Location! Location! Location! Waterfront pool home located on Bonaire Bayou with direct access to Manatee River, Tampa Bay, Intercoastal Waterways and Gulf of Mexico. This two-story home was designed for entertaining and has a large front porch with a paver block sidewalk and decorative curbing accents  thru out the yard to give added curb appeal. Upon entering the home you will find 14' vaulted ceilings with an open floor plan concept.  The spacious kitchen has plenty of cabinet space, a pantry and comes complete with a kitchen island which overlooks the great room and dining room.  There is a large indoor laundry room off the kitchen. The flooring in the main living area is a modern wood vinyl flooring.  The home is a split floor plan with two bedrooms and guest bath downstairs and master en-suite upstairs that comes with a view of the canal. The master has a huge-walk-in closet and several other closets and a spacious bathroom with a large -walk-in shower and a garden Jacuzzi tub.  There is a bonus room that could be used as an office, sitting room, a home gym or a  nursery.  At the back of the great room you will find French Doors that lead to a HUGE covered screened lanai and the stunning backyard views of the pool and wide canal that gives plenty of privacy from your neighbors.  Although the home says it was built in 1956, you will certainly take a double take as it was extensively remodeled in 1996 when a new addition was added to the home.  Upgrades included new sewer lines, plumbing, new electrical wiring, and hurricane straps.  A new roof was just installed a month ago.  The LARGE pool was upgraded in 2015 and comes with a beautiful Marlin and a crystal Crete finish.  The paver block deck was also added in 2015. The boating area has a 10,000# boat lift, a maintenance free wood dock, 4 boat pilings to tie up an additional boat and the dock is  large enough that it  could accommodate  a second boat.  Don't miss out having family fun all year round boating, fishing, swimming, sunbathing, enjoying a BBQ or roasting marshmallows and hot dogs at your fire pit or just plain relaxing on your lanai.  The back yard is completely fenced and landscaped.  There is an artisian well for irrigation and a sprinkler system. On the side of the home is a second driveway and a gate to open and  pull an RV or boat onto your parking pad, complete with a hookup.  The home also comes with an oversized 40 x 15  tandem garage that has a garage door in the front of the home and a garage door in the back of the home, so plenty of room for cars, workshop, storage and all your toys.  Behind the garage is another concrete slab that would be great for your BBQ area.  Lots of room to entertain in this backyard!  There is also a storage building behind the garage that could be used for additional storage or a workshop.  The lot is almost a quarter of an acre, so plenty of privacy from your neighbors. No Deed Restrictions, Association Fees or CDD fees! The home is conveniently located within minutes to Anna Maria beaches, hospitals and shopping.  Easy access to I-75, Sarasota, Tampa and the airports.  Boaters and fishermen what more could you ask for?
