Unique opportunity for a 4-5 bedroom lakefront compound on over 1.5 acres, centrally located to the area’s top attractions. This property features numerous extras, including an in-law apartment (ideal for a relative or rental income) and a sturdy steel barn (perfect for safely storing cars, an RV, or a boat) set on a spacious lakefront lot with no HOA restrictions. The home spans over 3,600 sq ft and includes 3 beds, 3 ½ baths, offering expansive lake views from the heated saltwater pool. A bonus room serves as an excellent media/game room, or with minor modifications, could be transformed into a 5th bedroom. The in-law apartment, spanning over 600 sq ft, is connected to the main home but is currently accessed exclusively through an exterior entrance. The apartment features a cozy cottage vibe and includes a kitchen with breakfast nook, full bathroom and a spacious bedroom with two closets. Simple drywall modifications could reintegrate the apartment into the main home. The large kitchen features multiple prep areas and sinks, solid wood cabinets, and water views from the breakfast bar. Unique architectural elements include interior archways, angled ceilings, a courtyard fountain, and a sloping metal roof with a cupola. Built with sturdy steel construction and well-maintained, the next owner can enjoy peace of mind with a resilient standing seam metal roof, newer HVAC units and updates to the pool. The next owner will appreciate the unique charm and character of this home, along with the array of potential uses – rental income, vehicle/boat storage or as a multigenerational compound. The 1.8 acre property is centrally located to Downtown Sarasota and Bradenton with SRQ International Airport a short drive away.
