Don’t let the charm of this coastal cottage distract you, this property is absolutely perfect for the serious boater! This adorable bungalow sits on 1/4 acre of waterfront property and is just a couple minutes from the ICW and Stump Pass. This charming house has been lovingly maintained and upgraded to become the perfect boating and fishing getaway. The recently constructed seawall and composite dock includes two angled slips (one covered with a 10,000 pound lift and new canvas), a tie-up for a third boat, a fish cleaning station, water, electric, and approximately 5’ deep water at the dock!

After a long day on the water or short trips to Stump Pass, find peace and solitude in this 1960 cottage with extensive recent upgrades. Vaulted beadboard ceilings with wood beams, built-in niches and bookcases, space saving pocket doors, tile floors, and a soft color palette throughout add charm and functionality. The updated kitchen features wood cabinetry, tile backsplash, vaulted ceilings, and is open to a large dining area with sliders to the paver patio. A delightful vintage bathroom is flanked by two private and spacious bedrooms with one featuring custom built-in cabinetry allowing it to double as an office, tackle room, or craft room. A den with double doors and vaulted ceilings can accommodate additional guests as well. A second bath is conveniently located in the rear of the oversized one-car garage with access from the backyard, making it very easy to hop off the boat and clean up before entering the home. A large storage shed with a kayak rack will allow you to store all your water toys, lawn equipment, and more.

The home has a brand-new roof, soffits, and fascia and other recent improvements include a newer AC system, impact-rated garage door, updated breaker panel, new paver driveway and patio, composite privacy fence, backyard landscaping and irrigation, as well as a newer dishwasher and kitchen sink. Accordion shutters provide peace of mind with full hurricane protection. Three new impact glass sliders, accordion shutters, and full hurricane protection provide additional peace of mind.

From offshore fishing to fly-fishing the flats, it’s all easily accessible from this ideally located property. Nearby Gasparilla Sound and Charlotte Harbor are one of the largest estuaries and most productive fisheries in all of Florida. The Point of Pines neighborhood is a deed-restricted waterfront community with a minimal $50 annual HOA fee and friendly rules & regulations. The location can’t be beaten either by boat, car, bicycling, or walking since local restaurants, quaint beach boutiques, and more are all just a few minutes away!
