Welcome to the Southern End of Manasota Key! A classic old Florida beach cottage, sitting on one and a half lots with plenty of parking, room for your RV, or ample space for expansion. Enjoy this premier location and imagine the short thirty steps to the beach or sit back and watch the sunset from your living room or front deck. These 75 year-old concrete "bunkers" have stood the test of time and received minimal damage from Hurricane Ian. The professionally decorated bungalow is being offered turnkey, and the current owners have spared no expense in the furnishings and remodel of this great beach opportunity. A second bath, if desired, has been estimated by a contractor and can be permitted and added by Seller for those needing two baths. It is also a short ½ mile walk to the White Elephant Pub, Sandbar Tiki and Grill, Lock N Key, Waverly Restaurant and Bar, and Manasota Key’s newest and best dining experience, Magnolias! 45 Friendship Lane is not just a great location, but it is a great way of life – great privacy, great neighbors, and one of the best shelling, shark tooth hunting, dolphin watching opportunities in Southwest Florida. 1158 square feet of newly conditioned interior living area with (4) new efficient mini split hvac units! Two bedrooms/one bath, but with daybed and trundle in the living area, the home comfortably sleeps six. The outdoor shower in the fenced back yard and deck also adds comfort and plenty of room for your guests. The rear decks feature new 25 year warranty composite decking. You will also enjoy the very open floor plan with oversized kitchen and new blue quartz tops. Rarely do you find Gulf Views out the front and also a private fenced back yard and additional storage shed, grill, and outdoor dining in the rear. Manasota Key is for you…especially the Southern End – you will not find a more relaxed, convenient, peaceful way of life turnkey home for this pricing.
