8714 King Street, PLACIDA

This lovely home is located on Little Gasparilla Island, a bridgeless barrier island off the coast of the Cape Haze Peninsula and is only accessible by private boat or water taxi. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to get away, you need to come see the island. This home, which is only a few steps away from the beach, has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, with metal roof, has a new stove, refrigerator, washer, dryer, stairs, decking, outdoor shower, and storage/laundry room. In March of 2023 the soffits of plywood and Hardie board, the flashing, and the fascia were all replaced. A couple of years back the home was refreshed with new siding, impact windows and doors, luxury vinyl flooring, and interior painting, just to mention a few things. The a/c is approximately 6 years old and when installed it was coated with a corrosion barrier. The a/c is on a maintenance program with a local company and has been well maintained. The home was treated for termites in 2016 and is in a preventative maintenance program that is monitored several times a year and has a termite bond that is assumable. Beautiful panoramic views of the blue-green gulf waters can be seen from the primary bedroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, and the large front deck. On the front deck you can sit and relax the day away or after you’ve watched the sun set on the day, sit in the warm gulf breeze and watch the stars. Little Gasparilla Island doesn’t have any grocery stores, restaurants, or shops but we have 3 ½ miles of uncrowded beach to wander on and collect seashells and shark’s teeth, swim, or sit with a good book and soak up the sun. There is great fishing in the surrounding waters for redfish, snook, snapper, trout and more. There are sandy trails to drive your golf cart around on and meet all the friendly neighbors. The community dock was damaged from the recent hurricanes and the dock association is in the process of securing a contractor to rebuild the dock. The seller has paid their assessment for the dock repairs. Make an appointment to come to see this island paradise home today.
