2.5 Acres of Opportunity Just Minutes from Englewood Beach! This is the perfect time to make this charming two bedroom, one bathroom Englewood Gardens home your own. The property offers the option to purchase a membership to the Englewood Gardens Beach Club, providing access to Englewood Beach along with a bayfront boardwalk and dock, bayside kayak storage and launch, a clubhouse, picnic tables, patio and gazebo with gas grills, Wi-Fi access, special events, and the ability to reserve the clubhouse for private gatherings.
