9594 Doubloon Trail, PLACIDA

Two homes in one. That’s right, two in one; first level is 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and the second level is 2 bedrooms, 2 bath. This lovely home is located on Little Gasparilla Island, a bridgeless barrier island off the coast of the Cape Haze Peninsula and is only accessible by private boat or water taxi, just a short 10-minute ride across the bay. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to get away, you need to come see the island and feel the stress of the mainland start to slip off your shoulders. The home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Gaspar’s Hideaway where you have docking for your boat and beach access. The HOA fee is $650 a year. The first level of the home has a roomy kitchen with custom wood cabinets and plenty of storage, granite countertops, breakfast bar, and sliding glass doors that open onto a large deck with outside kitchen and grilling area. The living room, dining room, and kitchen areas have waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring. The full bathroom has been updated with a new toilet, vanity, and the walk-in shower has new tiles and flooring. You can enter the garage from this level where the washer and dryer hookups are located. The garage is large enough for a washer/dryer, your golf cart, beach toys, fishing tackle, and it has built-in storage compartments for tools, paints and more. On the upper level when you enter you have a lovely entry foyer, and the staircase leads to the large living room, with fireplace, built-in shelving unit, and French doors that lead out to the screened in lanai. You’ll be wowed by the beautiful high volumed wood ceilings throughout the living room and kitchen. The kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, spacious walk-in pantry with stack, front load, washer and dryer and the dining room is off the kitchen. The guest bedroom has ample closet space and high ceilings. The hall bath has double sink vanity, built in linen closet and high ceilings. The primary bedroom has a large walk-in closet, and high ceilings, the ensuite bathroom has a walk-in shower with bench seating and glass front, and double sink vanity. The home has a new metal roof, new vinyl siding, freshly painted inside both levels, and new flooring throughout. Little Gasparilla Island doesn’t have any grocery stores, restaurants, or shops but we have 3 ½ miles of uncrowded beach to wander on and collect seashells and shark’s teeth, swim, or sit with a good book and soak up the sun. There is great fishing in the surrounding waters for redfish, snook, snapper, trout and more. By water there are many wonderful restaurants to cruise to. Then at the end of the day meet your friendly neighbors at the water's edge to watch the sun set on another blissful day in paradise. Come and see this lovely home and all it has and find out what it’s like to live on island time.
