This lovely 1900 square foot 3 bedroom home with a heated pool and Jacuzzi spa has the best of both worlds. Not only do you have the Gulf of Mexico with its spectacular sunsets and wide private beach, you also have a dock to use on Lemon Bay, and your own private oasis in a quiet, secluded neighborhood. The private beach, available only to those in the immediate neighborhood, is a short walk across and up the street and is full of shells and sharks teeth to collect. Of course, you can walk along this beach down or up to any of the public beaches that are nearby - Blind Pass Beach and Manasota Key beach are to the North and Englewood public beach is to the South. The home has an open-concept design, with a vaulted ceiling and sight-lines to the living room, dining room, and kitchen. In addition, the sliding glass doors in the living area allow a direct view of the swimming pool and covered lanai. The home has been tastefully decorated in a tropical theme by an interior decorator. The comfortably furnished living room seats up to 8 people, and has a large-screen TV with lots of channels and free whole-house high speed internet WiFi. The dining area has a large wooden table for 8 people in addition to the 2 stools at the kitchen island. And for even more dining space, you'll enjoy dining on the screened lanai especially on those warm winter days and cool summer nights. The lanai also has a gas grill and 6 lounge chairs for sunning and relaxing by the pool. The kitchen is fit for a gourmet cook, fully-equipped with brand new stainless steel appliances, new granite counter tops and with loads of pots and pans, dishes and utensils. The large master bedroom has a view of the lanai and pool, a king-size bed, night stands and a dresser with a large TV. Next to it is a walk-in closet and the master bathroom with a shower and double vanity. On the opposite side of the house are the 2 guest bedrooms. The bedroom with the king bed also has its own private screened lanai with a lounge chair. The room with the queen bed has a TV. The guest bathroom has a tub/shower combination. For additional guests, there is a sleeper sofa in the living room, and 2 roll-away cots. This beautiful home will sleep up to 10 people. The owner will allow up to 2 well behaved dogs with an additional non-refundable pet fee per dog. The laundry room is adjacent to the kitchen and includes a utility sink. The garage is large enough for 2 cars, but also has beach chairs and 2 bicycles to enjoy in addition to other items. There are 2 other parking spaces on the driveway big enough for your boat or trailer. (Pool heating fee $95 per week.) Come to Florida's Sun Coast to a property that gives you the opportunity to walk across the street every evening and admire the glorious sunset over the Gulf, stretch out and relax on the beautiful beach, enjoy the dolphins romping in the Gulf and in the Bay, and a secluded respite from everyday cares.
