Welcome to Crooked Coconut! A VERY rarely for sale amazing historic home on Sarasota Bay in the oldest fishing village in the state of Florida, Cortez Village. One of the original homes in the village! The interior of this super cool historic home is newly decorated and put together with love and fresh feel you will love. Crooked Coconut is a 3 bedroom 2 bath home that sits on a huge bay front lot. Tucked back on a dead end street in the village that gives you the privacy you are looking for when you live or just vacation in Florida. Walk into the home and you are immediately taken over with the feel of coziness and character. the Foyer is equipped with a sitting area for morning coffee and a good book as well as an area for work if you need. Get the days emails done at a desk with lots of room. The large living room has a fireplace and room for everyone to enjoy the game or a good movie for family time. The newly done floors are a light tan herringbone and gives the home a beautiful feel throughout. With a split bedroom design, the Primary bedroom is on the West side of the home as you walk through the hall way giving you tons of privacy. A built in closet with built in shelves is perfect for your summer wardrobe collection. Continue on to the primary bathroom with a black and white penny tile and walk in shower. Just off this bathroom you will find the laundry room with brand new stackable washer and dryer and a large closet for storage or turn it into a wine cellar! The other two bedrooms are just off the large living room and have a jack and Jill bathroom for them both. The beautifully done kitchen has just the right touch of modern and cottage feel to it with one of the original walls of the cottage exposed and redone. All the appliances are new stainless GE profile. There is a seating area for snacks and chatting while cooking and a large brand new table for 8. With windows throughout the home, the natural light brings in warmth and excellent lighting. Just off the kitchen is a large covered porch with comfy Windward furniture for hanging out for happy hour or just getting out of the sunshine for a bit. From the back porch you will be engulfed by the massive resort style pool and hotter that was just installed a year ago. There is seating in every corner of the pool and a large sand stone waterfall feature. Soak up the sun on the sun ledge of the pool or escape to the outdoor bar area for chilling and grilling. With an outdoor comfort station just off the bar and shed, you'll be able to literally live outside. Head out to dinner at any of the local fresh fish joints right next door and don't forget to bring a fishing pole to hang out on your newly redone dock. The guests who have stayed come back over and over! You just won't be able to not fall in love with Crooked Coconut. It's a generational home full of history and stories waiting for you to love.
