Nestled at the end of a quiet cul de sac, this property provides both privacy and potential, making it a truly special find. A beautifully designed brick paved driveway winds through lush, tropical landscaping bursting with butterfly friendly flowers, leading to the welcoming front entrance. Step through the front door and be greeted by high ceilings and a stone, wood burning fireplace that serves as the heart of the home. Designed for both functionality and privacy, the split floorplan ensures a serene retreat for the primary suite. Crown molding accents add a refined touch, while expansive windows flood the home with abundant natural light. The kitchen features spacious solid corian countertops, rich wood cabinetry, and built in organizers. Stained glass accent doors lend an artistic flair, and the breakfast bar provides a cozy space for casual dining. The primary bedroom serves as a private sanctuary, complete with an en suite bath and French doors that open to the backyard. The second bedroom is highly versatile, offering generous built in storage and the flexibility to become a home office, library, or creative space. Step outside to your very own Florida friendly landscaped paradise filled with pollinator friendly plants that enhance the natural surroundings (just needs a little work to bring it back to its amazing self). The storage shed also boasts an upper deck perfect for sunbathing or star gazing while the screened in patio invites relaxation. Rest easy with significant updates, including a NEW ROOF (2022), a RECENTLY REPLACED AC, a WATER HEATER updated 2 3 years ago, and a NEWER ELECTRICAL PANEL. No hurricane damage or flooding (X flood zone) from recent storms. Located in the highly desirable Old Englewood area (no HOA), this remarkable property is just moments from historic Dearborn Street, Lemon Bay Park, charming shops, delicious restaurants, and the breathtaking Gulf Coast beaches.
