Welcome to 1611 E Shell Point Rd, a 3-bedroom, 2-bath block home tucked under mature oaks on an oversized Ruskin lot. The interior features luxury vinyl plank flooring, white shaker cabinetry, a stainless range, and tiled tub surrounds in both baths. A bright front Florida room wraps the home in natural light from sunup to sundown — perfect as a home office, playroom, or sitting area. Step outside to a private fenced yard with room for boats, trailers, or a workshop, plus a covered side patio and bonus storage shed. No HOA. No CDD. Minutes to US-41, I-75, Apollo Beach dining, Little Harbor Marina, and Gulf access. Excellent opportunity for owner-occupants, downsizers, or investors looking to add a property with land and flexibility in a high-growth Hillsborough corridor. Schedule your private showing today.
Ruskin Colony Farms, located between U.S. 41 and I-75, is a rural and residential Ruskin neighborhood with wide lots and a working-landscape feel. The neighborhood reads as low-slung Florida homes, small farms, and long driveways framed by palms and open sky. The character concentrates around the U.S. 41 and College Ave E corridor, where produce stands, bait-and-tackle counters, and waterfront-bound traffic set the daily rhythm. Community touchstones include The Dog House and Grill, Ruskin Drive-In Theatre, and E.G. Simmons Regional Park. Life here tracks the seasons—gardens, boats, and backroads—while Tampa Bay stays within reach for bigger-city errands.

It takes a special property to be a place for both work and home and not just your work from home office. This property can be 25% Business the front and home sweet home in the back. Come on over and check-out the multi-use zoning and just over a 1/2 acre of land can be a perfect redevelopment for Residential. Most recently it was a medical office and personal residence. Structure will need a lot of love so it may be better to build from the ground up, but definitely need to keep that top of the line circa 1962 Frigidaire Flair with pull-out range, super sweet!
