This mid-canal gem in prestigious Country Club Shores perfectly balances immediate enjoyment with future possibilities. Whether you are looking for a private boating retreat, a "saltwater lake house," or a high-performing seasonal rental investment, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom block construction home delivers “all of the above”, and boasts an elevated, oversized lot with bay views! A new metal roof (2019) shelters an open gathering space wrapped by 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (2 en-suite!), an inviting kitchen, and an oversized 2-car garage. A refreshing screened-in pool completes the oasis. Perhaps the most compelling feature of this home is its remarkable resilience and elevation – it remained high and dry during the area’s most challenging weather, sustaining zero damage or water intrusion during Milton, Helene, and Ian. In fact, there is no evidence of any storm damage throughout the entire history of the home. This level of peace of mind is a rare luxury for coastal living, ensuring your investment remains as sturdy and secure as it is beautiful. Waterside upgrades completed in 2019 transform the back yard into a premier private marina.

You are a one-minute boat ride to Sarasota Bay and five minutes to the Gulf, with no low bridges blocking your path to adventure. Deeded beach access is just a seven-minute stroll away. Nearby Sarasota Yacht Club, Bird Key Yacht Club, and Longboat Key Club further expand the active lifestyle opportunities offered by this phenomenal address. If you envision eventually building a grander "forever home," the unique dimensions of this lot offer a distinct architectural advantage. With almost 1000 sqft more than the neighborhood's typical 100x100 lots, you have an additional 282 square feet of allowable building coverage. This property is a versatile coastal sanctuary that offers a rare blend of ready enjoyment and significant long-term potential.
