1920 ILLINOIS AVENUE Welcome to a true Old Florida waterfront retreat in the heart of Englewood—where timeless coastal charm meets exceptional boating and unforgettable sunsets. Tucked near the tip of a peaceful canal, this home enjoys a protected boat basin that helps shield your vessel from the elements, offering both peace of mind and effortless access to the water. Set out by boat and cruise past a scenic bird rookery—alive with native seabirds and seasonal hatchlings—before reaching the Intracoastal Waterway within moments. From there, Stump Pass, the open Gulf, and a relaxed ride to favorite tiki bars and waterfront restaurants await. The boating here is truly superior, blending calm, protected waters with quick access to adventure. As day turns to evening, the property is bathed in spectacular sunset skies, where soft coastal hues reflect across the water and neighborhood—creating a nightly backdrop that feels both tranquil and breathtaking. Whether enjoyed from the yard, dock, or after returning from a sunset cruise, the views are simply unforgettable. Inside, the home offers relaxed coastal elegance with newly remodeled kitchen and baths and an open, airy living space designed for gathering and unwinding. An attached storage room with shelving off the garage provides ideal space for boating gear, beach essentials, and outdoor equipment. Surrounded by natural beauty, warm breezes, and glowing sunset skies, this home captures the essence of Old Florida living—authentic, serene, and quietly luxurious. A place where mornings begin on the water and evenings end beneath painted skies. Don't let this be the one that got away! Call today for your private showing.
