Year Purchased: 1996
Why the Owner Chose Englewood
We bought in Englewod as it is "Old" Florida, quiet and laid back, but close to everything. The beaches go for miles, and the flora and fauna are all about. Great parks and preserves. Kayaking and fishing in Lemon Bay. No high rises. Four of our friends from Chicago also bought houses there after staying with us, and our parents moved there to retire.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our main house is on two acres of woods so we have unspoiled nature all about and it is always quiet. In the summer we walk the beaches on turtle patrol with a friend, and I usually go kayaking with a local group twice a week. The art scene is great with local art fairs. Lots of good music at local restaurants and bars.
Great beach with restrooms and pay parking. Restaurants, bars and beach shops close by.
Bait and fishing gear available. Rent Kayaks and Jetboats. Fishing piers across the road.
Main street of Olde Englewood. Boutiques, bars and restaurantes, library, Bank of America, art galleries.
Owner's Map of Englewood
I am retired from the travel business, and have travelled extensively in the Caribbean and Mexico. My wife Cheri is a school nurse in Glenview IL so we spend the school breaks in Englewoood, where we have four rental properties, and our home which we also rent from time to time.
