710 NW 36th Avenue $597,000

Value! You won’t find a better Gulf-access pool home at this price with such easy access to the Gulf, located just south of Tropicana Parkway. If you’re unfamiliar with the area, simply drive along Old Burnt Store Road to the second bridge, which crosses the Bonefish Canal, nestled between Tropicana Park and West Cape Estates. This home boasts desirable western exposure, offering warm pool temperatures and stunning sunset views. It sits on a wide 140-foot canal, providing both a peaceful water view and added privacy from neighbors. The neighborhood is highly walkable, and the new Tropicana Waterfront Park is currently under construction nearby. The roof and mechanical systems are in good condition, and with just a few cosmetic updates, this home could truly be a gem. Notable features include a tray ceiling in the owner's suite, and while the hurricane shutters are currently up due to the owner's physical limitations, they are in place. The dock comes equipped with an 8,000-pound boat lift and composite decking installed in 2019. The home has never flooded and features an open floor plan that maximizes space, making it feel even larger than its square footage. Recent updates include a new well pump (2024), a deep 270-foot well, septic service in 2022, a hot water heater installed in 2022, and a Manabloc plumbing system for easy water control. The roof was replaced in 2020, and added insulation contributes to impressively low electric bills—typically around $60 in winter and $120 in summer. Truly amazing value for waterfront living!
