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.
