Real waterfront just off of marker 16 in south Blackburn Bay. If you like to fish the flats this is fishing Nirvana! This charming 2 bed room 2 bath cottage has a private dock with a small boat house and lift right in your back yard. The lot is a generous size with over 100 feet of frontage on the canal and over 155 feet of depth to the lot for well over a 1/3 of an acre of land. The inside of the home has had some updating and has new real wood kitchen cabinets. Pick your granite and bam a new kitchen to your taste. The terrazzo floors have been professionally re-ground and sealed and are stunning! Truly, the floors are amazing and easy to care for. The location is really prime here as it is west of the trail and just a couple of miles north of Nokomis Beach! Publix and the post office and drug store and banks and restaurants and bars are just around the corner. Everything you need or want is really close and convenient! This may very be the best waterfront value on the market today! Don't let this one go by without a closer look!

Short Sale. This is a special home that holds a great deal of promise. This is real waterfront with a private dock and a small covered set of davits. The canal opens out to marker 16 on the intra coastal water way one of the best fishing spots in Blackburn Bay! If you like stone crabs you are in luck - Mr. Blackburn lives across the canal and can hook you up with the best Stonies in town when in season and as the harvest permits. You can also bike to Nokomis beach without using US 41! The house needs up-dating and a through clean up which will be done promptly. The deceased owner took a reverse mortgage out on it when the value was much higher than it is now. As with this kind of loan, it is now right at the cusp of a short sale at the offered price. The bank has agreed to cooperate with the sale and will be open to reasonable offers. In the mean time it is easily accessible as it only takes a phone call to show it. This is a very special location indeed. Don't miss it.

RSF-1
Residential Single-Family District
The RSF Districts permit single-family residential densities, which may take the form of single-family detached or cluster subdivisions; Cluster subdivisions may include lot line, traditional, patio, villa, atrium, duplex, or townhouse units. The nature of the use of property is the same in all RSF Districts, with variation among the RSF-1, RSF-2, RSF-3 and RSF-4 Districts in the requirements for density, lot area and width, and yards; A limited number of nonresidential uses are allowed, subject to the restrictions and requirements necessary to preserve and protect the single-family residential character of the neighborhood; The RSF Districts are generally used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as Low Density, Moderate Density and Medium Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map and on the Barrier Islands where the application of the district would not increase the density of development or hamper hurricane evacuation planning and disaster mitigation efforts. Locations on the Barrier Islands that have existing RSF zoning are acknowledged, and are considered to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. The RSF-4 District is also used to implement the Comprehensive Plan in the areas shown as Office/Multifamily Residential Area and Corridor on the Future Land Use; The RSF-4 District, while not a primary implementing district, may also be allowed in Regional, Community, Village I, Village II, and Neighborhood Commercial Centers. Appropriate densities within the Low; Moderate or Medium Density Residential areas shall be guided by the density ranges as outlined in Future Land Use Policy 1.1.1, Objective 2.3, and Policy 2.3.1 of the Comprehensive Plan; These densities shall also be determined, in part, by the land use designations and developed residential areas surrounding the parcel.
