Come see this Beautiful updated home in Highland Shores. Enjoy the Florida weather on the expansive covered front porch complete with fireplace while taking in the tranquil partial river views. With impact windows and doors this home was built to Miami-Dade building standards. The second and third floors are constructed with 8” prestressed slabs that are used to create strong and durable structures that are resistant to hurricanes. There are 3 air-conditioning zones and the roof was replaced mid-2022. This custom built canal front home is incomparable with 2 floors of living area plus a first floor non-conforming space that houses 4 garage spaces, a bonus room, half bath and storage rooms galore! Enjoying 3053 sq. feet of living area and on a protected canal with 40 feet of seawall and dock makes this house a boater’s dream. The canal is approximately 5 feet deep and has room for a 30 foot boat. Only seconds to the Manatee River there are NO BRIDGES and has direct access to the Gulf. The dockside screened porch has a 22x16 upper deck and is perfect for entertaining with serene canal and river views. This home has approximately 1000 sq. ft of screened porches in the front and back of the home that are perfect for entertaining . The backyard has even more outdoor areas to dine alfresco and there is even your own putting green! Inside this residence there is an elevator to each of the three levels starting with the first floor garages and non-conforming spaces connecting to the second and third floor floors. The main floor has a updated kitchen and eating area, dining room and generous living room. Also on the main floor is the split floorplan with a 2nd bedroom and updated bath and primary bedroom and updated bath suite. The third floor has 2 additional bedrooms and one bath, also updated. One of the bedrooms is oversized with 2 closets and it’s own private porch. Orchid Drive South ends on a cul-de-sac which gives you plenty of privacy with NO deed restrictions. Just a half mile away and just around the corner of the canal is the Highland Shores boat ramp. We are just a short drive to I75 (west of I75) and the Ellenton Outlet mall. Close by are restaurants, coffee shops and tiki bars. Detweiler’s grocery store has an abundance of local produce and there is also a Publix nearby. Another fun perk of living here are some popular river-front restaurants to enjoy the old Florida feel dining experience such as Woodys River Roo and Whiskey Joe’s. The Ellenton/Palmetto location has a laid back, easygoing atmosphere, with the benefit of being on the water as well as close to I75. As you travel north you are minutes away from I275 to St Petersburg and Tampa International Airport. As you travel South you are minutes away to University Parkway that is home to the UTC mall and the Sarasota International Airport. This location makes it convenient to travel anywhere in a short amount of time.
