Under contract-accepting backup offers. Lakefront Home with Exceptional Potential in Englewood Isles! Welcome to this canal front home located in the desirable boating community of Englewood Isles, offering classic Florida living and outstanding potential. This three-bedroom, two-bath, single-story residence is perfectly positioned on a tranquil canal, providing scenic water views and a peaceful setting. The property features a circular driveway, mature palm trees, and a two-car garage. While the landscaping and some cosmetic areas are ready for updating, this home presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to add value and customize to their taste. The roof and A/C may need replacement, and the home will benefit from handyman work, making it ideal for investors, renovators, or homeowners with vision. Inside, the open great room and dining area flow seamlessly into the Florida room, creating a bright, flexible living space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Ceramic tile flooring runs throughout the main living areas for durability and easy maintenance. Sliding glass doors in the Florida room open to the lanai, offering abundant natural light and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The Florida room offers great additional living space, though some of the floor tiles are in need of replacement and the lanai needs new screens. The galley-style kitchen is designed for efficiency and functionality, featuring raised-panel wood cabinetry (some with pull-out shelving), generous Corian countertop space, a breakfast bar, recessed lighting, and a skylight that fills the space with natural light. Appliances include a smooth-top cooktop, wall oven/microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator, complemented by a decorative tile backsplash. The kitchen opens conveniently to the living and dining areas, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The primary bedroom includes a private full bath, a large walk-in closet, and a comfortable sitting area. Two additional bedrooms provide flexible space for guests, hobbies, or a home office. One bedroom—currently used as a family room—features sliding glass doors opening directly to the lanai, further enhancing the indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The guest bath offers a walk-in shower. The laundry room, located just off the kitchen, includes added cabinetry for storage, a utility sink, and a full-size washer and dryer. Englewood Isles is a waterfront community on Forked Creek, offering access to the Intracoastal Waterway with no bridges via the private marina, available exclusively for residents to rent or purchase. Enjoy close proximity to Manasota Key beaches, along with shopping, dining, medical facilities, and convenient access to area airports.
