This amazing waterfront home is located on an oversized lot with wide canal views, just seconds from the Myakka River, offering boating access to the Gulf of Mexico and pristine beaches. As you walk through the screened entrance, past the front door, the spectacular water view is showcased through the Great Room sliding glass doors, past the sparkling heated saltwater pool & screened lanai. Water views are everywhere you look through the numerous windows and sliders that create an energizing flow of natural light. The vaulted ceilings add even more volume to this spacious home, the coastal wall colors will brighten your day, and the split bedroom floor plan gives you privacy from your guests who will never want to go home. The large kitchen offers a whimsically tiled colorful backsplash, a French door refrigerator, crisp white appliances and cabinets featuring tropical accents, a breakfast bar, water views, and opens to the Great Room, perfect for entertaining. You will wake to pool and lanai views in your Master Bedroom and enjoy your morning coffee in the breakfast nook with sliding glass doors overlooking the recently resurfaced pool, upgraded brick paver lanai, and wide canal views as you plan your day. If work is on the agenda, slip into the office to make that phone call. Fish off your dock and launch your boat from your backyard. After a rough day golfing, boating, or sunning at a nearby beach, relax in your pool or hot tub, discuss the memories you made that day, and use the pool bath to keep your floors dry. Grill some burgers and grab a seat at your large outdoor bar, or hang out in the bonus/game room with friends. Your coveted southwest rear exposure keeps your pool warm and you will see the skies catch on fire at sunset. If you join the Property Owners of Gulf Cove Association for a nominal fee you will have use of the Gulf Cove Waterfront Park, only minutes away, where you can enjoy spectacular wide water views of the Myakka River, launch your boat or kayak at the community boat ramp, host a BBQ under the pavilion, or simply have fun at the playground area. Your oversized garage gives you plenty of room to store your toys, and the Hurricane Shutters and 2016 roof provide extra peace of mind. This is THE home everyone dreams about when they think about life in paradise, call today!
