Situated in a desirable Englewood neighborhood, this property offers over 2,200 square feet of living space, ready to be reimagined and brought back to its full potential.

The large fenced double lot offers ample space for parking, boat storage, or future enhancements. Boaters will love the Gulf access via Gottfried Creek, while investors will appreciate the opportunity to restore, rent, or resell in a sought-after coastal location just minutes to Englewood Beach, local dining, and shopping. Highlights: 2 bedrooms | 2 baths | carport, Over 2,200 sq. ft. under air. Saltwater canal with Gulf access. Roof (2020) | A/C (2022). Four 120-gallon propane tanks.
