My husband and I purchased our home in 2012. We have done lots of work on it. We also own another home at the beach and will spend the summers there

Why they chose this property

It's like your own private island. No homes surround 3 sided of our home. (350 feet of seawall

What makes this property unique

Magnificent water views from all 3 levels of our home. Brand new pool. Centrally located to Sarasota and Tampa. Located in a very old school florida part of town. We are NOT in a gated community. You will be amazed when you get to the water at the end of the street. Extremely private. Residential
