Enjoy the tranquility of this beautiful canal-front tropical paradise! Areca palms and Yew hedges provide privacy, while fruit trees, palms and bromeliads provide color. Enjoy the peaceful sanctuary of the oversized private screened lanai, overlooking the tropical gardens designed for you by award-winning gardeners to be low maintenance. This property has an extra deep backyard (on an 80' x 180' lot for a third acre), and the six zone irrigation system pumps water from the canal to keep the garden care easy and low cost. The dock (built in 2016) on the Rotonda River is a great place to sit and watch water birds and boats, fish, or launch your own kayak. Walking up to the front entry you are welcomed by tropical gardens into a perfect split bedroom open floor plan with walls of glass bringing the tropical views inside and providing easy access to the ultimate indoor/outdoor lifestyle we all desire in Florida. The large living room and dining room have high ceilings and ceramic tile floors. Built in shelves provide places for artwork while multiple sliders and French doors bring the outdoors in. The kitchen is well designed with a wrap-around breakfast bar and newer appliances including a door-in-door refrigerator and a reverse osmosis water purifier. The owners' private suite includes luxuries like dual closets, a garden tub with spa Jets, a walk-in tiled shower with built-in bench, dual sinks, and sliders to the lanai that completely disappear. Across the house, separated by a pocket door, is a full bath and two bedrooms, one of which also has slider access to the pool lanai. And don't miss the 4th bedroom overlooking the front gardens behind a double pocket door, perfect to use as a den. All the bedrooms have good sized closets, ceiling fans and plank style vinyl flooring. The walls of sliders everywhere encourage movement from indoor rooms to the outdoor sanctuary of the lanai. The shaded sitting area has a ceiling fan, and the screen enclosure extends across the full width of the house, providing several outdoor sitting areas to enjoy. The swimming pool includes a heated spa, and the lanai has an outdoor shower. This property survived Hurricane Ian with minor superficial damage, already repaired. The roof lost a few shingles with no water intrusion, but the owner is taking the opportunity to replace it so you will enjoy the security of a brand new 50-year asphalt shingle roof. In addition, the A/C is only 5 years old. This home sits in Flood Zone X, even with the latest FEMA map updates. The house is priced to sell unfurnished, but the sellers will consider leaving it Turnkey Furnished for the right offer. This is the perfect winter retreat, income property, or year-round residence in Rotonda West with many golf courses, beaches and marinas nearby. When you want to leave your tropical sanctuary, Englewood Beach with its live music, the Boca Grande island community, and Dearborn St boutiques are just a short drive away!
