Exceptional value at $279,000! Offering nearly 2,000 square feet of living space, NO HOA, Flood Zone X, a 2-car garage and a large 10,000-square-foot lot, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath concrete-block home delivers an outstanding combination of space, flexibility and location. Peaceful, spacious and full of possibilities, the home features an open kitchen with an exceptionally large breakfast bar and generous seating, creating an inviting space for everyday living, entertaining and gathering. Vaulted ceilings enhance the main living areas and add to the home's open, comfortable feel. Two light-filled alcoves near the entry provide valuable additional space for home offices, formal dining, reading areas, a playroom or creative studio, with potential for future enclosure subject to applicable planning and permitting. The primary suite is privately positioned, while the two additional bedrooms are comfortably sized and well proportioned. Hurricane shutters provide added protection, while the private well and septic system eliminate monthly municipal water and sewer charges. Outside, the spacious backyard is highlighted by a magnificent mature oak tree that provides shade, character and a peaceful setting for a hammock, garden seating, recreation or quiet afternoons outdoors. The location offers the best of both worlds-a quiet residential setting away from the busier sections of North Port, yet convenient to Sumter Boulevard shopping, I-75 and the developing Sarasota Memorial Hospital-North Port campus. The Sumter Boulevard interchange provides easy access to Venice, Sarasota, area employment centers and Gulf beaches. Nearly 2,000 square feet, NO HOA, Flood Zone X and a $279,000 asking price, this home offers exceptional value for buyers looking for space, flexibility and long-term potential in North Port.
