Description of Property
GULF ACCESS & IMMEDIATE ROI! This canalfront gem blends mid-century charm with modern upgrades in a prime Nokomis waterfront location—offering direct Gulf access with just one bridge under US-41. Situated at an impressive 11-ft base elevation with no HOA, deed restrictions, or fees, 603 Barnes is a rare, low-operating cost opportunity delivering exceptional rental income and lifestyle perks, should that be the reason to acquire this home. Located on a quiet dead-end street, you're just minutes from beaches, restaurants, parks, and golf. Room for a pool. Turnkey furnished as seen—ready to enjoy or rent immediately; down to the linens and accoutrements. Inside, original polished and impeccable terrazzo floors and large windows flood the nearly 2,000 sq ft of living space with natural light. The open layout flows into a waterfront-view lanai currently used as a dining room, while a covered front patio adds even more outdoor enjoyment. The backyard is fully fenced and offers ample room for a pool to elevate your private retreat. Whether you're sipping morning coffee or winding down at sunset, every corner of this home captures the serenity of its canalfront setting. The open and spacious galley kitchen overlooks the canal and features granite counters, tile backsplash, painted wood cabinetry, matte black hardware, and stainless steel appliances—Samsung range, microwave, and fridge, plus a GE dishwasher. Unlike many galley kitchens, this one is open and bright. A walk-in pantry and modern touches like built-in USB outlets offer convenience and style. Your kitchen and overflow space is not only functional but a natural gathering point for entertaining or relaxing with loved ones. Stepping into your generously sized primary suite, it includes a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with designer wallpaper, decorative tile, and an upgraded vanity. Guest rooms are equally generous, including one with a walk-in closet and built-ins. The second bathroom features granite, mosaic tile, a shower/tub combo, and a large frosted glass window for natural light and privacy. The 0.27-acre lot boasts a 4’ x 20’ dock with water and electric, ideal for boats up to 25’ with ~5’ clearance at high tide—ready for a lift if desired. Enjoy mangrove views that offer privacy and a rich natural setting without blocking your water view. The fencing includes PVC in front for privacy and black chain-link at the rear for unobstructed scenery. Major updates ensure low maintenance and reduced costs: new AC (2022), cast iron plumbing replaced (2016), updated electrical (2013), roof with 30-year shingles (2013), and septic drainfield (2022). The oversized 8’ x 10’ laundry room includes storage cabinetry and a dedicated AC closet. Behind the garage door, discover tucked-away bike and kayak storage—perfect for an active Florida lifestyle. Currently a successful Airbnb averaging $103K/year in gross income, this property offers a rare combination of coastal living, smart investment, and low ownership costs. Whether you're seeking a second home, snowbird escape, or high-performing income generator, this canalfront treasure is ready to deliver. NO flooding or storm damage. Minutes to Nokomis Beach, North Jetty, Oscar Scherer State Park, and the vibrant cultural, dining, and entertainment scenes of Venice and Sarasota.
