Just across the carport, a separately accessed third bedroom is joined by the laundry and additional storage area, creating flexible space for guests, a home office, hobbies or other uses. Indirect cove lighting incorporated into the soffits throughout the home adds warmth, ambiance and architectural interest. Both bathrooms feature custom-tiled showers, and the home offers COMPREHENSIVE HURRICANE PROTECTION, with high impact-rated windows and exterior doors throughout and hurricane shutters protecting the fixed top front glass. A smart thermostat, custom blinds and newer air-conditioning systems add comfort and convenience. The renovated kitchen features QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS, ALL-WOOD SOFT-CLOSE CABINETRY and a carefully selected stainless-steel appliance package, including a Bosch dishwasher, spacious 28-cu.-ft. LG French-door refrigerator, Frigidaire five-element electric range with built-in exhaust and an LG smart microwave. Outdoor living takes center stage around the HEATED SALTWATER POOL, surrounded by flagstone and enhanced by a tranquil waterfall feature. An outdoor shower is ideal after a swim or day on the water, while the covered dock provides convenient shelter for your boat and equipment. A newer pool heater helps keep this inviting waterfront retreat ready to enjoy. The location places you close to Englewood's beaches, parks, shops, golf, restaurants and cultural attractions. Landy's Restaurant is just four doors away, West Dearborn Street is approximately 5 minutes by car, and Farlow's on the Water is just a 3-minute drive down the road.
