Exquisite Detail. Exceptional Care. An Active Lifestyle. Effortless Florida Living. Great rental history. Pride of ownership doesn't begin to describe this meticulously maintained 2-bedroom home with a versatile bonus room - a residence where thoughtful updates, quality craftsmanship, and everyday comfort come together beautifully. Step inside and immediately appreciate the inviting living room, highlighted by cathedral ceilings, two domed skylights that fill the space with natural light, stylish shiplap walls, a new ceiling fan, and newly-installed LVT flooring. The nearby kitchen offers ample cabinetry and generous counter space, making it both highly functional and perfect for gathering with friends and family. Two spacious bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, while the bonus room offers ideal flexibility for visiting guests, hobbies, or a cozy den. The interior laundry room with a built-in desk offers practical convenience-ideal for managing daily tasks or working from home. The care invested in this home is evident at every turn. Major improvements completed in 2014 include the roof, A/C unit, window and door casings, electrical panel, insulated side lanai, and three large storage sheds - all with electricity (yes, three!). In 2020, additional peace-of-mind upgrades were completed, including storm shutters, a leaf-guard gutter system, new hurricane straps on the carport and beneath the home, an updated vapor barrier, an enclosed foundation, and a fabulous outdoor shower and dressing area - perfect after a day at the beach. Recent updates continue the story of meticulous stewardship: 2023 - New water heater, 2024 - New interior 6-panel doors and all-new LVT flooring throughout the main living areas, 2025 - Fresh paint in the primary bedroom, plus a new pantry closet. Abundant storage throughout the home is a rare and welcome bonus. Located in a desirable 55+ community where you own your own land, this neighborhood offers far more than amenities - it offers connection. Residents enjoy a welcoming clubhouse and pool (located at the Edgewater Club), shuffleboard, tennis, bocce ball, and a busy social calendar that keeps life interesting year-round. From water aerobics and pool exercise classes to community dinners and Texas Hold 'Em tournaments, from bocce leagues and mahjong to Bingo nights, comedy shows, poker runs, and friendly tennis matches - there is always something happening and someone to enjoy it with. Whether you prefer staying active, socializing, or simply relaxing poolside, this community makes it easy to live fully. And beyond the gates? The lifestyle continues. Just minutes away, the serene Gulf beaches of Manasota Key invite you to enjoy soft sands and breathtaking sunsets over turquoise waters. Historic Dearborn Street features farmers' markets, lively festivals, charming boutiques, unique eateries, and a vibrant artistic atmosphere that makes Englewood special.
