Tucked into the established Grove City Terrace community of Englewood, this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a versatile den offers a rare mix of privacy, updates, and true Old Florida character. The showstopper is the backyard: it shares its boundary with 50+ acres of wooded, county-owned preserve land, creating a quiet, natural setting where native landscaping and abundant wildlife take center stage — a genuine retreat for those who value peace and privacy. Inside, easy-care tile floors run throughout (absolutely NO CARPET) and hurricane impact windows deliver year-round peace of mind and efficiency, all wrapped in an open, light-filled floor plan. Added flexibility comes from a room with its own private entrance, offering great potential for an in-law suite. The big-ticket items are already handled: shingle ROOF (3 years), water heater (3 years), HVAC (8 years), and a 1-year-old microwave and dishwasher, all on solid block construction. A screened area provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors bug-free. Residents enjoy a community boat ramp on Oyster Creek with quick access out to Stump Pass and the Gulf. You’re just minutes from the sugar-sand beaches of Manasota Key, plus Englewood’s historic Dearborn Street shops and farmers market, waterfront dining, golf, world-class fishing, and the relaxed coastal lifestyle that makes this stretch of Southwest Florida so beloved. Come see it before it’s gone.
