Experience Old Florida Living on 8+ Private Acres – Now Available with Owner Financing! Step back into a simpler time and embrace the unhurried pace of life. Tucked away on over 8 acres of natural beauty, this unique property features a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath elevated home, a sparkling open-air pool, a 2025 pickleball court, and a picturesque 1-acre pond with a custom fountain, all surrounded by lush, tranquil landscape. Zoned RSF-3.5, the 7.86-acre main parcel includes a charming residence rich with character and thoughtful updates. Two adjoining RMF-10 zoned lots (.46 acres) with access from Tacoma Avenue are included, opening the door to even more potential. This special property is being sold as a package only. Originally built in 1972, the home has been updated for comfort and durability, including a 2023 metal roof, 2022 PGT impact windows, a Generac 24kW whole-house generator powered by a 500-gallon propane tank and water heater (2022-2023) and electrical system upgrade. Downstairs you will find tile flooring, a freestanding fireplace, and French doors. A converted garage with epoxy floors, shelving, a full bath, and laundry room offers versatile space for guests, a hobby room, or entertaining - complete with direct access to the pool and lanai. A spiral staircase leads upstairs where natural light pours through large windows, revealing views of open pasture and trees. The open layout includes a living area with a rustic stone accent wall, a dining room, and a kitchen with butcher block island and generous counter space. Bedrooms include reach-in closets, and the main bath offers a quartz-topped vanity and classic clawfoot soaking tub. Outside, relax on the expansive upper deck, grill dinner beneath the stars, or unwind in the pool surrounded by privacy fencing. A detached workshop barn with dual carports is perfect for storage, or hobby farming. The stocked pond invites you to fish, watch the birds, or simply enjoy nature. This is a rare opportunity to own a slice of Englewood’s past, just 5 minutes from Walmart and 10-15 minutes from Englewood Beach. Even more potential awaits—the adjoining property (MLS# D6139475) is also available. Buy both and enjoy over 10 private acres, two homes, multiple workshops, and endless room to live the Old Florida lifestyle you've always dreamed of.
