About This Property
Virtually Staged. Enjoy relaxed Florida living in this charming 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom waterfront home set on a generous lot just under half an acre in the established Sorrento East neighborhood, just minutes from Nokomis Beach. A brand-new roof just completed, featuring a third nail, adds immediate value and peace of mind, while the peaceful water view creates a serene backdrop for everyday living. Inside, fresh paint on the interior creates a bright, crisp feel ready to make it your own. The inviting layout is filled with natural light and accented by plantation shutters and warm wood flooring in the main living areas and bedrooms. The living and dining spaces flow into a light-filled Florida room, where sliding glass doors frame calming water views and open to the outdoor entertaining area. The kitchen features white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and a window overlooking the backyard and water, making it both functional and welcoming. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, each with access to a full bathroom, offering flexibility for guests or everyday living. A separate flex space just off the laundry area adds valuable versatility and has been used as a home office, hobby room, or additional storage. Hurricane shutters provide added protection, and a wood-burning fireplace brings warmth and character to the living space. Energy efficiency is enhanced with solar panels currently leased at approximately $65 per month, helping keep electric bills extremely low. The lease has been in place for three years and offers a buyout option for the new owner. Outside, the spacious driveway offers ample room to park an RV, boat, or all the toys you choose to bring, while the expansive backyard invites relaxation with a paver patio, firepit overlooking the water, and space to enjoy the tranquil setting. The large lot provides privacy and flexibility, all within a quiet, well-established community close to beaches, shopping, and dining. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
