Property Description

TRUE boating water in Mill Creek! Yes, you can have your boat in your backyard without so much of the traffic and weather exposure of the coastline areas. This high-and-dry home in the east-of-interstate community of Mill Creek is one of only a handful that have true small-craft access to the Manatee River and all the boating attractions beyond – beaches, Gulf of Mexico, fishing – you name it! Straddling almost an acre among old oaks, vibrant palms, fruit trees and a huge community pond in front, this seldom-available waterfront lot combines the best of country living with the boating lifestyle. Soaring ceilings, large kitchen, and open-plan living space are wrapped around a pool and outdoor living area worthy of a resort getaway, with its pavered spa and bar area. The split-bedroom layout gives the owners’ suite plenty of privacy, and the 4th bedroom/3rdbath are ideally situated as a private wing for in-laws, teens, or longer-term guests. Brand-new roof and gutters plus freshly painted exterior promise years of security and trouble-free pleasure. On the inside, the owners added reverse osmosis water treatment in the kitchen and UV air sanitizing for the whole house. And at the back of the lot, past native plantings and your garden shed, is the biggest bonus: 70 feet of waterfront with large dock on the broad waterway leading to the Manatee River. Take in the wildlife from your rocking chair or get busy with your boats. You’ve got miles of water to explore, whether your passion is saltwater to the west or endless freshwater kayaking and canoeing to the east. Mill Creek is close to shopping, restaurants, and medical facilities, and I-75, and just 20 minutes to University Town Center and 30 minutes to Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. There isn’t another one quite like it, so come make 730 137th St NE yours: a special place to come home to for a lifetime!
