Waterfront living is waiting for you! This home is on great boating water – sailboats are welcome! A small “splash” pool is just enough to refresh, and there’s a dock and 8,000 lb boat lift. Enjoy open living space and a split bedroom plan.

Based on the original “Cruiser 3” floor plan, there’s the traditional L-shaped living and dining rooms up front, with a central kitchen that’s been expanded to add lots of pantry storage. The adjacent family room has a built-in home office or homework desk and cabinetry. The original Florida room has been enclosed to add comfortable space, and a wood-burning fireplace was added for charm. You’ll appreciate efficient gas appliances including the hot water heater, dryer, furnace and outdoor grill. There’s much to enjoy here, and it likely won’t last long – see it for yourself today!

This waterfront home is in the desirable Broadwater neighborhood where trim green lawns, lush foliage, tropical flowers and swaying palms are the norm. You’ll spend lots of time enjoying the outdoors here, whether you’re relaxing on the lanai or hopping on the boat.

Inside, start with the L-shaped formal living and dining rooms that are the hallmark of this home’s original style (this one was the “Cruiser 3” model). The bedrooms are split, with the Master suite enjoying privacy on the north side of the home, and the other two bedrooms sharing a hall bath on the south side. The Master bath was remodeled around 1990 to add double sinks, and the walk-in closet has professional organizer shelving.

The kitchen has been expanded, with a wall of pantry cabinets adjacent to the original family room, which has a built-in home office or homework desk and cabinetry. A casual dining bar opens the space to the wide Florida room across the back of the home, which was enclosed to maximize air conditioned space. A wood-burning fireplace adds a nice touch to this comfortable space.
Just outside is a spacious covered lanai as well as an open deck for sunning. Banana palms line the north property line for shade and privacy from the neighbors. A small fiberglass “splash” pool is all you need to get refreshed without tons of maintenance.

Down at the dock, there’s water and electric service, an 8,000 lb. boat lift, and it’s plenty deep enough for sailboats. This canal has easy access out to Boca Ciega Bay with no fixed bridges to the Gulf of Mexico. It’s a boater’s paradise, for sure.

Within minutes you can enjoy award-winning beaches, and it’s a snap to hop on the interstate from here. Get downtown in less than fifteen minutes to enjoy the thriving nightlife, museums and restaurants. Tampa International Airport is just a half hour away, or head south to Bradenton (just twenty minutes to the outlet mall!) and Sarasota.

All of this in a neighborhood where folks are friendly, and birds and dolphins are aplenty. You’ll come home to peace & quiet, despite being so close to everything you need. See for yourself today what the Florida waterfront lifestyle is all about!
