New Metal Roof and a Long Southern Water View That Defines the Setting – This waterfront home, remediated following Hurricane Milton, offers a unique opportunity for a new owner to restore and reimagine the property. Its waterfront setting provides the foundation to create a personalized coastal retreat while maximizing the location and water access. Positioned along a saltwater canal, the home captures an extended, open water view that creates a sense of depth, space, and visual calm. With a desirable southern exposure, the backyard and main living areas benefit from consistent natural light throughout the day, enhancing both the interior spaces and the outdoor living environment. A new metal roof provides an important structural update and adds value as you plan future improvements. This upgrade immediately sets the tone for a property that offers strong fundamentals while allowing room for thoughtful restoration and customization. Inside, your eye is drawn straight through the living space to a dramatic wall of glass sliders that spans the entire back of the home. This design creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living and places the water view front and center. The long canal perspective feels open and private, with the southern exposure keeping the space bright without the harsh glare associated with western facing properties. An electric fireplace adds warmth and character to the main living area, creating a comfortable focal point. The outdoor living space is where the setting truly comes together. A large, screened pool is paired with an expansive covered lanai, offering a flexible environment for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the water view as it stretches out beyond the pool enclosure. The southern exposure allows the space to remain light filled and inviting throughout the day. At the water’s edge, a concrete dock with water and electric provides the foundation for waterfront enjoyment. A private boat lift allows convenient access to the canal system and onward to Charlotte Harbor, while the saltwater canal also supports fishing directly from the backyard. A bonus room is located adjacent to the opposite side of the garage. This space offers practical flexibility for storage, workshop use, hobby space, or other needs, separate from the main living areas of the home. Additional features include hurricane protection for added confidence and a spacious two car garage with ample storage. The U-shaped driveway provides generous parking and easy access for daily use and guests. Conveniently located near boating routes, waterfront dining, parks, shopping, and everyday essentials, this property is well positioned for enjoying the surrounding coastal setting. The combination of a long water view, desirable southern exposure, expansive outdoor living spaces, dock and lift, and recent roof update creates a strong foundation for thoughtful restoration. With its setting along the saltwater canal and its emphasis on light, views, and outdoor living, this home offers a compelling opportunity to create something truly special along the Charlotte Harbor canal waterfront.
