Beautiful weathered grey laminate flooring throughout this beautiful home gives you the feeling of being right on the beach. The spacious living room with new sofa and new accent chairs, tables and 42” flat screen TV (already set up with a Roku) feels cozy and light as the natural light from the large windows flows throughout the home. Manatee Cove is truly the perfect cozy spot in Paradise for your vacation or get-away! Relax and enjoy a cup of morning coffee or tea on the large patio under the Sun Sail Canopy overlooking the large backyard or light up the night at the firepit. The landscape is lush with Floridian flora and greenery nestled under huge oak and fir trees. The village of Old Englewood is a short 4 block stroll into town for dinner.
