BRING YOUR VISION AND MAKE THIS ONE SHINE! If you're looking for a solid home with plenty of space, a great floor plan and the opportunity to make it your own, take a closer look at this LAND-OWNED home in North River Estates. Built in 2015 and offering approximately 1,541 square feet of living space, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with an additional flex room already has the features that are difficult—and expensive—to add later. What it needs now is someone willing to roll up their sleeves, give it a good cleaning, add some fresh paint and bring back the shine! Step inside and you'll find tall ceilings, an open floor plan and plenty of windows providing natural light. The spacious kitchen offers wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a large island/breakfast bar and plenty of room for cooking and entertaining. The adjoining living and dining areas create a comfortable gathering space, while the additional flex room gives you options for a home office, hobby room, den or reading room. The generous primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a large private bath with dual sinks, granite countertops, a walk-in shower with built-in bench and a separate water closet. The second bedroom also features a walk-in closet, providing excellent storage for guests or everyday living. One of the home's standout features is the 26-foot screened lanai overlooking the conservation/greenbelt area. With no home immediately behind you, it's a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee, read a book, visit with friends or simply relax and enjoy the Florida weather. And here's one of the biggest advantages: YOU OWN THE LAND—NO LOT RENT! North River Estates is a 55+ community with an HOA of only $125 a month, including lawn maintenance. The community offers a clubhouse, fitness center, pool and an active neighborhood atmosphere, all conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, I-75 and easy access to Sarasota, St. Petersburg and Tampa. THIS HOME DOESN'T NEED TO BE REINVENTED—THE GOOD BONES ARE ALREADY HERE. Bring some elbow grease, fresh paint and your decorating ideas and turn this diamond in the rough into a home you'll be proud of. At $230,000, this is an opportunity for a buyer who can look beyond today's cosmetics and recognize the value and potential underneath. Come take a look, bring your imagination and see what this home can become!
