Description of Property
<p>Picture this: you’re lounging poolside, shaded by swaying oaks and palms, sunlight dancing on the water, and the peaceful sounds of nature all around you. This isn’t a vacation—it’s your new life at Blue Dolphin Estates, a secluded gem just minutes from Lemon Bay and Manasota Beach where you can kayak to the Gulf from your backyard! <p>Set on over an acre of lush, private land, this Cape Cod-style waterfront retreat combines timeless elegance with modern upgrades—including a 2021 roof and resurfaced Pebble-Tec pool—all meticulously maintained and ready for you to move in and start living. <p>From the moment you pull into the circular driveway, you’ll feel the warmth of a home built for both comfort and connection. Step inside the welcoming living room, where a wood-burning fireplace, vaulted wood ceilings, and a sun-soaked bay window set the tone for relaxed luxury. The family room and dry bar create the perfect setup for entertaining, whether you’re hosting game night or a quiet evening with friends. <p>The kitchen is a true standout—featuring granite countertops, custom soft-close cabinetry, double wall ovens, a coffee bar or built-in desk, and a walk-in pantry to keep everything in its place. Share meals in the formal dining room or enjoy everyday moments in the cozy dinette overlooking your private backyard retreat. <p>Downstairs, a guest bedroom offers the perfect flex space—office, studio, or private hideaway—along with a guest bath with granite counters and pool access. Upstairs, two bright guest rooms and another full bath provide plenty of room for visitors or family. <p>The primary suite is your personal sanctuary. Stretch out in your expansive bedroom, enjoy the luxury of a spa-like bathroom with dual sinks, garden tub, makeup vanity, and rain shower—and don’t miss the huge walk-in closet. Step out onto your private full-length balcony to take in sweeping views of your pool, canal, and lush backyard. <p>Craving fresh air? The screened lanai is ideal for quiet mornings with coffee or late-night chats under the stars. Cool off in the 8-foot-deep pool, then launch a kayak from your own backyard to explore Dale Lake, Lemon Bay, and the Gulf. A spacious shed keeps your gear tucked away and ready for your next adventure. <p>Love the outdoors? You’re just a 1.5-mile walk or bike ride from Manasota Beach and only steps from Manasota Scrub Nature Preserve. Whether it's golfing, exploring local shops and markets, or dining on the water, everything you love about Florida is within easy reach—including Dearborn Street, Venice Island, and Wellen Park. <p>This is the one that blends natural beauty, privacy, and waterfront living in a way few homes can. Schedule your private tour today and make this peaceful retreat your forever escape.
