Looking for something a little different? Check out this TURNKEY FURNISHED 3 bed/2.5 bath stilt home on the most desirable lake in Burnt Store Marina. You'll never get tired of the long water views with sunsets and amazing wildlife from an expansive 2nd floor lanai. You can skip paying for extra storage with the largest garage in the Marina - 2,005sf of air conditioned space - to hold your small boat, several cars, golf cart, toys and your Costco purchases with ease. Or rent the space to others who don't have covered parking! Aren't sure about using stairs? You can easily add an elevator inside. It's been done in the home next door. What about a pool? There's plenty of room on the southern side of the home - and since you own the entire lot, you can make modifications that aren't possible with a condo or “zero lot line” home. Inside a spacious open floorplan with high ceilings and wet bar make the interior feel even larger. A generous kitchen brings everyone together in the center of the home with new granite counters and mosaic tile backplashes, new stainless appliances and loads of cabinets. There's plenty of space to entertain family and friends. Skylights overhead provide extra natural light. Large bedrooms are spaced apart for privacy. Another lower level lanai includes an above-ground hot tub and walk-out access to the large surrounding lot. Enjoy shared access to a long dock over the water to watch the sunsets - and bring your fishing pole! You can catch snook and bass that rival those in Charlotte Harbor. Recently painted exterior and interior complement other updates including newer lighting and fixtures, newer water heater upstairs, two mini-split air conditioners and epoxy flooring for the garage and large pavered driveway outside. This can be a fantastic permanent home, seasonal residence or investment property. Don't pass up this opportunity to be on the Soundings Lake!
