Reduced for quick sale! This one-of-a kind home sits on over 1/2 acre of waterfront property on the Como Waterway which leads to the Gulf of Mexico and is the perfect house for entertaining! The original home was situated on a single lot but was merged with the subsequently acquired adjacent lot for tax benefit purposes. The house consists of over 2,000 sq ft of living space which includes a lanai that was enclosed and air conditioned. The open floor plan is so unique that there is a myriad of ways that furniture could be placed, limited only by your creativity! The entire back wall of the family room opens via folding doors to allow unfettered access to the pool and canal beyond. Within the last 7 years, the kitchen was remodeled along with the laundry room and master bathroom, and the entire living area (LR,DR,FR) was tiled in 2021. The roof was installed in 2020 and the HVAC system was upgraded to accommodate the increased square footage in 2021. High-end garage shelving was added to the garage and the floor was epoxied in 2021. The in-ground pool is surrounded by a newly screened cage with “full-view” screens meaning there is no cross bar at eye level when sitting on your lanai or in your family room. The pool can easily be converted back to salt-water. Beyond the pool to the back is a ramp to the dock with a 10k lb boat lift. To the left is a hot tub and an outdoor kitchen (needs grill replacement) with marble countertop and an overhead pergola offering the ability to provide shade for the chef! Beyond the outdoor kitchen, you will find the adjacent lot which the original owner had begun to develop. It includes a huge patio with a firepit (needs to be rebuilt) and a massive set of Travertine stairs with a retaining wall that eases the descent from the lot to the patio. The owner’s original intention was to build an auxiliary building with a workshop on the main level and an in-law apartment on the second floor. The house is in a flood zone but has never even come close to flooding since the house sits high above the water level. Current flood insurance premium is $2,460/year.
