Welcome home! This classic, yet updated home found nestled on a quiet street, on an OVERSIZED DOUBLE LOT, in the heart of sunny Englewood (in a non-deed-restricted area), evokes a sense of nostalgia and delight from all who enter. The home's charming interior is highlighted by a split floor plan and tastefully updated bathrooms designed to accommodate owners and guests in comfort while providing abundant privacy. A cheerful color palette creates an eye-appealing, light-filled ambience throughout this inviting home. DUAL LIVING AREAS allow plenty of room to comfortably entertain friends and family. Just outside the Florida room is a heated pool (new heater in 2020) surrounded by an attractive paver pool deck. Gardening enthusiasts will appreciate the 'secret garden' found just steps from the back door. Here, the opportunities to enjoy peace and tranquility are endless, and where lush tropical vegetation is nourished by a zoned irrigation system. The whimsical 'potting shed' had new wiring and AC installed in 2017. Since this home is situated on an OVERSIZED DOUBLE LOT, there is plenty of room to store your 'toys', including your boat or RV. A carport was constructed in 2016 to provide additional covered parking when needed. For additional peace of mind, several other notable updates/amenities are found here including: a whole house surge protector, new windows (2012), impact windows in the kitchen/guest room and hurricane shutters for the rest of the house, fence (2014), AC (2012), roof (2014), gutters (2014), garbage disposal (2017), hot water heater (2012), septic pumped (2018), and a new pool heater was added in 2020. In 2016, the beautiful pool area was further enhanced with the addition of new brick paver pool decking, cage rescreening, and a new pool pump. If that's not enough, this home is located in an X-FLOOD ZONE for additional insurance savings. Located in sunny Englewood, FL, this home is just a short drive to the pristine Gulf beaches of Manasota Key, multiple golf courses, and world-class fishing opportunities. Nearby Dearborn St., home to the farmer's market, is also within a short drive and offers an eclectic mix of shopping and dining experiences. If this sounds intriguing, what are you waiting for?
