Coastal Vintage Meets Modern Farmhouse in The Inlets. Set along the protected Grand Canal, this custom waterfront home blends timeless character and warm architectural detail with protected deep-water dockage and easy access to the Manatee River, Intracoastal Waterway, and Gulf. Every space is designed to embrace the beauty and ease of Florida waterfront living. Step inside to soaring 20-foot ceilings and a light-filled great room, where disappearing walls of glass blur the line between indoors and out. Massive reclaimed wood barn doors add warmth and privacy while framing peaceful water views beyond. The open floor plan centers on a beautifully appointed kitchen: a generous island, distressed wood cabinetry with pull-outs and glass mullion doors, granite counters, stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry, all flowing naturally to the outdoor living space. A secluded first-floor primary suite offers a quiet retreat with generous closets and bath, while a private den with custom built-ins and an additional guest suite with updated pool bath round out the first floor. Upstairs, an open loft, two guest bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a bonus/media room give family and guests room to spread out. Open the glass walls to a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, wall mounted TV, heated pool & spa, and brick paver lanai, the ideal setting to entertain or unwind after a day on the water. Beyond the lanai, your boat waits just steps away for a sunset cruise, a morning of fishing, or dinner at a nearby waterfront restaurant. Rich wood flooring, a distinctive brick kitchen floor, plantation shutters, crown molding, and designer lighting round out the home's character, backed by recent updates including fresh exterior paint, a 2020 shingle roof, and updated A/C systems. Life in The Inlets extends well past the front door: morning walks along nature trails, an afternoon paddle from the community's canoe and kayak launch, and a match on the racquet courts, all just a short walk away, or catching up with neighbors at a community social. With low HOA fees, no CDD fees, and quick access to I-75, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, shopping, dining, airports, and Gulf beaches, it's a lifestyle that's easy to enjoy every day.
