8040 Manasota Key Rd, Englewood, FL 34223

One hundred feet Right on the beach on Manasota Key, this home has been updated to include a touch of its original vibe and modern Euro-styling. It's on a gated half-acre, with fencing and plenty of parking for guests. It's ready to move in, not needing a lick of work. A short walkway over the dune gets you to the beach - a 15- to 20 second walk at most. For fun, you can dip yourself into the pool, run across the sand into the Gulf, and continue that all day until you collapse onto the lounge seating on the 37-foot-wide terrace. The pool has a new salt system, new solar heating, and pool auto-fill and overflow. And there's a large open-air Bisazza shower to get the salt and sand off before heading indoors. Privacy is one of the best attributes of this backyard; tall palm trees and lush vegetation allow you to sunbathe as nature intended, if you so wish. Prepare for sunsets right off your beach. They are spectacular. The wall of new sliding glass doors brings in lots of natural light and fresh air, but thanks to the deep overhang, the house can stay cool. The kitchen's custom marble countertops and a waterfall island create a contemporary family gathering bar, complete with Schott cooktop. All-new flooring runs throughout the house. Two master bedrooms, one on each end of the house. Each has a Bisazza-tiled bathroom and Grohe fixtures.
