One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. What you see is what you get with this CHARMING MID-CENTURY block house in a great location! Only 4 miles to Siesta Key Public Beach, near to shopping and restaurants and Gulf Gate, you'll be spoiled for choice of activities and dining! Rest comfortably under the new roof (and new soffits & vents) and feel safe with a new electrical panel. There is a security system at the property which you could elect to activate. Gorgeous laminate flooring has been floated over the original terrazzo to preserve it, and it was chosen to blend as well as possible with existing tile in the kitchen, laundry and bathroom. Loads of storage too in the indoor laundry room! There is a main living room / dining room to the front, and a Florida room (sun room) to the rear, so you have two separate enjoyment spaces. The Florida room overlooks the expansive backyard, awaiting your gardening touches and has a peek-a-boo view of the pond at the back. The two bedrooms are a very good size, and the rear one also has a lovely view through the cattails to the pond. So many places to rest your eyes. There is plenty of room to the rear of the property if you would like to add a pool or extend, fence all or some of it, plant a garden. All kinds of possibilities! This property is a wonderful example of early block constructed, classic Florida architecture. Quick access to 41 and also I-75 and a post office nearby.
