Cortez - Beach Property For Sale #5091042

RARE OPPORTUNITY IN CORTEZ. Spacious 3 Bed/3 Bath HOME, on 1/2 ACRE LOT, on a cul-de-sac, less than a mile from the beach, on a CANAL, with a BOAT SLIP. This classic vintage 2-story older block home with vinyl siding has great bones. Built in 1966 and well cared for, the house is now ready for a refresh. Even though shag carpet is actually quite confortable, it's not really a thing these days, so the floors are ready for your updated finishes. Some of the bigger items have already been done-BRAND NEW ROOF (2024), BRAND NEW ELECTRICAL PANEL (2024), and NEWER AC (2020). The first floor has a living room, kitchen, separate dining room, large family room with a fireplace, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a large utility/pantry room, and a 2 car garage. The upstairs has a large bedroom with an en suite bath and walk-in closet. With no HOA, there are so many options with this property. The 1/2 acre could be divided into 2 lots, each lot with a house. The requirement is 6000 SF of land per single family home. The current house could be lived in as is or rented. The current home could be updated or torn down and a new home built. A brand new home could be built on the 2nd lot. So many options. The boat slip originally was covered as a boathouse and the boathouse can be rebuilt as long as it's not larger than the house and meets setback requirements. The canal behind the house goes out to the intercoastal next to the Cortez Bridge, and then out to the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay, so it's ideal for the boating and fishing enthusiast. Also, the county just purchased several acres on the north side of the Cortez Bridge with plans to put in a public boat ramp with parking and boat storage. This unique property can truly boast LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, on a canal, less than a mile from the beaches of Anna Maria Island, within minutes of restaurants, shopping, golfing, airports, historic Cortez Fishing Village, and so much more. Your Florida lifestyle awaits!
