Bring your boat and fishing pole and start living the good life! You'll love having your boat at your own private dock, which is on a canal just a few hundred yards from the Manatee River. The dock has both water and electric making your boating life a breeze. From your dock, you'll reach the wide expanse of the Manatee River in 5 minutes and if you're headed for the Gulf, it's an easy 20 minute ride. Whether you want to fish for Snook, Tarpon or Grouper, or just enjoy being on the water, you'll have easy access from this waterfront home. The home has been nicely updated with engineered wood floors. Two bedrooms, large living room, plus florida room, and expansive lanai offer plenty of space to spread out. The Florida room could easily be turned into a 3rd bedroom and has a convenient full bathroom close at hand. In addition to the 2.5 bathrooms, there's a secluded outdoor shower that you'll appreciate when you come off your boat after a day on the water. There's plenty of storage in this home - both bedrooms have walk-in closets and there's a separate storage shed for all that boating and yard equipment. The one car garage provides even more storage. The large lot offers plenty of space to put a pool in and has more than ample room to store a boat on a trailer if you choose not to leave it at the dock. A well for irrigation (in addition to the public water supply) allows you to keep your lawn green with minimal expense. Conveniently located adjacent to the Highland Shores Boat Ramp, it's a breeze to pull your boat out for storage. Hidden amongst 100 year old oaks this home is ready for new owners. Includes a new roof that is being installed prior to closing.
