Set on a spacious 100' x 100' landscaped homesite, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,815 square feet of living space, beautiful lake and wildlife views, a fully fenced backyard and no HOA. Mature trees and landscaping enhance the tranquil, park-like setting, while the generous property offers room to add a pool. Inside, abundant natural light and new flooring enhance the main living areas. The home offers multiple inviting living spaces, including a separate living room and dining area, with a versatile bonus area positioned between the two. This flexible space can serve as a den, study, reading room, or additional sitting area. Toward the rear of the home, a spacious family room provides another comfortable gathering space with easy access to the expansive screened porch for indoor-outdoor Florida living. The updated kitchen features wood cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, newer appliances, and generous workspace and storage. Two spacious bedrooms are located on the main level and share an updated bath with walk in shower and single vanity. Upstairs, the private primary suite creates a relaxing retreat with a walk-in closet and updated ensuite bath featuring a tiled walk-in shower. The suite opens to both an open-air terrace and screened balcony, offering additional spaces to unwind and take in the peaceful surroundings. Outdoor living is a highlight with a screened, covered wraparound lanai overlooking the fenced backyard and lake. A large outdoor sitting and patio area provides additional space for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying the abundant wildlife. With no residence immediately behind the property across the water, the backyard maintains an appealing sense of openness and privacy. Approximately 4-foot split-rail fencing with wire helps preserve the lake views, while an approximately 12-foot-wide access gate provides convenient backyard access for recreational equipment or trailers, subject to applicable regulations. Additional storage is provided by an approximately 10' x 14' permitted detached storage building with wood construction, metal siding, a metal roof, and metal doors. The oversized one-car garage includes the washer and dryer along with a removable finished flex/office area, currently used as a home office. The partition can be removed to restore a larger garage configuration. Significant documented improvements include a FULL ROOF REPLACEMENT COMPLETED IN MAY 2024 with Owens Corning architectural asphalt shingles and GAF WeatherWatch/StormGuard waterproof underlayment. Roof-to-wall/truss attachments were upgraded in 2022 by Florida Third Nail Specialists, including qualifying truss clips where required, followed by a wind-mitigation inspection. Two large windows have also been replaced with storm impact-resistant windows; only these two windows are represented as impact-resistant. The GAF underlayment carries a limited warranty with transfer provisions, subject to manufacturer requirements. The home is served by a private septic system, most recently pumped in May 2025, and extensive documentation is available for many of the property's improvements and inspections. With NO HOA and no known deed restrictions, this inviting lakefront home combines privacy, character, flexible living space, valuable improvements, and an exceptional outdoor setting—all while remaining conveniently located near Venice shopping, dining, recreation, and the beautiful Gulf Coast beaches.

What would it feel like to build your Florida home in a quiet natural setting, then enjoy your own separate piece of Alligator Creek waterfront? This South Venice offering includes TWO SEPARATE PARCELS sold together totaling approximately 0.48 acres/21,068 sq ft: an approximately 0.18-acre homesite along Lemon Bay Drive and a separate approximately 0.30-acre riparian parcel with roughly 80 feet of Alligator Creek frontage. For the buyer who would rather preserve capital than commit the entire purchase price at closing, the seller is willing to consider seller financing with substantial down payment terms and a term of up to 5 years, subject to seller approval and mutually acceptable final terms. Imagine a custom Florida home designed around the way you want to live: quiet mornings outside, evenings near the water, a kayak ready for a paddle, a fishing rod close by, or simply a place to enjoy the creek. Subject to permitting and site conditions, a dock or pier may provide access for kayaking, fishing or a suitable boat. NO MANDATORY HOA. Alligator Creek continues west toward the Intracoastal Waterway and Lemon Bay within an established waterfront corridor where properties along Lemon Bay Drive include docks, fishing piers and kayak access. Water depth, tides, bridge clearance, navigability and vessel suitability should be independently verified. Lot 37, Parcel 0456-09-0044, is approximately 0.18 acre, a legal lot of record with RSF-3 zoning and MODR Future Land Use previously verified with Sarasota County. Separate riparian Parcel 0456-09-0040 is approximately 0.30 acre with approximately 80 feet of Alligator Creek frontage. MLS-reported dimensions are approximately 263.35' x 80'. Dock or pier feasibility is subject to permitting and agency approval. South Venice offers optional amenities without mandatory HOA dues, including the South Venice Beach Ferry, Boat Ramp and Kayak/Canoe/Paddleboard Launch. Current published 2026 pricing is approximately $200/year for the ferry, $150/year for Boat Ramp access and $100/year for the paddle launch. Pricing, eligibility, rules, schedules and amenities may change; buyers should verify current information. Approximate drive times: South Venice Beach Ferry 3-5 minutes, Manasota Beach 5-8 minutes, Historic Downtown Venice 8-10 minutes, Venice Beach and Caspersen Beach 10-12 minutes. Nearby Shamrock Park offers paved trails with connections to Venetian Waterway Park and the Legacy Trail network. Drive times are estimates. Electric is available at the street. Central water and sewer are not available at the homesite; well and septic are anticipated. Flood conditions include AE and Floodway designations. IMPORTANT: The homesite and Alligator Creek parcel are separate parcels, not one continuous waterfront homesite. Buyer and buyer's agent should independently verify parcel configuration, boundaries, acreage, zoning, buildability, utilities, well/septic, flood and environmental conditions, water depth/navigability, bridge clearance, dock/pier feasibility and permitting, amenity access and fees, measurements, drive times and intended use with applicable authorities.
