One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to a rare and iconic waterfront property in the heart of Englewood's sought after Oxford Manor neighborhood! This remarkable 3 bedroom 2 bath single story home sits on 1.85 acres of lush, park like grounds with 140 feet of frontage on the Gottfried Creek with only one bridge to the bay. The home has been completely renovated and features a brand new roof and offers a thoughtfully designed layout with elegant yet comfortable living spaces. A welcoming front living room and expansive rear family room both are great for entertaining and getting natural light through multiple windows that frame serene views of the grounds. The centrally positioned kitchen serves as the heart of the home, seamlessly connecting two dining areas and featuring ample storage with a closet pantry. 2 guest bedrooms and a full bath occupy a private wing, while the primary suite is set apart, offering pool views, a walk-in closet, and a beautiful ensuite bath. Enjoy the outdoor living with the screened lanai created for refined relaxation and entertaining, overlooking the generously sized pool and tranquil natural backdrop. A striking banyan tree anchors the landscape and leads to a sprawling backyard designed for both recreation and quiet enjoyment. Boasting 140 feet of waterfront frontage, the property is equipped with a substantial wooden dock, 6,000-lb boat lift, and a dedicated kayak and paddleboard launch. Enjoy premier boating, fishing, and wildlife experiences from your private shoreline, with effortless access to the Intracoastal Waterway, Lemon Bay, waterfront dining, sandbars, Stump Pass, and the Gulf. While offering privacy and estate-like seclusion, the location remains remarkably convenient with easy access by car or bike to Manasota Key and Englewood Beach, plus the conveniences of shopping and dining along historic Dearborn Street and other nearby essentials. Privacy meets convenience. A must see!
