About this property
Private Oasis on Canal with Dock
Indoor-outdoor living at it's best. Light and airy. Perfectly situated in a quiet neighborhood, with close proximity to shopping, schools, restaurants, and I-75.
The house sits on a double-wide lot with large elk trees, palms, and lush landscaping. Very private. The most stunning feature is the oversized screened lanai with couch, bar, flat screen TV, two wine refrigerators', and gas firepit. The lanai also features a large wrought-iron dining table and chairs, with seating for 6-8 guests.
Triple pocket sliders in the living room open to the lanai and large private backyard, on the water with dock seating. High top gas firepit in the yard. Kayaks and fishing gear provided. Plenty of lawn space for croquet, bocce ball, and corn hole (also provided).
The home offers a split living arrangement, with the living room and master bedroom/bathroom on one side, and the two guest bedrooms, full bath, and family room on the other side.
The living room with 80" flat-screen TV, large kitchen, breakfast nook, and dining room with high top table and seating for 6-8, separate the two sides of the house. The kitchen features a desk with computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse.
The master bedroom has pocket sliders that open to the lanai, as does the family room, with it's own 75" flat screen TV, leather couch, and two leather chairs.
The home is fully stocked with towels, dishes, cookware, and appliances, including Espresso machine, toaster, blender, and air fryer. The laundry room is equipped with front load washer and dryer.
High speed Wi-Fi inside and outside.

About the host
Hosted by Mike ODonnell
I'm your host, Mike O'Donnell. My father and I purchased the house in 2021 as our full-time residence. It had been neglected for years and was a pretty sore sight. We had a blast renovating the place and turning it into a beautiful home. It was a labor of love for the better part of two years.
Throughout his life, my dad had the reputation of having the best lawn in the neighborhood. This house was his masterpiece. He truly loved this spot. It would be his last home and the one he was most proudest of. He passed away peacefully in Hospice in December 2023. I feel fortunate to have spent his final years with him working on the home. I suppose it will probably be my last home as well.
I am traveling these days to spend more time with my kids and grandkids. We have had a lot of wonderful family gatherings here and hope to have many more in the years ahead. I hope you will take good care of the place when I'm away and enjoy it as much as I do! Make some memories of your own. Nothing would have pleased my dad more.

Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Great for long walks and bike rides.
It seems like the house is tucked away in a remote corner of Northport, but it's only 9 minutes to city center, Publix, and restaurants.

What makes this property unique
Open floor plan. High ceilings. Tranquil setting. Lot's of privacy!
The wild life around the house is amazing -- and active. The lot to the left of the house is a protected space which is home to large burrowing tortoises. They will come into the yard to stretch on occasion. Birds flock to the feeders in the backyard. Blue heron and egrets love to perch on the dock rails. The tall pine tree in the back is host to large hawks.
Squirrels and rabbits love to frolic outback. On occasion you might spot a family of small bob cats first thing in the morning. They are shy; they only go by if you're indoors. On sunny days you can catch alligators swimming by the dock. They love to sun themselves on the shore across the canal.
