Property Description
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-inch prestressed slabs that are used to create strong and durable structures for hurricanes. There are three air-conditioning zones and the roof was replaced mid-2022. This custom-built canal-front home is incomparable with two floors of living area plus a first-floor non-conforming space that houses four garage spaces, a bonus room, half bath and storage rooms galore! Enjoying 3,053 square 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 22-by-16-foot upper deck and is ideal for entertaining with serene canal and river views. This home has approximately 1,000 square feet of screened porches in the front and back of the home for entertaining. The backyard has even more outdoor areas to dine alfresco and there is even your 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 floors. The main floor has an updated kitchen and eating area, dining room and generous living room. Also on the main floor is the split floorplan with a second bedroom and updated bath and primary bedroom, and updated bath suite. The third floor has two additional bedrooms and one bath, also updated. One of the bedrooms is oversized with two closets and its 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 around the corner of the canal is the Highland Shores boat ramp. We are just a short drive to Interstate 75 west of Interstate 75 and the Ellenton Outlet mall. Close by are restaurants, coffee shops and tiki bars. Detweiler’s grocery 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 Interstate75. As you travel north you are minutes away from Interstate 275 to St. Petersburg and Tampa International Airport. As you travel south you are minutes away to University Parkway home to the UTC mall and the Sarasota International Airport. This location makes it convenient to travel anywhere in a short amount of time and NO deed restrictions!
