...Investor Opportunity with Gulf Access | 229 Stratford Road, Englewood, FL

Discover the potential of this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath pool home located on a double lot with direct saltwater canal access to the Gulf of Mexico. Situated in a desirable Englewood neighborhood, this property offers over 2,200 square feet of living space, ready to be reimagined and brought back to its full potential.

Following the 2024 storm event, flood remediation was completed, providing a clean slate for renovation. The kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry area have been removed, allowing the next owner to design and finish the interiors to today’s style and standards.

Key structural and mechanical upgrades include a 2020 roof, 2022 A/C, and four 120-gallon propane tanks already installed on the property—excellent assets for future system design and efficiency.

The layout includes multiple entertaining areas—living room, family room, and Florida room—with a screened lanai overlooking the sparkling pool and peaceful canal views. The large fenced double lot offers ample space for parking, boat storage, or future enhancements.

Boaters will love the Gulf access via Gottfried Creek, while investors will appreciate the opportunity to restore, rent, or resell in a sought-after coastal location just minutes to Englewood Beach, local dining, and shopping.

Highlights: 2 bedrooms | 2 baths | carport, Over 2,200 sq. ft. under air. Saltwater canal with Gulf access. Roof (2020) | A/C (2022). Four 120-gallon propane tanks. Pool and screened lanai with water views. Double lot—room for toys, garden, or expansion. Remediation completed and ready for remodel. An exceptional investment opportunity in Englewood—ready for your vision.
