13 62nd St, Yankeetown, FL 34498

Dear old Yankeetown, a Florida West coast time-capsule. Main street lined with live oaks, adorned with grey beards of Spanish moss wave in the breeze coming off the river. It’s idyllic, it’s rare. And here we have a move-in-ready cottage, for sale by owner, close to all that makes Yankeetown unique. A block from the Blackwater Grill (formerly Isaac Waltons) and afternoon cocktails overlooking the river or a meal from the premium selection on the menu. The Withlacoochee River offers boating, kayaking and plenty of fishing opportunities; a community boat launch and Yankeetown marina are so very close by… And then, also, there is and Bird Key boat slip about 4 miles drive through a beautiful estuary that gives access directly into the gulf. This colorful FSBO is situated on two parcels, thus allowing plenty of space to park a boat, or an RV as well as your regular vehicles. Maybe this cottage, with its new shiny metal roof, looks small, but it rambles, providing 1500 sq ft of surprising and cleverly designed floor plan. Through a new glass front door, enter into a foyer with large windows making a comfortable southern style seating area. Continue through a doorway into a vaulted ceiling living area with lighted alcoves. Glance over the beautiful wood grain butcher-block counter into the practical design of the kitchen; pristine new cabinetry and appliances; stove, washer-dryer, fridge/freezer microwave. A glass sliding pocket door allows egress from the kitchen into an all-season room with views into the shaded backyard where hours could be enjoyed watching the red cardinals, woodpeckers and flocks of butterflies. Large windows and a fireplace, make this room an outside-inside kind of space. Then, discreetly off to the side, through another door, yet another surprise; office space or bedroom maybe so this would allow this cottage to be considered as have two, possibly three bedrooms. New dark laminate flooring, new carpet in the two main bedrooms, new ceiling fans, new fresh paint. Both bathrooms elegant and cool with fresh new tile and fixtures. Now let’s go back outside. Florida; you want to be outside. From the air-conditioned all-season room, a door allows access to the deck, bbq/outside seating area and good-sized tool-shed/workshop. This cottage is a destination, it’s interesting and inspiring. It’s a fun place to be in. There are nooks and crannies and surprise spaces.
