A Boat Owner and Nature Lover’s Paradise! Welcome to the Florida lifestyle you've been dreaming of—where peace, privacy, and waterfront living come together in one of the most welcoming neighborhoods around. This charming home backs to lush conservation on a saltwater canal with direct access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf—no bridges, no rear neighbors, and no busy boat traffic. Just smooth sailing from your private dock, where you can enjoy serene views and occasional visits from manatees, otters, dolphins, and sea birds. PLEASE DO NOT STEP ON THE DOCK as it has not been inspected since our recent storms!! Inside, you're welcomed by floor-to-ceiling windows in the Family/Sun room that perfectly frame the scenic view of the wooded canal and the sun-drenched deck just beyond. The interior has been freshly painted with replaced drywall throughout, making it a blank canvas for your personal touch. The oversized primary suite offers space for a king-size bed plus a vanity or cozy reading nook. You'll also love the walk-in closet and ensuite bath featuring a slate-effect tile walk-in shower. Major updates include a new roof installed in 2021, and replaced sewer and water lines, giving you peace of mind for years to come. The community features a Private Community Boat Ramp and Members-Only Dock, and best of all: No HOA fees and no CDDs! You'll quickly fall in love with the laid-back, friendly vibe of this neighborhood, where holiday boat parades, neighborhood picnics, and golf cart visits from neighbors are just part of daily life. Schedule your showing today and experience what makes this home—and this community—so special. You won’t want to miss it!
