2255 N BEACH ROAD 12

ENGLEWOOD, FL 34223

NEW PRICE!! Most people think they're buying a beach property. What they're really buying is the ability to walk away from stress. Welcome to Live Oak Landings on Manasota Key, offered turnkey furnished, where the coastal lifestyle you've imagined finally becomes reality. Positioned between Lemon Bay and the Gulf's sugar-sand beaches, this updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhome with a versatile loft offers Gulf-to-bay views and an island lifestyle buyers dream about but rarely find at this price, steps from the beach. Inside, 1,357 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space feels both comfortable and inviting. The open living and dining areas flow naturally together, while the spacious loft adds the flexibility today's buyers value. Complete with a Murphy bed and office space, it easily serves as a guest retreat, home office, hobby room, media room, or additional sleeping area. Natural light fills the home, creating a bright coastal atmosphere that complements the relaxed island setting. What truly separates this property is its location. Live Oak Landings sits directly on Lemon Bay and offers a heated community pool, common-use docks, and easy water access, while Englewood Beach is just across the street. Imagine morning walks on the beach, afternoons by the pool, waterfront dining nearby, and Gulf Coast sunsets just steps from your door. This is not a property that's changed hands repeatedly. The sellers are the original owners of Unit #12, having contracted for its construction in 2000-2001, and their pride of ownership is evident throughout. During construction, they invested more than $50,000 in architectural and contractor upgrades beyond the builder's standard specifications. They also replaced every original window and all three sliding glass doors with hurricane-impact glass, a $25,000 investment that enhances storm protection, energy efficiency, and peace of mind. The owners have just installed a new fence, adding another recent improvement to the property. The home has been thoughtfully updated, including a fully renovated kitchen with upgraded cabinetry, countertops, finishes, and new appliances in early 2024, a new $1,900 water heater installed in June 2026, and approximately $15,000 in furnishings, appliances, kitchenware, linens, towels, and household essentials that are included with the sale, making this home truly turnkey. The private screened and roofed lanai, a $15,000 owner-added upgrade completed after construction, creates a comfortable outdoor living space where you can relax. The community has made significant investments in its future, including new 30-year warranted metal roofs installed in 2023 and full compliance with all SIRS requirements. This fall, new landscaping and extended fencing will be completed with no special assessment. The common-use docks on Lemon Bay are also scheduled for replacement in 2026, and Unit #12's share has already been paid in full, so owners can enjoy the docks with no additional cost. Whether you're seeking a full-time home, seasonal retreat, or investment property, this turnkey townhome offers outstanding flexibility and strong rental potential. Updated bayfront townhomes on Manasota Key with Gulf-to-bay views, beach access, extensive owner upgrades, and major community improvements already completed or funded are becoming increasingly rare. People come to Manasota Key for a vacation. Many wish they never had to leave. Now, you don't have to.
