Rarely does a property with this size come available in the well known Cortez Village. The "Captain Billy Fulford House," is the one of the first house built in Cortez Fishing Village around 1887, making it the oldest. The main house features three bedrooms, one bath, a sleeping loft with balcony views, large living room, office area, kitchen, and a wrap-around front porch. It has recently been updated to include central air conditioning. (Currently Vacant) A brand new exterior stairway has been constructed to the upstairs apartment of the large house that includes a separate apartment with one bedroom, one bathroom, a living room and a kitchen. There is also some attic space that is accessible through this unit. This apartment has a private entry from the north end of this house. (Currently Vacant) The back apartment "The Garden Apartment" is block construction, and it has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a large living room, washer and dryer hook up. The main house is connected to the garden apartment by a breezeway that is fully enclosed. The owner has completed a number of updates to this house and these two units such as a new roof, restoration to the front porch, and installing central air and heat along with the other updates included in this description. Ability to build more units on the vacant land makes this opportunity a one of a kind buy! Location! Location! Location! It is within close proximity to Sarasota bay and a public dock. The Nathan Fulford property is close to beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island and Holmes Beach. It is also just around the corner to countless water-front restaurants, bars, and shops.
