10046 GULFSTREAM BLVD Englewood, FL 34224

There’s a lot to love about this home. First of all, it is a Newport home. Newport homes have a 42-year track record built on superior construction, durability, and innovative architectural designs. And this home has been lovingly cared for and maintained by the same family that built it in 1987. It is clean and move-in ready. The furniture is available for $1. Interior features include tile and wood laminate floors. Most rooms are oversized. Three arrays of pocketed, sliding glass doors, windows, and a sunroof illuminate the rooms with soft, natural light. Other interior features include an indoor laundry room, kitchen eating area, king-size bump-out in Master bedroom, split floor plan, dual vanities, and a central vacuum. All appliances are included. The backyard is shaded and privacy is enhanced by a privacy hedge and fence along the eastern property line. A 220 SqFt, concrete patio pad was added in 2000 for bar-b-ques and lounging. All windows are beautifully decorated and storm-fortified by attractive Bahama hurricane shutters. When extended to their natural resting position, they cool the home and prevent fading by blocking direct sunlight. Should a storm approach, each shutter closes in seconds by simply removing a pin. The shutters also enhance privacy by allowing you to see through the shutters, while blocking views looking into the home. This location is amazing on so many levels! First, it sits a on an oversized lot that is 20% larger than typical lots. Second, it is on a corner lot. Third, the county-right-of-way adds an extra 2,500 extra square feet to the front yard. These 3 features enhance your privacy while providing a stately, front-yard setback from the street. Another rare plus is the supersized 55’ driveway that could easily accommodate trailers, boats, trucks, campers, 8 cars for entertaining, or even a Class-A RV. But wait. It gets even better! Remember the good days when neighborhoods had sidewalks and crosswalks? Happy days are here again! The county sidewalk in front of this home literally extends all the way (6.7 miles) to Englewood Beach, and all the way to Port Charlotte to the east. Here is a feature your wallet will love, too. This home is in an X-Flood zone. An X-flood zone is a FEMA designation that recognizes the property as being in a “low risk zone”. The obvious benefit is peace of mind. The financial reward is the huge savings you’ll reap year-after-year on flood insurance. And typically, lenders waive the flood-insurance requirement altogether for X-flood zone homes. That has the potential to save you up to $1,700 annually. Another forward-thinking benefit is that X-flood zone homes like this do not need steps, increasing its stay-in-place accessibility throughout your retirement years. Other features that may provide you insurance discounts include wind mitigation and 4-point reports done in 2021, a hurricane rated garage door, and fire hydrant in front. The yard is eco-friendly and low maintenance. The Bahia grass goes dormant during the (current) dry season, then springs back with the summer rains. The minimal yard work leaves a lot more time to spend on the gorgeous shores, tiki-bars, and aqua-marine waters of our area beaches and countless more area attractions. Should you prefer year-round greenery, there is a well for free irrigation water. Please CLICK the VIRTUAL TOUR for 100+ NIKON PHOTOS, DRONE PHOTOS, and 4K CINEMATIC DRONE VIDEOS!
