RARE OPPORTUNITY! Own a home with a pool on a little well-kept secret “Island” on Phillippi Creek with boat access to the bay, and Gulf of Mexico — under a million dollars! This block home was lovingly maintained, and is now waiting for its new owner to update it and make it their own. The lot is generous, and one could potentially add a second floor or build new. The property was appraised in May 2023. This sought-after neighborhood is perfect for retirement or for a family, located in the desirable Southside School district and Sarasota High, walking distance to restaurants and shops. Boat davits are operational but need servicing. HVAC is 3 years old, water supply lines were redone, water heater is 4 yrs old, Roof is about 9 years old; pool was added in 1996, and pump is 5 years old, newer dishwasher and microwave. No truss roof provides an opportunity to potentially elevate the ceilings. Seller already paid for the County sewer connection. For the art lovers -- the home features an entire selection of locally hand-made, stained-glass doors and windows. Joining the community Association is optional. Sold AS-IS.
