About this home

Mid-century charm meets modern upgrades in this Nokomis canalfront home, offering direct Gulf access with just one bridge under US-41. Sitting at a baseline elevation of 11 feet, 603 Barnes features three true bedrooms, two baths, and nearly 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space, this property is a rare find with no HOA, deed restrictions, or fees. Located on a quiet dead-end street, enjoy a private retreat while being minutes from top-rated beaches, restaurants, and outdoor activities. Inside, polished terrazzo floors, refinished in 2020, and the garage converted into a primary retreat, the home offers timeless appeal and great resale potential. Expansive windows fill the space with natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The open living area connects to the enclosed lanai, currently used as a dining room, where you can take in the tranquil water views. A front covered patio provides another relaxing space, perfect for unwinding during sunset. The spacious backyard offers ample room for a pool, further enhancing the outdoor living experience. The well-appointed galley kitchen is open to the main living space, offering granite countertops, a tile backsplash, painted wood cabinetry with stylish matte hardware, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a Samsung range, microwave, and refrigerator, along with a GE dishwasher. A strategically placed sink overlooks the backyard and waterfront, while a walk-in pantry provides ample storage. Thoughtful details such as built-in USB outlets add to the home’s modern conveniences. The primary suite is generously sized and features a large walk-in closet with potential for custom built-ins. A barn door leads to the en suite bath, highlighted by designer wallpaper, decorative tile, and an updated vanity. The guest bath includes a granite countertop, mosaic-style flooring, a shower-tub combination, and a large frosted glass window. One guest bedroom features a deep walk-in closet with built-in shelving. The 0.27-acre lot is fully fenced, with a PVC privacy fence in the front and black chain link fencing along the waterfront to maintain unobstructed views of the mangroves and private dock.
