This waterfront cottage presents buyers or investors with a beautifully updated and fully redone waterfront property. Ideal as either a rental home, seasonal residence for the avid boater, or a starter home where privacy and stunning Florida water views are a priority. Once you arrive you will immediately notice the cozy Old Florida appeal radiating from the welcoming entrance, updated with fresh soffits and support posts, and step into the home by way of a freshly painted main living space that connects to the kitchen and leads through to a fully enclosed Florida lanai along the rear of the home. Overlooking the expansive views of Gottfried Creek, the lanai has had all screens and vinyl coverings replaced. Both the kitchen and bathroom have had new cabinets and granite counters installed, and all new doors and trim have been installed. Nestled between the two bedrooms, the bathroom features oversized cabinets to provide ample storage and upgrade the space. Thoughtful updates have been put in place for peace of mind, with the HVAC system elevated, a new roof installed in 2025, and epoxy floors throughout. A new wooden dock anchors the backyard and offers space for two boats, and provides a water supply for convenient boat maintenance after a day spent on the beautiful waterways that surround the neighborhood and lead out to Lemon Bay and the Gulf beyond, with only a single fixed bridge between you and big water. Centrally located in Englewood, the property is less than two miles from Englewood Beach, and the waterfront and water view dining options that welcome residents and guests to Manasota Key, a day of sun-soaked luxury has never been easier to achieve. The neighboring property is also available, and provides the enterprising buyer with the option to create a waterfront compound for unparalleled privacy and convenience. If this is intriguing, call today and be prepared to be captivated by the opportunities surrounding you!
