About this home
Virtually Staged. Lakefront Fixer-Upper Opportunity – Bring Your Vision in Covered Bridge Rare chance to own on the lake, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath split floor plan home, built in 2000, offers lake views from nearly every room but needs updating and improvements throughout, making it a strong opportunity to build instant equity. The roof was replaced in May 2025, so major-system money can go toward the updates that matter most. The layout offers great bones to work with: a spacious primary suite with his & hers walk-in closets, a combined formal living/dining area with high ceilings and natural light, and a family room with a fireplace open to the kitchen. The breakfast nook seats a full table plus bar stools at the counter, with sliding doors to the screened lanai overlooking the lake. The kitchen and baths need a full refresh, and buyers should budget for some mechanical systems as well as cosmetic updates, the home is priced accordingly for someone ready to renovate and make it their own. Additional features include an inside laundry room, a garage with built-in shelving, and plenty of room on the lot to add a pool. Covered Bridge offers a community pool, tennis courts, playground, and clubhouse with fitness room for just $67/month HOA, with no CDD fees. Minutes to the Ellenton Outlet Mall, with easy access to I-75 and US 301 for a convenient Bradenton/Sarasota or Tampa/St. Pete commute. A rare lakefront opportunity, priced to leave room for your renovation and your equity.
