Porcelain tile flooring has been incorporated, resulting in seamless transitions between rooms while providing an updated, on-trend ambiance. The cottage's open kitchen and living area are conducive to a casual, laid-back way of life--the quintessential Southwest Florida lifestyle. Nearby, the primary bedroom was designed as a peaceful respite after a fun-filled day on Englewood Beach, with an adjacent bath that has been updated to include a whimsical top-mounted sink and a spacious shower accentuated with an updated tile surround with a frameless glass door. Bedroom two (in-law suite) offers a shower and a separate water closet, home to a new vanity. A convenient kitchenette with a sink, mini-refrigerator, and microwave provides direct access to the oversized backyard, where the food and fun can flow unabated, with room for a pool. Sliding doors open to a cozy front porch that encourages al fresco dining nightly, and a deck is found just outside the back door, the perfect place to house a grill.

A shed provides additional storage and is the perfect place for storing your beach toys. A new 200-amp electrical panel (to accommodate a future pool heater) and all new wiring have been added for additional peace of mind. This charming home is within a short drive of the pristine beaches on Manasota Key and its various dining establishments, and a short walk will lead you to lively and historic Dearborn Street, its myriad unique shops, excellent eateries, and a lovely outdoor amphitheater.
