A coastal retreat less than a mile from Manasota Key Beach and the public boat ramp, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom, three-car garage pool home offers an ideal combination of comfort, privacy, and proximity to the water. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street and surrounded by wooded land on both sides with a privacy-fenced backyard, it provides a peaceful setting while still keeping you close to the coast. The property is designed for those who appreciate the Florida lifestyle, featuring a spacious circular driveway that extends through double gates to a reinforced rear concrete pad (6”, 4000 PSI with fiber, rebar, and wire mesh). This area provides ample space for boat, RV, or jet ski parking, eliminating the need for off-site storage and offering flexibility for recreation or even a private pickleball court. Inside, the split floorplan creates a functional flow between living spaces. The formal living and dining rooms overlook the pool through sliding glass doors, while the kitchen features white cabinetry, a tray ceiling, and a breakfast bar. The kitchen opens to the family room with vaulted ceilings and direct pool access, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, sliding glass doors leading to the pool, and barn doors providing privacy from the rest of the home. Its ensuite bath features an oversized dual-sink vanity and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower with a frameless glass door. The guest bedroom includes a walk-in closet and is located next to the guest bath, which also serves as a pool bath with a tub and shower combination. Outdoors, the screened lanai (new in 2024) and heated pool (resurfaced in 2023) offer a private and relaxing retreat. The home includes Pella impact windows and doors, plantation shutters, and a screened and insulated garage door. Major updates include a 2021 roof, HVAC system with warranty, water heater, and 2024 attic insulation and landscaping. All furniture conveys, providing an effortless move-in experience. Located near Lemon Bay and the Gulf, this home makes it easy to spend mornings on the water and afternoons relaxing at the beach. The Island of Venice, Wellen Park’s CoolToday Park, and Historic Dearborn Street are all nearby, offering dining, shopping, and local entertainment. Nature lovers can also enjoy Manasota Preserve, home to gopher tortoises, otters, and nesting sea turtles during the summer season. For anyone seeking a comfortable and convenient coastal home near the beach and boating access, this Manasota Key area property at 1600 Thomas Street delivers the true Florida lifestyle.
