Property Description
LIVE THE BEACH LIFE! YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY AT THIS NEW PRICE!!! Your private coastal retreat awaits just blocks from MANASOTA BEACH. Nestled on a quiet, dead-end road surrounded by a beautiful walking path on county-preserved land, this serene pond-front home offers the perfect blend of relaxation and convenience-without the restrictions of an HOA. Bike, walk, or take your golf cart to the Gulf of Mexico, and enjoy one of the best BOAT RAMPS in the area with quick access to Lemon Bay and Stump Pass. Inside, this move-in-ready home features a desirable ~split-bedroom layout with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a spacious Florida bonus room overlooking the amazing outdoor space! . The primary suite feels like a tropical escape with its spa-style tiled shower, custom walk-in closet, and even a chandelier. The 10,358 sq ft lot is fully fenced, with plenty of space to park your BOAT or RV. A 2-car garage and storage shed provide room for all your toys and tools. Recent mechanical updates give peace of mind, including a newer Trane A/C system with ductwork (2019), roof (2016), electrical panel with 240 amp hookup for a hot tub (2016), and water heater (2019). Outdoor living shines here. Relax by the shaded backyard pond while herons, ducks, eagles, and otters visit the water's edge. Up front, stone pavers create a welcoming patio, while modern touches like Ring doorbell, motion-sensor lights, and a video surveillance system provide comfort and security. The Manasota-By-The-Sea community is truly unique, offering a laid-back coastal lifestyle right on the edge of Englewood and South Venice. Nearby Englewood brings waterfront dining, shopping, farmers markets, boat rentals, and miles of pristine beaches-plus you're only 20 minutes to historic downtown Venice. This home is also available TURNKEY FURNISHED OPTION (with a few exceptions), making it ready for IMMEDIATE seasonal use or a full-time beachside lifestyle. Home has been used as a very successful VRBO. Don't miss your chance to own this one-of-a-kind retreat.
