyday amenities, with incredibly easy access to both US-41 (Tamiami Trail) and Interstate 75. When it is time to relax or explore, you will find yourself ideally positioned near top regional destinations. You are just a quick 15-minute drive to the vibrant dining, shopping, and community events at the master-planned Wellen Park. Beach and destination access are also excellent: the beautiful shores of Manasota Key and Englewood Beaches are about 13 to 19 miles away, taking roughly 20 to 30 minutes. Venice, Siesta Key, Sarasota and Punta Gorda are also close-by. The Sunseeker Resort is one of the nearest destinations at just 10 to 15 miles (15–25 minutes). For longer trips or commuting, Nokomis and Venice Beach are 16 miles (20–25 minutes), Punta Gorda is 15 miles (20–25 minutes), Sarasota is 34 miles (35–45 minutes), and Fort Myers is easily accessible within 45 to 60 minutes (41–49 miles). Located in Flood Zone X for added peace of mind, this property represents exceptional value with no HOA fees.
Local Insight
At $246 per square foot for a 1997 home in North Port, you're getting decent value compared to the broader Southwest Florida market, especially with no HOA fees to worry about—though you'll want to factor in what that 26-year-old construction means for potential mechanical and roof replacements. The X flood zone is a genuine advantage here and keeps insurance manageable, but the tight 0.23-acre lot limits expansion options if that matters to your plans. This is a solid starter or investment play if the bones check out, but definitely have an inspector walk through given the age.
