This canal-front home feels like a private resort, with extensive improvements inside and out. Mature landscaping, areca palms, pavers, curbing, planters, Bahama shutters, and fresh coastal colors give the home great curb appeal while also creating incredible privacy throughout the property. The backyard is where this home really stands out. A large shade tree offers a comfortable place to relax or fish along the canal, while the covered deck provides plenty of room for entertaining family and friends. There is also a fenced yard for your pet, a putting green, fire pit, arbor with climbing flowers, and room for cornhole or other outdoor games. Areca palms surround much of the property, creating a peaceful setting with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the local wildlife. Outdoor furniture is included, so the space is ready to enjoy from day one. Inside, the bright coastal colors, crown molding, customized lighting, and updated flooring give the home a clean, finished feel. The living and dining area flows into a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances, updated cabinets and countertops, a large sink, pantry, and dedicated coffee and wine bar. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and private bath with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a large closet, and the inside laundry room offers additional cabinetry and storage. The sunroom off the kitchen adds a separate and flexible living space with its own private entrance, mini-split air conditioner, and two closets. It works well as a den, guest space, hobby room, or even a 3rd bedroom. The owners have completed extensive improvements and upgrades throughout the home, including the roof, impact windows, exterior and interior doors, Bahama shutters, kitchen, plumbing, electrical service, central air and ductwork, flooring, lighting, and interior and exterior paint. A lawn sprinkler system that is fed from the canal helps make the landscaping easier to maintain at low cost, and the home offers plenty of closets and storage throughout. Outside, there is a large carport, workshop, and 10x12 foot storage shed with room for tools, golf gear, beach equipment, and more. Furniture and a Club Car golf cart with charger and newer batteries convey, subject to the seller's exclusion list. The property is safely located in desired X flood zone, and rentals are permitted. For an optional yearly fee, the Edgewater Club membership offers a clubhouse, pool, lake, tennis, pickleball, bocce, and additional amenities. Restaurants, live music, shopping, medical facilities, golf courses, boating, and Englewood's beaches are all nearby, with the beach approximately 3 miles away.
