About this home

One or more photo(s) virtually staged. Enjoy 2-minute, bridge-free access to the open Gulf from this waterfront cul-de-sac retreat, complete with a 10,000-lb boat lift and $5,000 in seller concessions toward buyer closing costs or a rate buydown with a full-price offer! Situated on 59 feet of saltwater canal frontage in Hudson Beach, this boater’s paradise also includes a jet ski lift and a floating dock, letting you cast for redfish, snook, and snapper right from your backyard or cruise to Anclote Key Sandbar before your coffee gets cold. Step inside this bright, fully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom coastal home—updated from top to bottom in 2024 with all permits in place. Modern tile flooring flows throughout the open layout, leading into a brand-new kitchen outfitted with soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, and all-new appliances. Both bedrooms are generously sized, and both bathrooms have been tastefully modernized with contemporary finishes. Plus, the spacious enclosed Florida room overlooks the canal where you can watch local dolphins cruise by, and could easily be converted into a 3rd bedroom, home office, or a room for extra guests. Built for comfort and peace of mind, major upgrades include a 2024 AC, a newer water heater, impact-resistant hurricane windows (excluding the Florida room), and a 2018 roof. Step out onto the back patio—already prewired for a hot tub—or take advantage of the spacious, extended 1-car garage and classic circular driveway for effortless guest and trailer parking. Located in the golf cart-friendly community of Hudson Beach with no HOA and no rental restrictions (beyond county guidelines), this property shines as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or income-producing vacation rental. Tiki bars, waterfront restaurants, marinas, and a public boat ramp are just a 5-minute golf cart ride away, while US-19 and the Suncoast Parkway provide easy access to shopping, medical facilities, and Tampa International Airport.
