An outstanding location only half a mile from Manasota Beach yet secluded and private on an oversized lot! The paver driveway and canopy of Oaks welcome you to this quaint coastal cottage where you will instantly feel at home. Built with concrete block, the siding was added along with the metal roof, cupola, and weathervane to give this home a more unique cottage look and fantastic curb appeal! Step inside and instantly be wowed by the soaring vaulted ceilings and gorgeous hardwood floors in the main living space. The open concept allows the great room, dining room, and kitchen to flow seamlessly together. The kitchen was designed with beautiful light-colored wood cabinets, a skylight to let the natural light in, Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances including a newer refrigerator, and a walk-in pantry for all your storage needs! This double master bedroom home allows you and your guests to all have their own privacy. Both feature ceiling fans, walk-in closets, beautiful views of the trees outside, and en suite bathrooms. The primary master bath offers a walk-in shower while the other has a garden bath for a relaxing soak. The third bedroom, which is currently being used as an office, will provide additional space for guests! Sip your morning coffee while sitting on your tiled screened lanai with upgraded ceiling fan as you immerse yourself in the quiet and peacefulness of the very shaded backyard. When you are ready to enjoy the water, make your way to Manasota Key Beach or take your boat out at the public boat ramp, both just 0.5 miles away, to spend the day in the Gulf of Mexico and ICW. When you are ready to enjoy an evening out you have the added convenience of being located between Venice and Englewood to enjoy the shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and activities both towns offer. This home also has impact windows, an irrigation system, central vacuum, water filtration, and an ADT security system installed all for added peace of mind. Don't miss your chance to own this adorable cottage in a fantastic location. Call to schedule your showing today!
