Welcome to Dona Bay Shores, the BEST-PRICED Gulf access WATERFRONT property in Sarasota County, nestled in the heart of Nokomis with canal access to Dona Bay and the Gulf of Mexico via the Venice Jetties, just a 15-minute boat ride away! Presenting a captivating opportunity for water enthusiasts, this charming 1827 square foot (as per Sarasota County) residence features three bedrooms and three baths. The home's spacious layout is accentuated by a sizable yard with a 47.5-foot-long dock and a 14.75-foot-wide and 34-foot-long boathouse. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a thoughtfully designed split floor plan, featuring a generous great room that serves as the focal point for both daily living and entertaining. Expansive windows frame serene water views, infusing the space with a sense of tranquility. The large, bright, and airy kitchen showcases white cabinets and adjustable LED lighting, accentuated by a tongue and groove tray ceiling that bathes the area in natural light. Adjacent is a dining area overlooking lush greenery, the perfect space to start and end the day. The primary bedroom suite, along with two additional spacious bedrooms and a fourth den/office, provides ample accommodation for family and guests. Completing the home is a convenient and large 2-car attached garage with a storage closet and access to the third bathroom and laundry room. An extra-wide (26.5 feet) driveway ensures ample parking space for residents and guests alike. Conveniently located near Nokomis and Venice Beaches, the Legacy bike Trail, and historic Venice Island. With abundant local restaurants and shopping and downtown Sarasota's vibrant cultural offerings and nightlife just minutes away, there's always an adventure awaiting. The home still has storm damage not adequately covered by insurance. It has been mitigated, but the new owner will need to replace the roof with a new roof of their choice. The listing price reflects this and has a large cushion to allow the buyer to update the home to their preferences. Arguably the nicest "fixer-upper" you are likely to ever see. This is your opportunity to make this your dream home and embrace the waterfront lifestyle you've always dreamed of; call now to schedule your private showing today!
