10549 WASHINGTON ROAD Location! Location! Location! This house sits on a beautiful tip lot with 167' frontage on the extra wide Santa Cruz Waterway with a preserve of trees beyond for a completely natural view. Hard to see any neighbors while sitting on the pool lanai, for extra privacy. Two different docks, one has a 10k power boat lift, the other is perfect for a sailboat. No bridges, direct out through the neighborhood lagoon and protected lock system, with easy boating up two different fresh water rivers, explore the wide estuary of Gasparilla Sound, and then boat up/down the ICW or beyond the barrier islands to the Gulf of Mexico. Perfect boating property. The house itself is older, but well maintained with so many recent updates you won't have any worries for quite awhile. New roof, shed, A/C, pool pump, irrigation pump. High elevation and the protective lock system protects the property from storm surges. With a beautiful Owner's suite on one side of the house, with sliders to the pool lanai and an ensuite bath with dual vanities, a tub and walk-in shower. The other 2 guest bedrooms are on the other side of the house with a shared bathroom with hall access to the pool lanai. The oak kitchen has tons of open counter prep space, a walk-in pantry, and a breakfast bar. The often-accessed refrigerator is set outside the main flow of the kitchen. Walls of glass open for an easy indoor/outdoor lifestyle with the best view in the neighborhood.
