Enjoy the home yourself, generate seasonal income, or do both. This thoughtfully updated turnkey furnished 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers the flexibility today's buyers are looking for. A welcoming front screened porch and an enclosed four-season side lanai provide multiple living spaces, with the lanai easily functioning as a private guest sleeping area when needed. Inside, the bright living area features premium top-down/bottom-up cellular shades that provide abundant natural light while maintaining privacy. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite countertops, a center island, soft-close cabinetry with convenient pull-out drawers, and thoughtful finishes throughout. The adjoining dining area features an impressive bank of pantry cabinets, offering exceptional storage rarely found in homes of this size. Additional highlights include inside laundry, abundant storage throughout the home, a covered back porch, storage shed, and covered carport. An established seasonal rental adds even more appeal.

The tenant has a proven history of taking excellent care of the property, providing immediate seasonal income for the new owner.

Located in Trailer Estates, a Special Park and Recreation District governed under Chapter 418, Florida Statutes, residents own their land, meaning no lot rent, CDD, or HOA fees. The annual park tax covers cable, high-speed internet, trash pickup, fire and rescue services, and access to outstanding amenities including a marina with rentable boat slips, private beach, pool, hot tub, fitness center, shuffleboard, bocce ball, pickleball, woodshop, and nearly 60 active clubs and social events.
