Old Florida Charm Meets Modern Comfort in Historic Old Englewood From the moment you pull up to this classic 1948 Old Florida bungalow, you’ll feel the ambiance of times past. Mature foliage, palm tree shutters, and a metal roof give this home charm at every turn. As one of the first homes built in this historic neighborhood, it carries a true piece of Englewood’s story. (Yale Street was once an original cattle road!) Being sold turnkey furnished, this is the perfect winter getaway. Inside, the updated kitchen is bright and full of light, with butcher block counters, teal lower cabinets, upscale stainless appliances (the refrigerator and dishwasher are newer), and a huge pantry. All common areas feature NEW luxury vinyl plank flooring for easy maintenance. Windows and doors have been updated, and hurricane shutters are included throughout. Three bedrooms offer plenty of room for guests or hobbies, both bathrooms are updated, and an inside utility room adds everyday convenience. The oversized corner lot offers driveways off two streets and plenty of room for your RV or boat, all behind PVC privacy fencing that encloses the entire backyard. A 1,000 SF red clay herringbone patio is ready for entertaining, and crushed shell landscaping across the front yard and driveways completes the true Old Florida look. Recent updates include a freshly painted exterior, a new electrical panel, a new water heater (2022), and termite pods that are regularly checked to keep the home termite free. Stroll to Dearborn Street for shopping and dining, or head just a few blocks to watch the sunset over Lemon Bay. It’s quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to hear acoustic music drifting from the Open Studio, and when the wind is right, you can smell the salty bay air. Location, charm, major updates, and priced right! Make this your winter getaway or full-time home and own a wonderful little piece of Florida history. Schedule your showing today!
