Charming Island Home in a Fruit Tree Orchard

2BR/2BA, R-2 Zoning, Eligible for Boat Slip

This charming Florida-style bungalow in Holmes Beach has more than a dozen fruit trees on site, to keep you in citrus nearly all year long! And out front, one of the best Royal Poinciana trees on the Island will fill your view with brilliant blossoms each spring and graceful branches against the bright blue sky during the winter. Inside, the classic two-bedroom, two-bath layout features a nice living area (don’t mind the big desk), and updated kitchen with excellent solid-wood cabinets, extra storage and solid countertops. The adjacent family/Florida Room/lanai opens to a back-yard full of fruit: Valencia and navel oranges, Honeybells, tangerines, lemons and limes and – of course – a ruby red grapefruit. There’s also a screened porch, a shade-covered patio, outdoor shower, firepit, and plenty of room for a pool. The master bedroom has ensuite bath with shower, and the second bedroom is good sized, close to the second bathroom. Low maintenance Mexican tile runs throughout the house, and there’s a tidy one-car garage. The owner has enjoyed living near the beach and close to the bay, but grandchildren are encouraging him to move off the island. An owner may qualify for a low-cost boat slip lease provided by the City of Holmes Beach at the nearby T-head marina. This property is zoned for weekly rental.
