Discover a truly one-of-a-kind custom-built estate on a rare half-acre corner lot in the heart of Englewood. Designed and constructed by its original owner, this home combines timeless architecture, rustic charm, and exceptional functionality.
The exterior is highlighted by a stunning original red metal roof that extends across both the main home and the adjacent workshop. Inside, beautiful hardwood floors flow throughout the living areas and bedrooms, while tile flooring accents the bathrooms and laundry room.
Offering 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and over 3,000 square feet of living space, the home features a spacious great room with a striking two-sided elevated gas fireplace shared between the living room and kitchen. The kitchen showcases beadboard maple cabinetry, porcelain tile countertops, a center island, and a pass-through window to the expansive screened lanai.
Outdoor living with a 600-square-foot screened porch complete with a built-in bar, gas grill, refrigerator, sink, and fire pit—perfect for entertaining while enjoying Gulf breezes. The spacious half-acre property also offers room for a pool, boat storage, and RV parking.
The flexible second floor includes a bedroom, full bath, loft-style living area plumbed for a kitchenette or wet bar, bonus room, and a private sun deck, offering endless possibilities for guests, hobbies, or additional living space.
Built for peace of mind with hurricane-impact windows and garage doors, a whole-house generator, 500-gallon propane tank, city water and sewer, and a deep well. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the massive 42' x 30' workshop/garage with room for multiple vehicles, high ceilings, additional storage, and abundant covered parking.
Located in a low-traffic neighborhood where golf carts are welcome, you'll be just minutes from historic Dearborn Street, Lemon Bay, boat ramps, beaches, parks, shopping, dining, and community events.
