There are not many one acre homes that exude this type of privacy, yet this close to the amenities of living in town. This well cared for, large 3 bedroom gem is tucked inside a treelined entrance and also features mature bromeliads, bamboo and other unique vegetation giving your home a hideaway feel you won't experience in any subdivision home. A short walk down your stoned path from the home is your 40' x 26' DETACHED WORKSHOP, which is half screened and perfect for crafts, cook shack or whatever your imagination dreams up. The other half is enclosed to keep equipment or other needed items dry. This home will need some cosmetic updating and is OFFERING A $10k CREDIT towards the start of your updates or use that to buy down a lower interest rate making payments more affordable. There are major component replacements, such as a new roof 2015 and water heater replaced in 2016 that will help on insurance costs, as well as new AC installed 2017 to help keep you cool. The home is close to Publix and other shopping, as well as a great commuter location that is minutes from the Skyway, 30 mins to Sarasota and not much more to Tampa. NO HOA OR DEED RESTRICTIONS. Homes this unique don't come on the market often, so make sure to schedule a showing today.
