About 1620 Manor Road
Look up the definition of "tropical retreat" and you'll find this one of a kind mid-century charmer. Set on 3/4 of an acre with a welcoming circular driveway, this bohemian-inspired retreat captures the charm of Old Florida beach living. Terrazzo flooring flows throughout the home, creating a timeless and easy-to-maintain foundation for the laid-back coastal aesthetic. Enjoy peace of mind with major updates already completed, including a new roof (2022), newer HVAC system (2020), impact-rated windows and doors (2020), and an updated electrical panel (2018). The kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled with a cozy cottage feel, and the bathrooms have been updated as well. The primary suite features slider entrance to the lanai, walk in closet and en suite bathroom. Two more bedrooms and guest bathroom provide plenty of room, but that's not all - there is a casita in the backyard with electric, air conditioning and more - set up perfectly to host extra guests or enjoy a hobby or two. If your hobbies include gardening or just enjoying nature, you will love the mature starfruit and mango trees, bamboo, carefully selected and maintained tropical flora and fauna, and raised garden beds. Enjoy the view of the expansive yard from the gorgeous lanai, which features a vaulted, wood plank ceiling and 3 sets of impact pocket sliders to the main home. Fully fenced with an additional fence around the outdoor inground pool, this property invites you to kick off your shoes, grab a refreshing beverage and immerse yourself in the ultimate beach homestead. Located less than a ten minute drive from Englewood Beach, and less than a ten minute drive from historic Dearborn St, you can lean into joining the vibrant community that celebrates the laidback Florida life with Farmer's Markets, Beach Drum Circles, annual festivals and so much more. Englewood Gardens also has a private beach club with access to Lemon Bay, Englewood Beach, and an amenity center. Venture a short distance to Boca Grande, Venice Beach, Manasota Key, historic Punta Gorda or stay close for the small town beach life - the adventure is yours to take.
