Peaceful canal living, sunset skies, summer rainbows, and easy boating access to the Myakka River and beyond create a lifestyle that feels like a hidden Florida retreat. This move-in ready concrete block waterfront home offers impact windows, a 2023 metal roof, blown-in attic insulation, newer interior and exterior paint, designer light fixtures, and the option to purchase furnished for added convenience. Charming curb appeal welcomes you with an extra-large driveway and walkway leading to an oversized screened porch with newer double front doors. Mature landscaping, lemon trees, orange trees, dragon fruit plantings, and areca palm hedges are scattered throughout the property, adding tropical character and privacy. Originally designed for an artist, the home was positioned true north on the lot to maximize natural light throughout the day and create a unique living environment. Inside, the great room features soaring vaulted ceilings, a bay-style wall with a large window, and wood-look ceramic tile flooring throughout. The kitchen has both function and entertaining in mind, offering stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, rich cherry wood cabinetry with slow-close features, tile backsplash, pantry storage, built-in microwave, and an oversized island with breakfast bar seating, a cooktop with overhead hood vent, and cabinetry on both sides providing exceptional prep space and storage. The spacious primary suite offers tall ceilings, a large bank of windows allowing abundant natural light, a walk-in closet, and en-suite bathroom with granite countertops, cherry cabinetry with slow-close features, single vanity, and walk-in shower. The guest suite offers a reach-in closet, sliding glass doors leading to the lanai, and a bathroom with granite countertops, single vanity, tub and shower combination, pocket door, and matching cherry cabinetry with slow-close features. The attached garage includes its own mini-split air conditioning system, 50 amp RV outlet, and epoxy flooring, creating a comfortable and versatile space for projects, storage, hobbies, or additional workspace needs. Outdoor living continues with a spacious screened lanai overlooking the canal, while the open-air concrete patio offers space for a future outdoor kitchen or spa. A mature oak tree in the backyard creates a shaded space to relax or cast a fishing line. At the canal you'll find a concrete seawall, private dock with fish cleaning station, and 8,000-pound remote-controlled boat lift already in place, making it easy to cruise the Myakka River toward Charlotte Harbor and Gulf waters for fishing, waterfront dining, or afternoons anchored at nearby sandbars enjoying the saltwater. Gulf Cove offers a voluntary HOA with a low annual fee, community parks, playgrounds, pavilions, riverfront seating, and the option for private boat ramp access. Restaurants, shopping, medical facilities, golf courses, nature parks, and two Major League Baseball spring training stadiums are nearby. Come experience life at 2532 Dixon Terrace, where boating, fishing, and waterfront living become part of everyday life.
