The community provides everything you need for a relaxing and peaceful getaway and a true fisherman's paradise. Bring your fishing poles, boat, kayak, or canoe as the community has access to the river. You can enjoy endless water views, birds, and wildlife from your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd story balconies, and every room in the house offers a very pleasant natural view of the two rivers, aquatic wildlife, and mangroves.

The first floor features an oversized 1-car garage with room for a golf cart or smaller 2nd car and a non-conforming bonus room with
built-in cabinets and a private bathroom. French doors lead you to your private 16x13 patio overlooking the water and mature landscaping.

The 2nd floor offers an open kitchen with wood cabinetry and granite counters, a breakfast bar, and room for an eat-in kitchen or dining room space. The home has 10 ft ceilings throughout, plenty of windows for natural light, recessed lighting, and French doors leading to either the front patio or rear patio, both offering views of the Manatee River. There is also a 1/2 bathroom on this level, and the 2nd level is entirely tiled throughout. The kitchen flows into the living room for a great entertaining space.

The 3rd floor, also with 10 ft ceilings, offers 2 bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. French doors in each bedroom lead out to the bedroom's private balcony with water views. The 2nd bedroom has a tub/shower combo and a single vanity, and the primary bedroom bathroom has dual sinks and a large glass-enclosed shower. The washer and dryer are also on the 3rd floor for easy access.

The seller is providing buyers with a 1-year home warranty through American Home Shield, and the community has a large open natural area that is ideal for walking, exercising, pets, or just some private time. This area also offers space for big toys and extra visitor parking. Owners have put private sheds in the common areas for additional storage. Buyers can purchase a boat slip from the current owner for an additional fee outside of the purchase price or can apply to build another slip instead. The private pier/dock is a great amenity for residents and guests, whether it is used for sitting and gazing or kayaking and boating locally, or navigating out to the Gulf and islands.

The seller is also including 1 storage shed with the purchase for additional storage. The Walker Island community is conveniently located close to all the goods and services a family needs. As traffic has increasingly become an issue in most communities in Florida, Walker Island is a short drive to grocery stores, professional services, schools, mechanics, and the major highways to access other areas and airports. The Gulf of Mexico and beaches are also only a half-hour drive from the property
