Description

Welcome to a home that lives like a resort. This is a rare opportunity to own a coastal-style estate designed for laid-back luxury on 1.03 acres in Englewood's premier Bayshore area. High and dry, this home did not flood during the storms. Offering 3,100 square feet of living space and garage space for 7 vehicles, this exceptional property features 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 3 fireplaces, impressive upgrades, and a thoughtfully designed layout. A striking double-door entry with an arched transom window and architectural columns welcomes you into the grand foyer and living room, where soaring 20+ foot vaulted ceilings create a dramatic first impression. Designed for everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, the main living spaces flow beautifully. The home's character shines through in the many gathering areas, including a formal living room, comfortable family room, and a chef's kitchen that serves as the heart of the home. The kitchen is anchored by a large island with abundant cabinetry and storage, generous prep space, a breakfast bar, an eat-in area, newer dishwasher, built-in convection oven and microwave, and a new Sub-Zero refrigerator. The recreation/billiards room, with an interior half bath, offers flexibility and could easily be transformed into a media room, fourth-bedroom suite, or in-law suite. Step outside and enjoy a private tropical oasis. The large resort-style lanai and pool area are designed for entertaining, featuring a wet bar beneath a pass-through window with an ice maker and wine fridge. Swim in the oversized lap pool while enjoying the privacy and beauty of this lush property. Meticulously upgraded for comfort and peace of mind, this home includes two-zone HVAC, a 15,000-watt emergency generator, a newer roof, soffit, and gutters, a newer solar system, newer stucco and exterior paint, two newer hot water heaters, and a newly resurfaced pool- with new drains, vents, returns, and tile. Professionally landscaped grounds feature multiple decking, patio, and lanai areas for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The detached 5-car garage and attached climate-controlled oversized 2-car garage provide exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies, storage, or workshop use. The impressive semi-circular double-gated entry leads to the residence, while the extended driveway continues beyond the home to the triple-bay detached garage of over 1,200 square feet, complete with workshop space, three hurricane-rated garage doors, and an oversized center door. Inside, the home offers privacy and flexibility. The primary suite is a retreat with fireplace, jetted tub, dual vanities, dual walk-in closets, and sliding glass doors to the pool lanai. Behind a pocket door off the family room, guests or family members will appreciate a private bedroom wing with the second and third bedrooms, including one en-suite bedroom and a third bath off the third bedroom. The oversized interior laundry room adds functionality. Pets will enjoy the freedom of a fully fenced yard and a dog run. Perfectly located, with partial water views of the bay (ICW), this property offers the best of coastal living, just one mile from Manasota Key's beach and minutes from restaurants, shopping, and dining. With hundreds of thousands of dollars in upgrades throughout the home and property, this is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind estate at an incredible value. Add your finishing touches and make this exceptional property your own.
