Description

If lifestyle matters, this charming, extensively updated, and move-in-ready home, nestled on a quiet street overlooking a scenic canal within the highly desired community of Rotonda West, is for you. Rich with curb appeal, the home's manicured tropical landscaping is nourished with zoned irrigation (new irrigation pump/timer 2024) and encircled by concrete edging, adding a touch of elegance and beckoning visitors to take a closer look. Upon entry, guests will appreciate an open-concept living area with a spectacular water view, a beautifully updated kitchen and baths, new ceramic tile flooring, and a fresh, neutral color palette that creates an eye-appealing, light-filled ambiance. Expansive sliders lead from the great room to the lanai, gracefully integrating the indoor and outdoor living areas, thus capturing the essence of Florida living at its finest. A heated saltwater pool (salt system and a new heater 2022) surrounded by a recently refreshed pool deck, with a picturesque canal view as a backdrop, awaits. The oversized lanai features a new pool cage with a panoramic screen that allows ample room to arrange furniture in conversation-friendly configurations, encouraging guests to relax and enjoy a 5:00 cheeseboard while savoring the balmy Florida breeze. The well-designed kitchen is at the heart of the home. It is highlighted by new cabinetry, thoughtfully chosen granite countertops accentuated with a tile backsplash, Samsung stainless steel appliances, and a raised breakfast bar that provides additional seating when needed. A nearby dining room is visually open to the kitchen. It presents an opportunity for more formal dining if desired while simultaneously making a simple weeknight meal feel special. The home's split floor plan was thoughtfully designed to accommodate owners and guests comfortably while affording privacy. The cozy primary suite is a welcome respite after a sunkissed day at the beach, with a fully renovated ensuite bath highlighted by split dual sinks, new cabinetry and fixtures, a walk-in shower, and a private water closet. Bedrooms two and three share a bathroom, offering a tub/shower combination accentuated with an updated tile surround, new cabinetry, and fixtures. Bedroom two is a home office; however, a new Murphy bed allows easy conversion to sleeping quarters when needed. Additional notable highlights include a new roof (2022), a fully renovated interior including kitchen and bathrooms (2023), an AC split condenser/air handler (2024), hand-crafted custom window treatments (2024), and ceramic tile flooring (2023). In addition, the sellers upgraded to R-38 insulation (blown in) for energy savings. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the five courses within the community, and beachcombers will delight in exploring the nearby beaches of Boca Grande and Englewood. Nearby Dearborn Street, in Englewood, offers various unique shops, excellent eateries, and a lovely outdoor amphitheater. Residents and guests regularly delight in the fresh produce and unique offerings at the ever-expanding farmer's markets.
