About This Property
WATERFRONT property on Amberjack Creek leading to the Gulf on close to a 1/2 acre! Set in a tropical oasis of mature landscaping this charming and spacious split bedroom plan home offers traditional elegance with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a 2 car garage. You will delight in the privacy and secluded atmosphere while sitting on your lanai watching the abundant wildlife just across the canal in the stand of native mangroves and perhaps seeing a Manatee swim by in the canal. Hard to guess from there how convenient a location this really is - just minutes to the Placida Publix Complex for your everyday grocery, banking and post office needs. If you are craving a walk on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world then take a 6 minute drive to the Boca Grande Causeway. As you cross over to the island the scenery is spectacular – gorgeous turquoise water melts into the distant horizon. Ready for a bit of adventure - take your boat out for a wonderful day on the water or just fish from your own dock! This property has many upgrades and features. Preparing meals will be a pleasure in this kitchen updated with solid wood cabinets and granite counters plus a peninsula open to the breakfast area. The metal roof and upgraded insulation are a plus in conjunction with the solar panels for energy savings. If the wanderlust for adventure is calling you there is a 50 amp RV connection for your convenience. This home is perfect for entertaining or relaxation, the screened lanai opens through huge sliding glass doors overlooking the tranquil wide canal. Say goodbye to chilly winds and icy snow and enjoy life in paradise. Sandy beaches, world class golf courses, boating, fishing, and nearby Sarasota art, entertainment and nightlife, great shopping, restaurants from casual to gourmet. The Seller also owns the adjacent vacant lot and is currently for sale separately which would add 120 more feet of waterfront to this tropical paradise.
