About This Property

Short Sale. Situated on an EXTRA LARGE FENCED CORNER LOT, this home offers the perfect combination of location and updates. Major improvements include a NEW ROOF (2022) and NEW hot water heater. Newer stainless steel appliances (2023) in the spacious kitchen that is open to the dining and living room space. The kitchen has a great layout with the sit-up breakfast bar, generous counter space, and ample cabinetry. You will love the screened in back lanai - perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Tile flooring runs throughout the home — NO CARPET anywhere. Located in an X flood zone (no flood insurance typically required with most mortgages). Even better — NO CDD and NO HOA fees. Conveniently located just a short drive to the Gulf beaches, with plenty of shopping and dining options nearby, this home truly checks the boxes.
