BRING ALL OFFERS! Water damage was minimal, and Remediation has been completed, including a brand new AC unit for the main house. Repairs are underway, but you need ACT FAST for an opportunity to take over the project, let us know! WATERFRONT OASIS on the Alafia River! You have an opportunity to own a unique compound situated in the heart of Florida's waterfront paradise! This is a truly one of a kind property with 5-bedrooms, 4½-baths in total, which includes a 2 bedroom guest house or mother-in-law residence separate from the main house. Soaring cathedral ceilings adorned with exposed wood beams, create a warm and inviting atmosphere along with a 2-story fireplace that opens both into the kitchen and living room. The dine-in kitchen features a counter bar and a central island with granite countertops and solid wood cabinetry. Plenty of natural light enhances the sense of openness, making this space perfect for entertaining. The property’s unique layout includes a wide staircase and an elevator that leads up to two master bedrooms, each offering an ensuite bathroom. One master suite opens onto an outdoor deck that provides breathtaking views of the water. A second garage is accessed from the side entrance and also has the laundry. The attached boathouse with a remote-controlled lift is at the rear. A convenient fish preparation station awaits your bounty after a day on the water. The guest house offers a separate entrance, its own kitchen, 1½ baths, and laundry facilities. The secluded backyard is flanked by water to the back, with a recently reinforced seawall, and has a heated spa under cover. The property also includes a completely fenced high profile carport which is perfect for an RV. The solar panels provide for lower energy costs. With no HOA or CDD the property could be a perfect Airbnb or an event venue. The proximity to I-75, US41, and the Crosstown make it close to everything. With some tasteful updating, you can have a spectacular boater’s dream home. The lower part of the drywall on the first floor walls was removed as well as some flooring to facilitate drying after the storm.
