Welcome to this diamond in the rough on an oversized tip lot along beautiful Gottfried Creek in the heart of Englewood! Fully remediated and repaired from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, this home has been brought back to provide a stunning blank canvas that invites you to put the final touches on to make this home YOURS! The moment you step foot into this light-filled haven, your eyes will immediately be drawn to the breathtaking view out the back windows that overlook the fenced backyard and 132 feet of uninterrupted waterfront. In addition to a spectacular view, this home is a host's DREAM. Built in hardwood cabinetry and dry bar, just waiting to be adorned with bottles of wine and glassware, anchors the dining room and coordinates with the kitchen cabinetry that surrounds an oversized prep island and leads to the sun-soaked living room along the rear of the house. The primary suite sits steps away from the kitchen, and flows through to connect the laundry room and a bonus office space to the heart of the home. A walk in closet and ensuite bathroom complete the primary suite package that provides premier privacy, with the split floor plan of the home placing the additional bedrooms across the house. Not only does this property offer the chance to truly make your mark, but there is room to grow! A fully permitted concrete pad has been poured that was intended to be a fourth bedroom, and the opportunity is there to create that additional space, or utilize it as an additional outdoor storage or sitting space. Not that the home wants for outdoor sitting space! Sliding glass doors lead from the living room to a 1351sq ft pool deck and patio which surrounds a heated pool and was curated for entertaining and includes a full bathroom, luxury custom outdoor bar from Paradise Grills that was painted by local artist Matt McAllister, and is enclosed in a 1763 sq ft aluminum pool cage that overlooks the back water frontage and yard. For those craving fun in the sun that doesn't have to stop at the property line, a large composite dock, floating dock and covered boat lift anchors the backyard and offers space for three boats, and provides both electric and a water supply for convenient boat maintenance after a day spent on the beautiful waterways that surround the neighborhood and lead out to Lemon Bay and the Gulf beyond, with only a single fixed bridge between the home and big water. Centrally located in Englewood, the property is less than two miles from Englewood Beach, and the waterfront and water view dining options that welcome residents and guests to Manasota Key, a day of sun-soaked luxury has never been easier to achieve. For peace of mind the home has a transferable 3-year FEMA flood policy available, metal roof, and new insulation in the attic. The neighboring property is also available, and provides the enterprising buyer with the option to create a waterfront compound for unparalleled privacy and convenience.
