Englewood - Beach Property For Sale #4722965

VIEW! VIEW! VIEW! Almost every room has some view of LEMON BAY. Nearly 180o PANORAMIC VIEW from BOTH the GREAT ROOM and MASTER bdrm. There is a view of the bay from the guest suite bath, a peek-a-boo view from the largest suite and views of two BANYAN trees from the front deck and the back suite. The property includes DEEDED private BEACH access to the GULF. All 3 suites are situated in their own wings with their own full bath affording privacy for a multigenerational home or for a couple that likes to entertain or even for the occasional special rental opportunity. All 3 suites converge in the great room to share the most EXPANSIVE VIEW, have fellowship, entertainment and the making of memories to last a life time. The largest suite is conveniently positioned where it could have its own entrance and kitchen. In other words lots of versatility to take your direction and run with it!

With so much of OLD FLORIDA DISAPPEARING, anyone who yearns for a quiet private get away, and a QUAINT community feel, will immediately recognize the opportunity to SNATCH A PIECE of it here. The house is situated on Lemon Bay at the end of a SHORT GRAVEL ROAD dotted with neighbors. Your drive home should shed the day's stress as you pass by TURTLE CROSSINGS, and BIRD TRAILS. At one bend you are DRIVING ALONG THE BEACH and at another stretch you are under a SCENIC CANOPY ROAD. Meet the community by attending events at the nearby HERMITAGE ARTIST RETREAT or the MANASOTA BEACH CLUB. Here you can join the tennis club, bocce club, have a leisurely dinner or host a party. Experience local history before its gone. This house is also located on the most convenient part of the island. It's a much shorter distance to enjoy RESTAURANTS, BEACH SHOPS and, of course, access to a myriad of WATER SPORTS activities. One favorite memory the current owner shared was renting kayaks nearby and kayaking home for lunch. A previous owner built the dock to facilitate the landing of his sea plane. There is a newer sea wall installed and on several occasions I experienced the dolphins swimming back and forth along the wall, playfully swirling around the dock so close I could almost pet them. You can fish off the dock and plenty of birds sing in the trees. In fact we got the shot of the eagle on photography day! If wildlife is your thing there is no shortage of visitors. To enjoy the outdoors there are newer decks and cabling, added in 2013, creating 3 separate outside spaces. The largest is facing the bay with access from both the great room and master suite. Another is at the front door offering a slightly shaded area with a view of the mature Banyan trees, and a third is at the side offering easy access from the kitchen and laundry for barbecuing and utility. Underneath the house is another covered but open expansive space that could host an outdoor event, maintaining the unobstructed bay view yet shielding guests from the elements. This is where I would sit in a swinging chair next to a fire pot to experience a good storm.
Much has been done to secure the house during storms. $80,000 of hurricane windows and doors were installed in 2014. A galley style kitchen was installed in 2013; a new roof in 2018; new garage doors in 2020. In my opinion VIEW and LOCATION are an 11!
The house is constructed using several pre-fabricated and uniquely shaped geometric pods, so room measurements are creatively accomplished. Confirm your interpretation of measurements. Grass is photoshopped.
