This 3 bedroom, 2 bath pool home has the charm of a Florida cottage and the kind of space, character and freedom that is getting harder to find, with NO HOA, an oversized lot with a fully fenced yard and a 472 square foot workshop, all conveniently located in Nokomis between Sarasota and Venice. It is the kind of place where the workshop is waiting when inspiration hits, afternoons slip away by the pool and every day feels like a little getaway.
Inside, the split floor plan gives the primary suite separation from the second and third bedrooms while keeping the home easy and connected. The kitchen work completed in 2023 included tile flooring, backsplash, custom butcher block countertops and a dry bar, giving the space warmth and character that fits the Florida cottage feel. The primary bedroom features luxury vinyl plank flooring, trim molding, a smart fan/light and a walk-in closet. The ensuite includes tile flooring, a tiled shower and wall surround, vanity, fixtures and hardware. The second and third bedrooms and guest bath also received improvements, and the bonus room gives you another place to show your own style, whether that means a home office, guest space, reading room, craft room or something entirely your own.
Then there is the workshop. This is not just extra storage. The detached concrete workshop has power, a roll-up door and a separate door to the fenced backyard, giving you real space for hobbies, tools, equipment and projects. For buyers who have ever wished for room to actually do the things they enjoy, this may be one of the features they love most about the property.
Once you walk into the backyard, you may not want to leave. The large private pool was resurfaced in 2022 and retiled in 2025, with plenty of surrounding space for lounging, entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet Florida afternoon. The 6 foot fence creates privacy, while tropical landscaping and fruit-producing trees make the space feel lush and lived in, including a lime tree now producing fresh limes. The outdoor shower is perfect after a swim or a day at the beach, and a repaired well pump supplies a dedicated hose near the pool with well water for landscaping and plants.
This home also has plenty of substance behind the charm. It sits in Flood Zone X, and a 24-gauge metal roof with hurricane straps was installed in 2022. Most windows are impact rated, the remaining three already on site. The 5 ton HVAC system with UV light and replacement ductwork dates to 2020. Septic components, including the tank, leach field and lift station, were replaced in 2019, and the system was most recently serviced in July 2026. A 50 amp whole house generator outlet was added in 2024, and the backyard fence was re-stained in 2025.
From here, the beach is never far. Nokomis Beach and the Legacy Trail are each approximately 3 miles away, Oscar Scherer State Park is about 5 miles away, and Downtown Venice is approximately 5.6 miles from home. Sarasota, Siesta Key and the rest of Sarasota County's Gulf Coast beaches are also within easy reach, along with golf, boating, dining and shopping.
This is the kind of home that lets you bring your own style to it. Fill the workshop with the projects you have been waiting to start, turn the bonus room into the space you actually need, plant more, entertain more, spend more time outside and enjoy the freedom to use your home your way.
