Reminiscent of a simpler time, this old Florida beach house is a classic. The original wood ceiling and beams are in wonderful condition, as is the roof, which was replaced in 2017. Deeded access to a beautiful beach and the Gulf of Mexico is just steps away. There’s a dock easement across the street on the Intracoastal Waterway where you can drop in a kayak or paddleboard. Surprisingly roomy, there is an opportunity to create additional bedrooms. A fenced side yard is the perfect place to set up the grill for a barbecue. Alternately, you can enjoy this home while making plans to build new — Sarasota County zoning has approved future development of this lot. Located between Nokomis Beach and the Venice Jetty, there are plenty of great waterfront restaurants, a marina, nearby groceries and even a neighborhood ice cream shop. It doesn’t have to be a dream anymore — life is short; buy the beach house!
