Welcome to Crooked Coconut-a rare waterfront treasure in historic Cortez Village! Set along the beautiful shores of Sarasota Bay in Florida’s oldest fishing village, Crooked Coconut is one of the village's original homes! Truly a special piece of Old Florida history. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on an expansive bayfront lot, offering a wonderful blend of privacy, character, and laid-back coastal living. Step inside and feel the warmth and charm that make this home so special. Thoughtfully redecorated with a fresh, relaxed feel, the interior beautifully blends historic character with modern comfort. The welcoming foyer features a cozy sitting area perfect for morning coffee along with a dedicated workspace where you can catch up on emails before heading out to enjoy the Florida sunshine. The spacious living room, complete with a fireplace, offers plenty of room to gather with family and friends for movie nights, game days, and memorable evenings together. Throughout the home, light tan herringbone flooring adds a fresh, timeless touch. The split-bedroom floor plan offers privacy and comfort, with the primary suite tucked away on the west side of the home. A built-in closet with custom shelving provides plenty of space for your coastal wardrobe, while the ensuite bathroom features classic penny tile and a walk-in shower. Just beyond, the laundry room includes a brand-new stackable washer and dryer, along with generous storage space. Two additional bedrooms are situated just off the main living area and share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom, making the layout ideal for family and guests. At the heart of the home, the beautifully updated kitchen strikes the perfect balance between modern convenience and cottage charm, highlighted by an exposed and refreshed area of the home's original wall. New stainless-steel GE Profile appliances, a casual seating area for gathering over snacks and conversation, and a spacious new dining table with seating for eight make entertaining feel effortless. Windows throughout the home invite in abundant natural light, creating a bright, warm, and welcoming atmosphere. Step outside to the large covered porch, where comfortable Windward furnishings set the scene for afternoon lounging, sunset cocktails, and easygoing happy hours. Beyond, your own private tropical retreat awaits. Installed just a year ago, the expansive resort-style pool and hot tub are surrounded by inviting seating areas, a sun shelf perfect for soaking up the rays, and a striking sandstone waterfall feature. When it's time to escape the sunshine, head to the outdoor bar for a little chilling and grilling. With an outdoor comfort station nearby, plus a shed for added convenience, the backyard is designed for enjoying the Florida lifestyle from morning until night. And the best part? You're right in the heart of Cortez Village, with local fresh seafood spots just around the corner and the newly redone dock ready for fishing, waterfront relaxation, and taking in the beauty of Sarasota Bay.
