Only a twist of fate brings the beloved Captain’s House back to the market. Despite the sellers having the patience of Job, the buyer just couldn’t close. Their loss is your gain as there is a new opportunity to snag this gem. Nestled in a quiet, private neighborhood just steps from the beach, the bright and open floor plan provides the perfect vacation spot or a year-round beach paradise home. This is your chance to own your permanent oasis, private vacation property or income property! The Captain's House is only a few blocks from the beautiful sugar sand beaches and some of the best dining and shopping on the island! Gulf Drive is only steps away from the home where you can jump on the FREE TROLLEY that allows you to explore the whole island! (See Attachments to MLS for trolley schedule). When you aren't soaking up the sun on the beach or combing the many unique shops on the island, you will be lounging by your own PRIVATE POOL surrounded by a lushly landscaped fenced yard! This home comes FULLY FURNISHED and offers a family-friendly layout with high ceilings and huge skylights. The decor has recently been upgraded and a NEW AC, new washer and a new water heater have recently been installed. Additional upgrades include a new fence, a new pool heater and upgraded landscaping. This home can be rented on a WEEKLY basis which gives owners an even greater opportunity to earn more income. This house has a fan base that keeps visitors coming back year after year! *Proposed map removes this property from AE/VE flood zone. See new map in attachments. Based on information from Manatee county, expect the new maps to be effective June 2021.
