About This Property
Florida cottage charm meets real room to breathe in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath pool home in Nokomis, Florida, with NO HOA, an oversized fully fenced lot and a detached 472 square foot workshop, all about 3 miles from Nokomis Beach and conveniently located between Sarasota and Venice. This is the kind of place where the workshop is waiting when inspiration hits, afternoons slip away by the pool and every day feels like a little getaway. Inside, a split floor plan gives the primary suite privacy from the second and third bedrooms while keeping the home easy and connected. Kitchen work completed in 2023 added tile flooring, a backsplash, custom butcher block countertops and a dry bar, bringing warmth and character that suits the cottage feel. The primary bedroom features luxury vinyl plank flooring, trim molding, a smart fan/light and a walk-in closet. The ensuite bath includes tile flooring, a tiled shower and wall surround, vanity, fixtures and hardware. The second and third bedrooms and guest bath have also received improvements, and the bonus room is ready for whatever you need most: a home office, guest space, reading room, craft room or something entirely your own. Then there is the workshop, and it is much more than extra storage. The detached concrete workshop has power, a roll-up door and a separate door to the fenced backyard, giving you real space for hobbies, tools, equipment and projects. For anyone who has ever wished for room to actually do the things they enjoy, this may become their favorite feature of the whole property. Step into the backyard and you may not want to leave. The large private pool was resurfaced in 2022 and retiled in 2025, with plenty of surrounding space for lounging, entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet Florida afternoon. A 6 foot privacy fence, re-stained in 2025, frames tropical landscaping and fruit trees, including a lime tree now producing fresh limes. The outdoor shower is perfect after a swim or a day at the beach, and a repaired well pump supplies a dedicated hose near the pool with well water for landscaping and plants. Behind the charm is the kind of substance Florida buyers, and their insurance agents, ask about first. The home sits in Flood Zone X and has a 24 gauge metal roof with hurricane straps installed in 2022. Most windows are impact rated, and impact windows for the remaining three are already on site. The 5 ton HVAC system with UV light and replacement ductwork dates to 2020. Septic components, including the tank, leach field and lift station, were replaced in 2019, and the system was most recently serviced in July 2026. A 50 amp whole house generator outlet was added in 2024. From here, the beach is never far. Nokomis Beach and the Legacy Trail are each approximately 3 miles away, Oscar Scherer State Park is about 5 miles away and Downtown Venice is approximately 5.6 miles from home. Siesta Key, Sarasota and the rest of Sarasota County’s Gulf Coast beaches are within easy reach, along with golf, boating, dining and shopping. This is a home that lets you bring your own style. Fill the workshop with the projects you have been waiting to start, shape the bonus room into the space you actually need, plant more, entertain more, spend more time outside and enjoy the freedom to use your home your way.
