6570 Manasota Key Rd., Englewood, FL 34223

This Gulf Front 4 Bedroom, 4 Bathroom home with deeded dock/bay access is located on one of Florida’s most beautiful and private barrier islands. It is rare to find a home like this with 100’ of wide coastline that overlooks pristine dunes and powdery sands. This coastal estate property has been featured multiple times in past Home and Garden Tours. You will fall in love with this Florida-style coastal design focused on comfort, the ultimate beachside residence for laidback luxury living, with open spaces that allow the light to pour in through the abundance of windows that afford extraordinary views from most rooms. An entertainer's dream, the kitchen, dining room, living room, and wet bar area flow easily and effortlessly out to the 25' x 10' screened and covered lanai. The lanai has amazing treehouse views overlooking the 3/4 acre lush and professionally landscaped yard with custom multi-tiered decking with separate bbq area, dining alfresco deck, private sunbathing decks, and the views continue out to the Gulf of Mexico. The guest bedrooms are located in the south wing of the home including the second Master Bedroom which is ensuite with its own bathroom, walk-in closet, and private open balcony to capture both garden and Gulf views. The Master bedroom suite is on the main level north wing and features a private screened terrace, an expansive master bathroom, and a walk-in closet. You will be lulled to sleep each night by the sounds of the waves and wake up each morning to views of the sparkling gulf. Metal Roof, two Zone HVAC (5 ton north and 2 ton south), Hardwood Floors, Coastal Fans & Light Fixtures, Plantation shutters, an abundance of storage and Cabinets, spiral staircase, irrigation, and outdoor shower. The yard is true serenity for a nature enthusiast and the days will melt away as you meander through the island-style gardens, park-like yard, and down the winding boardwalk to the expansive beach. The home is elevated on pilings and underneath is a 345 sq ft garage which is the size of a 2 car garage with a single door, there is also a 1038 sq ft carport, plenty of parking for guests, and plenty of space in the front yard filled with beautiful tropical foliage, mature landscaping, Palm trees, and beautiful Oaks. You can also enjoy fishing in the bay with deeded shared dock and bay access where the snook, redfish, and sheepshead are plentiful. A residence with this amount of property and privacy on the beach seldom becomes available. I love that there are a dozen places in this enchanted tropical paradise to escape into serenity. Multiple decks, secret gardens, hidden coves, a secret serenity cove with a hammock in the trees for reading a book in the cool shade, a cobblestone pathway leading to a coral bench, and more. All of these private and relaxing spots in the large outdoor yard area beckon you to stretch out on a hammock, meditate in the garden, sit around the firepit, enjoy happy hour with friends, host a wedding or large party, or just peacefully rest and watch the dolphins and manatees playing in the shimmering Gulf of Mexico, and the osprey, eagles, and shorebirds soaring overhead. Don't miss your chance to live like you are on a vacation in this resort-style beachside coastal estate home. Homeowners have a grandfathered/transferable flood insurance policy $795 per year.
