"Excellent choice for your primary home, second residence or as an income property. Situated in the community of Bay Vista, only 10 minutes by car to public Manasota Key beaches, located directly across the street from Lemon Bay Park, and very close to historic downtown Dearborn Street, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has been beautifully updated! Lemon Bay Park is a protected nature area providing privacy, dog walking trails, abundant wildlife, and educational exploration opportunities. All windows, except those facing the lanai, are newly installed (Oct 2025) and IMPACT RATED, with aluminum frames. This home has nearly 2,000 square feet of stunning travertine patterned ceramic tile floors and shower surrounds. The large contemporary kitchen features solid wood cabinets with dove tailed drawers, granite counters, a glass tile backsplash, a twelve foot breakfast bar, a range top and hood, a double oven, dishwasher, microwave, and beverage refrigerator. All appliances are brushed, stainless steel. The kitchen opens up to the family room, which features a brick, woodburning fireplace (inspected in 2023 after new chimney cap installation) for cozy heat during those cooler evenings. The new chimney cap was custom fabricated (2023) and installed to withstand heavy winds. The roof is strapped down, also to withstand heavy winds. Sliding doors from the kitchen, dining room and primary bedroom all lead to a large (22 x 12 ft.) lanai with gorgeous views of the landscaping and Lemon Bay Park. The ensuite master bedroom features 2 walk in closets, and a gorgeous master bath with separate vanities and a unique spa like walk in shower with a central rain shower in addition to a traditional wall shower head. Both additional large bedrooms have walk in closets. The beautifully updated guest bath features a shower/bathtub combination and the same travertine patterned ceramic that is used throughout the house, a granite vanity top and a door that leads directly to the lanai. The landscaping has been recently updated (Summer 2025) and there is a functional irrigation system that was recently (Summer 2025) and fully serviced, for both plant beds and lawn, and which draws off the private well meaning that irrigation water is FREE. There is an annual HOA fee of $60. A new electrical panel and hot water heater were installed in 2023. The home is in Flood Zone X (no flood insurance required) and it is move in ready!
