Located in the popular Fossil Park Neighborhood, this home is a diamond in the rough. It has great "bones" and with over 1700 heated square feet, it could become a sparkling jewel with updates and TLC. There are two bedrooms, one bath and a family room in the main part of the home; a large living/dining room and one bedroom, one bath in the addition. So many possibilities! So much potential! This is a perfect home for a family that would love to live together and yet have complete privacy from each other. There is a separate entrance for the in-law suite and its own little patio. The main home has terrazzo floors throughout; the in-law suite has laminate flooring. There are no kitchen appliances in the addition; however, they can be placed into the kitchen area, it's all ready and waiting (note: range would need appropriate wiring to be installed, 220 outlet). There is central heat and air in the large bedroom of the addition plus a wall unit in the kitchen/living room area. Eat-in kitchen is in the main part of the home. The family room is off the kitchen and could possibly be a 4th bedroom (that would make 3 bedrooms in the main part of the home). There are 3 open patios in total; west side, east side (by the addition) and front. There are two water heaters; one in the laundry room, the other in the addition under the kitchen sink. In the laundry room you will find a washer for the new owner. The dryer is inoperable and will be removed. Parking no issue with a driveway right in front and parking on the street. From your living room, you can enjoy the view of the canal that travels all the way down 77th Ave. The shingle roof was installed in 2000; the flat roof over the addition was installed in 2010. The HVAC system is about 4 years old or so per the Seller. In the yard are two storage sheds for your extra stuff. The fenced yard is large (75X127) with alley access and driveway gates. Have that pool installed and enjoy Florida living; lots of room in this backyard. The location of this home is absolutely perfect. You can walk to Gateway Mall where you can shop, bank, and dine. Just a few blocks to the North Branch Library, grab a book and head to Fossil Park where you can read or walk the jogging trail. Fabulous play area with swings and slides plus pool, tennis courts, recreation center and so much more available to you at Fossil Park. If you are hungry, try one of the many fabulous restaurants on the 4th Street Corridor. And our wonderful and thriving downtown is about a 15 minute drive where you can enjoy the many restaurants, sporting events, theatre, museums, nightlife and more. Take a walk along our beautiful waterfront and watch a sunset. And don't forget the Pier; you can walk right to Doc Ford's Restaurant and enjoy a cocktail or two. There is so much to see and do. Easy access to the bridges. If you love nature, and who doesn't, you can visit our Weedon Isle Preserve which boasts boardwalks, trails, birdwatching, a paddling launch for your kayak and fishing. Feel a little daring?? Then hop on the Gandy Bridge and take a 20-25 minutes drive to the Hard Rock Casino; you might just get lucky. This home offers so much to its new owners; separate living area for you and a place for your family members. Don't delay, call for your appointment to see this Fossil Park Diamond in the Rough!
