Gulf-Access Waterfront Retreat – 6540 Marius Rd, North Port, FL Discover laid-back Florida living in this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath canal-front home with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico—just a leisurely 45-minute boat ride to Port Charlotte. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or a property with rental potential, this home delivers comfort, location, and lifestyle. Inside, the open-concept design seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and entry, creating a bright and welcoming space. A stunning 10-foot sliding glass door frames the perfect view of the canal, bringing in natural light and offering a daily reminder of the peaceful surroundings. The kitchen provides ample storage and comes equipped with a refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher. Just off the living area, enjoy both a spacious covered lanai for entertaining and a second screened lanai for quiet mornings or breezy evenings. The recently rebuilt dock (2024) features power, water, tie-ups, and davits (in need of minor repair), making it easy to embrace waterfront living. Manatees often pass by, and the sunsets over the water are truly sensational. Major updates include a new outside AC unit in 2024 and a durable metal roof installed in 2006. The washer and dryer are conveniently located in the carport. Set on nearly a quarter acre, there's plenty of room for all your toys—whether it's an RV, boat, work truck, or jet skis—and with no HOA, you’re free to live as you please. The home was used as a vacation retreat and is available fully furnished or can be cleared to your preference. The location is just as special as the home itself. Warm Mineral Springs, known for its natural healing waters once enjoyed by movie stars, is just minutes away. Nearby attractions include white-sand beaches, historic Ringling Bros Circus Estates, the Tampa Aquarium, casinos, shopping centers, concert arenas, and some of the best dining around. You’ll find no shortage of activities with professional baseball training facilities, pickleball and sports complexes, boat launches, and tiki bars dotting the area. Best of all, you'll love the welcoming neighborhood, where friendly locals gather for happy hour at 5 p.m. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Come experience the magic of 6540 Marius Rd and make waterfront living your everyday reality.
