Home Description: 4656 Pompano St
Surrounded by tropical landscaping, this classic waterfront 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Florida pool home is beautifully positioned on Amberjack Creek. A split floor plan offers privacy on both sides of the house. Enjoy a quiet oasis with access to the water in your own backyard, while being close to the local post office, grocery store, bank, and pizza parlor. Mature tropical plantings, including palms of eight species as well as avocado, mango, bananas, bromeliads, and much more surround this Placida gem. The shell-covered backyard ties the creek side-setting seamlessly into the 1, 300 square foot screen-enclosed heated pool and lanai. Enjoy a refreshing cool beverage while soaking up the sun on the spacious pool deck or cook your catch-of-the-day in the outdoor grill area. The lanai features two sets of pocket, double sliding doors from the house, one from the kitchen/dining area and the other from the master bedroom. The screened lanai itself has a system of compound sliding doors, which can be fully opened to take advantage of pleasant weather and the almost constant, gentle Gulf breeze, or closed to allow the space to be heated or cooled as necessary. Whether opened or closed the lanai is a wonderful place to entertain, or simply relax and enjoy the view of the tropical plantings, creek and frequent wildlife. The dock (composite decking replaced 2022) is equipped with a boat lift, water and electricity on Amberjack Creek, a tidal inlet creek, which provides shallow-draft access to the Gulf of Mexico. The creek abounds with wildlife. Fish from the dock or watch for the sandhill cranes, manatees, and leaping mullet. The dock includes a 6'x8' floating dock extension which makes kayak launching a breeze. You’ll love fishing or simply exploring the tidal creeks and shallow waters. It is 20 minutes by boat (at "no wake" speeds) down the tidal creek through mangrove mazes to the turquoise blue waters of Gasparilla Sound and an additional 5 minutes from there to Gasparilla Pass. This is a phenomenal location for access to watersports facilities, fishing and the world-renowned tarpon fishing capitol of the world, Boca Grande Pass. Don Pedro Island State Park (mainland), which is less than a mile away, has kayak launching facilities - a 3-minute paddle takes you from there to Don Pedro Island. Once there, it is a 5-minute walk through native habitat to pristine, generally empty, beaches fronting on the Gulf of Mexico. It’s also only a short drive to Gasparilla Island and Boca Grande with state parks, more than a dozen public access beaches, shelling, shopping, and excellent restaurants that cater to all tastes. You can also drive north to Manasota Key in Englewood - about 15 minutes away. Once on Manasota Key, there are three major county park beaches at the north, middle and south end of the Key, as well as Stump Pass State Park, a natural gem, which is at the very south end of the Key.
