Welcome to a waterfront lifestyle that feels like a permanent vacation. Set on nearly a half-acre along boatable Shakett Creek, this Arthur Rutenberg home captures the essence of Nokomis living with peaceful water views, unmatched privacy, and effortless access to the creek. With deep-water access, a 12,000 lb boat lift installed in 2024, and upgraded wood decking and pilings (2023), it’s the perfect setting for anyone who dreams of stepping outside, lowering the lift, and being out on the water within minutes. Sunrise fishing, sunset cruising, weekend exploring — this home is designed for those who want to live life on the water, not just admire it.

Inside, 13 ft ceilings, newer roof (2021), crown molding, and wide water views from the kitchen and family room create a bright, open atmosphere that feels both relaxing and elevated. The indoor kitchen with solid wood cabinetry and granite counters flows naturally to the outdoor kitchen, covered lanai, and heated pool and spa, making this home ideal for year-round entertaining and effortless Florida living.

One of the biggest surprises is the car-lover’s garage — a true rarity on the water. With 12 ft ceilings, two car lifts, hurricane-rated doors, storage cabinetry, and space for up to five vehicles, it’s perfect for collectors or anyone with “all the toys,” from cars to golf carts to weekend projects.

The layout also offers flexibility, a spacious office/den along with a guest suite created by combining two bedrooms for multigenerational living. If needed, it can easily be converted back to restore the home’s original 4-bedroom design, offering versatility for families or guests.

For those searching for boatable water in their backyard, room for every hobby, and a serene waterfront setting that feels like a personal retreat, this home delivers a lifestyle that is truly hard to find — and even harder to leave.
