Under contract-accepting backup offers. Virtually Staged. RARE IN-TOWN WATERFRONT ACREAGE — NEW CONSTRUCTION MEETS OLD FLORIDA CHARM Set within a charming, established Englewood setting, this rare 1.28-acre waterfront property on Rocky Creek Canal offers a level of space, privacy, and direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway through two bridges that newer communities simply cannot replicate. Opportunities to own this much land on navigable saltwater—just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences—are nearly impossible to find. This brand-new coastal cottage is a true standout, blending modern construction with the relaxed character of Old Florida living. Located just 3 miles to the beach by car or a scenic boat ride away, this home delivers the ultimate coastal lifestyle. Thoughtfully designed, the residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, soaring 10-foot ceilings, and a dramatic 14.5-foot cathedral peak, creating a bright and airy interior. Built for both beauty and durability, the home includes impact windows and doors, spray foam insulation, a concrete stem wall foundation, Hardi siding and soffits, Azek trim, and a 5V metal roof. Tongue-and-groove porch ceilings add warmth and timeless architectural detail. Inside, the open-concept layout is enhanced by engineered hardwood flooring on the upper level and elegant ceramic tile below. The chef’s kitchen is designed to impress, featuring a 9-foot island, custom cabinetry, and a statement hood vent, making it ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a built-in reading nook overlooking your expansive acreage. The spa-inspired ensuite offers a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities with LED mirrors, and a spacious walk-in closet. Step outside to your resort-style pool and expansive patio, already plumbed for an outdoor kitchen. The generous outdoor space is perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A composite dock extends into the canal, inviting you to fish, boat, or unwind while taking in the tranquil water views. With western rear exposure, you’ll experience breathtaking Florida sunsets night after night. Located in the Englewood Gardens Subdivision, with optional membership (if available) to the Englewood Gardens Beach Club, this property offers added coastal lifestyle appeal. With ample room for a detached garage, RV parking, or future expansion, this property delivers flexibility rarely found in newer developments. Adjacent Lots 2A & 2B are also available, offering an additional .90 acres for those looking to create a larger private estate. This is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity where new construction, expansive land, and prime in-town waterfront living come together in a way that is truly unmatched.
