Florida, Ranch

Set along the Barnes Parkway inlet directly on Curry Creek, this canalfront residence offers true boating freedom and a waterfront lifestyle that’s increasingly hard to find. Launch from your private dock, cruise beneath the Legacy Trail and US-41/Tamiami Trail, and you’re out into Roberts Bay, with the South Jetty leading straight to the Gulf and no additional bridges beyond US-41. Sunset views, protected mangrove privacy, and direct Gulf access define this exceptional setting on a quiet dead-end street. Positioned at an impressive 11-foot baseline elevation, the property offers rare peace of mind with no HOA, no deed restrictions, and no CDD fees, keeping ownership simple and flexible. Beaches, dining, parks, and golf are all just minutes away, while the private road is maintained by the owners. Offered turnkey furnished with select exclusions (see private remarks), the nearly 1,950-square-foot interior blends timeless mid-century character with thoughtful modern updates. Polished terrazzo floors, expansive windows, and an open, light-filled layout create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The waterfront-view lanai naturally extends the living area, while a covered front porch provides a peaceful place to enjoy sunrises and local birdlife. The bright galley kitchen overlooks the canal and features granite countertops, tile backsplash, painted wood cabinetry, matte black hardware, stainless appliances, a walk-in pantry, built-in USB outlets, and smart storage. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and updated en-suite bath, while two guest bedrooms and a second updated bath provide comfortable accommodations. Set on an almost one-third-acre fully fenced lot, the backyard offers ample room to add a pool and create a private waterfront retreat. The 4' x 20' dock with water and electric accommodates boats up to approximately 25 feet, offers about five feet of clearance at high tide, and has lift potential. Mangrove views provide privacy without obstructing the water view, and a kayak launch is located across the street. Major updates include a new water heater (Jan 2026), septic drainfield (2020), complete cast-iron plumbing replacement under slab (2016), updated electrical (2013), Septic System: New drainfield installed (2022) HVAC: New AC system (2022), R/O water filter at kitchen sink & new garbage disposal (2025) and a 30-year roof replacement (2013). The home has never flooded during the seller’s ownership. Survey and elevation certificate (2015) are attached in MLS. All fencing is owned except the shared south fence.
