Step outside to your own private backyard retreat: a sparkling in-ground pool, a covered patio with fire-pit seating, low-maintenance artificial turf and full privacy fencing, all just minutes from the Gulf beaches of Englewood and Boca Grande. Inside, this updated 3-bedroom pool home in the Gardens of Gulf Cove pairs wood-look vinyl plank floors with a remodeled kitchen featuring stainless appliances, wood cabinetry and stone counters. The open living and dining area flows into a bright Florida room, where sliders bring the outdoors in. Bathrooms are refreshed with modern tile and vanities, and a dedicated laundry and utility room adds storage. The community offers two pools, a clubhouse, and tennis and pickleball courts, with shopping, dining, golf and the Lemon Bay waterways close by.
