CANAL FRONT. MANATEE RIVER ACCESS. PETS ALLOWED. This home has a layout that could very well be perfect for a large family, multi-generational families or perhaps as an investment with making the upstairs and downstairs into (2) separate apartments. The home has been remodeled! (2) canals over from the beautiful Manatee River. Manatees prefer warm water, so they move throughout the river towards the warmest areas depending on the season. Dolphins LOVE to play as well. Just shy of 4,000 sq. ft. of living space PLUS large screened lanai. DOWNSTAIRS: (1) primary ensuite with bathroom, guest bedroom and bathroom, flex-space with closet that can function as a bedroom, library, yoga or game room. High ceilings, living room with wood-burning fireplace, formal dining, and a Chef’s kitchen with a hidden walk-in pantry behind cabinet doors. Laundry room featuring granite counters, Shaker cabinets, sink and LG washer & dryer. UPSTAIRS: second living quarters with "oversized studio apartment" vibe. However, unlike a studio apartment there is also a large bonus room that can serve as a nursery, a Hollywood actresses’ closet, a Zen-meditation room, workshop, or art studio. Additionally there is another room with a walk-in closet that can serve as an adorable bedroom with a living space along with large bathroom. Outside you will find the Manalee Channel which is a quick left, and right out to the river. The new wood dock makes it easy to jump in your boat, jet ski or kayak. The river flows into the Gulf of Mexico at the Southern edge of Tampa Bay. All the brick pavers are newly installed from the screened lanai down to the canal, around the home and side step along the driveway.
