1690 Bayshore Dr., Englewood, FL 34223

This 2.46 acre oasis is a bargain with its 215 feet of Intracoastal waterfront, stunning views of Lemon Bay and the distant Manasota Key, and warm tropical breezes coming in from the Gulf of Mexico. Land alone worth over $600,000! Drive down the long tree-lined driveway to the circular drive and the lovely, well-maintained 3BR/3BA home where you enter into a lovely courtyard, then enter the home to a grand living room with high vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams. The large kitchen is designed for entertaining and easy living with its center island, spacious breakfast area, and family room overlooking the pool. It adjoins a 24'x21' year-round Florida Room that provides a wall of windows allowing for un-obstructed views of the Intracoastal waterway and Lemon Bay, screened pool and tropical surroundings. You and your guests can enjoy the 2 master suites situated on opposite sides of the house -- the largest of which has 2 walk-in closets. There is also a 24'x9' Bonus Room that can be used as an art studio, craft room, fitness center, office, recreation room, movie theater, or use your imagination and have it very easily converted to a cabana with sweeping views of the water. The property also has a cement foundation for a boathouse and an oversized 506sqft 2-car garage provides plenty of storage for all the water toys. Although a quiet paradise, it is only minutes from great shopping and fabulous restaurants in both Venice and quaint Englewood. No HOA fees. Recently appraised at $775,000.
