Property Description
Perfect as a winter escape, or as a full-time residence, this charming 'Old Florida' cottage, nestled on a quiet street, on a double lot, evokes a comforting sense of nostalgia and delight from all who enter. Residents can embrace a peaceful and private lifestyle in the highly coveted Old Englewood neighborhood of Lemon Bay Park. From here, it is a short stroll, bicycle or golf cart ride, to downtown Englewood and historic Dearborn Street, where you can explore eclectic shops, delectable dining opportunities, and enjoy fabulous Englewood Farmers Markets during the bustling winter season. This home offers a beautiful outdoor expanse that overlooks a serene, shared pond that is home to a seasonal rotation of wildlife and enjoys a backdrop of lush greenery. You can enjoy the view from a screened patio as you relax and enjoy some al fresco dining or a peaceful morning coffee. Fully restored following recent hurricanes, the property features carefully maintained, original, Terrazzo flooring throughout the home; vintage hardwood cabinets in the kitchen as well as a mobile food prep island that can tuck away against the wall when not in use. Recently updated to add mini-split units for optimum comfort, this home exudes relaxation and invites you to embrace Old Florida living at its finest. An attached carport provides covered parking for a primary vehicle, while a detached oversized garage will appeal to the avid hobbyist or vehicle collector. Two deeded boat slips with a newly-built dock are a short distance away, and you can easily walk or take your wheeled transport of choice to be out to big water within minutes! The canal housing the deeded boat slips leads directly to Lemon Bay, no bridges to delay you from enjoying a sun-filled day on the water! If you are in search of close proximity to pristine Gulf beaches, shopping, and dining--all with an 'Old Florida' vibe, look no further. Englewood is one of the last small waterfront towns in Southwest Florida, so call today to schedule a private showing and see for yourself all that this quaint coastal cottage has to offer!
