This absolutely adorable bungalow with an open floor plan is located in an established neighborhood within close proximity to the river. There is an easement that runs behind the house which allows direct access to the river for kayaking only about ½ block away. This charming home is located on a large lot with no HOA, CDD, or deed restrictions, so you are welcome to park your boat and jet skis (or RV) right on the property which is just minutes away from a public boat ramp on the Manatee River. Behind this property is a gated community with multimillion dollar homes on the river. Expansive lanai overlooks a large backyard with plenty of room for a pool. The roof was replaced approximately 7 years ago and the A/C was replaced in 2019. There is also a newer electrical panel and the sewer line has been replaced to the house. The living areas have attractive vinyl plank flooring and there is carpet in bedrooms. Kitchen has been remodeled and the windows include all new blinds. The garage has a window A/C unit and it currently be used as an additional bedroom for boomerang baby, however, the garage door is still in place and there has been no conversion to a bedroom. This neighborhood is in a fabulous location close by all conveniences including the Ellenton Premium Outlets Mall and is just off US Hwy 301, which provides easy access to I-75 allowing an easy commute to both Tampa/St. Pete and Lakewood Ranch/Sarasota/Bradenton. The neighborhood of Highland Shores is a hidden gem you won’t want to miss.
