Reduced $25,000! With no fixed bridges to the Bay or Gulf, this special canal front home sits on a deep saltwater canal and has a very pleasing open canal view of two canals joining into a larger canal. It's also on a no-thruway cul-de-sac creating a sense of serenity for your new waterfront lifestyle. Imagine restful days listening to the water lapping at your seawall and enjoying the manatees as they play at the water's edge of your beautifully landscaped, waterfront yard. Entering this home, your first words will be 'This is It!". Beautifully updated, this 2+ Bedroom, 2 Bathroom home includes a water view kitchen with granite counters, marble subway tile with custom marble mosaic backsplash, soft close wood cabinets, under cabinet lighting, purified water at the stainless sink and stainless appliances including double ovens, 36" five burner gas cooktop, architectural stainless steel range hood, dishwasher and french door refrigerator with bottom freezer. For easy entertaining there's an adjacent breakfast room with sliders out to the air conditioned Florida room which enjoys gorgeous water views and direct access to a 29' entertainment patio. The Florida room with great views and a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling can do triple duty as an entertaining/lounging space, a home office for that perfect work/life balance or a third sleeping space. This home is easy living with continuous tile floors flowing seamlessly throughout the entire home and a split bedroom plan with the primary bedroom suite nestled on one side of the home and the guest bedroom with adjacent full bath on the other side. The primary bedroom has a large walk-in closet and a beautifully renovated ensuite bathroom including marble and mosaic tiles in the shower, dual shower heads including a rain head and hand held sprayer plus a granite topped vanity. The guest bathroom is also beautifully updated with a porcelain tub, marble tile and granite topped vanity. Not to be missed are the expensive infrastructure features of this very solid concrete block home. There's a $10,000 water purification system, security system, 2019 HVAC with UV light and 'InstaHot' tankless hot water heater. In addition, the home has hurricane rated windows and doors throughout (except for the Florida room) and a two car garage with a hurricane garage door. You'll also love the extensively landscaped and fenced rear yard with low voltage lighting, a well for the irrigation system, and mature plantings including lime and cherry trees that are terraced by decorative retaining walls down to the deeded 47' dock and boat slip with lift plus canvas roofed 'boat house' over the lift. The lift accommodates an up to 10,000 pound boat and water/electric are available at the dock. Of special importance is that the Coral Shores community and this home (Elevation Certificate indicates the house is at 12') are situated quite a bit higher than the Base Flood Elevation per FEMA of 10' possibly limiting water intrusion during a storm. The current flood insurance premium for this home is approximately $750/year. Coral Shores is also ideally located close to the conveniences of restaurants/shopping, downtown Bradenton and downtown Sarasota plus easy access to Coquina Beach and Bradenton Beach.
