Property Description

Set along the peaceful waters of Gottfried Creek, this beautifully situated 3 bedroom, 3 and a half bath estate offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and an enviable Englewood location. Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead end road and set back from the street, the property offers a private drive and more than TWO ACRES of land, creating a sense of seclusion rarely found this close to the heart of Englewood. Step inside and the home immediately feels open, bright, and inviting, with soaring ceilings and abundant natural light through the overhead transom windows. The generous living room flows into a formal dining room and open kitchen with ample storage, a breakfast nook, additional barstool seating, and a dedicated space for a coffee or wet bar. Off the kitchen, a separate family room provides flexible space for a home office, movie room, or additional gathering area, complemented by plantation shutters. The expansive primary suite features a large walk in closet and en suite bathroom, while the additional bedrooms are well sized and each offer a walk in closet. Just off the kitchen, the oversized laundry room provides exceptional storage and workspace, with plenty of room for pantry storage, appliances, and everyday household needs. The third bedroom offers added flexibility as a private in law suite, accessed by a separate concrete walkway along the side of the home and through French doors opening to its own patio. The suite includes a private en suite bathroom with a remodeled shower, creating a comfortable space for guests or multigenerational living while maintaining separation from the main living areas. The outdoor living space features a large covered lanai with plenty of room for lounging and dining. The heated pool was resurfaced in 2018 and is surrounded by a brand new Pool Cage and Shark coated pool deck. An outdoor half bath with shower adds convenience for pool days and entertaining. Beyond the lanai, a concrete walkway winds through the private grounds, passing an outdoor fire pit along the way before reaching Gottfried Creek and a private dock. The creek offers opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and boating. Considerable care and investment have gone into the property, with the sellers recently completing a number of thoughtful improvements, including brand new QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS and a new tile backsplash in the kitchen, a brand new three zone air conditioning system with all new ductwork and three separate thermostats, NEW IMPACT sliding glass doors and transom windows, a brand NEW POOL CAGE, new SHARK coating on the pool deck and garage, new interior lighting, and freshly mulched landscaping. The irrigation system has also been recently serviced. The property features an oversized 2 and half car garage with additional room for a golf cart, lawn equipment, bikes, or recreational gear, as well as a fenced side yard suitable for pets or additional outdoor use. With more than two acres of waterfront property and a private setting just minutes from the heart of Englewood, this property offers a rare combination of land and location. Downtown Dearborn is nearby with its farmers markets, coffee shops, boutiques, restaurants, yoga and Pilates studios, and local events. Englewood Beach and the Gulf beaches of Manasota Key are just a short drive away, along with nearby parks, waterways, and outdoor recreation.
