1711 RIVERSIDE DR Englewood, FL 34223

For the buyer who wants more than a standard waterfront home, 1711 Riverside offers a rare blend of privacy, flexibility, storage, and coastal lifestyle in one distinctive Englewood property. Set along the water with canal views and generous outdoor living space, the home features a connected-yet-private layout with a main residence, a detached mother-in-law suite with its own screened lanai, multiple garage/storage areas, and a hallway/garage connection that keeps the spaces convenient while preserving valuable separation.

This layout creates options that are difficult to find in a typical single-family home. It gives extended family, long-term guests, tenants or seasonal visitors their own private space, while also providing valuable room for hobbies, vehicles, tools, fishing gear, kayaks, coastal gear, and extra storage. For buyers who need more than just bedrooms and bathrooms, this property offers practical flexibility that is hard to recreate.

The main home features bright living spaces, large windows, a centrally located kitchen, and a functional layout that can be enjoyed now or updated over time. The detached mother-in-law suite is one of the property's strongest features, creating a private retreat while still remaining connected to the main home. Its private screened lanai adds another layer of livability, giving the suite its own outdoor space for morning coffee, reading, relaxing, or enjoying the Florida breeze.

Outside, the property delivers the waterfront lifestyle that makes Englewood so desirable, with canal views, paver patio areas, screened outdoor spaces, and multiple places to relax, entertain, fish, kayak, or unwind by the water. From quiet mornings on the lanai to evenings by the canal, the outdoor spaces make the home feel like a true coastal retreat. The detached front garage and additional garage/workshop-style spaces add valuable utility for vehicles, tools, hobbies, storage, and coastal gear.

Located minutes from Englewood beaches, Lemon Bay, historic Dearborn Street, local dining, shopping, and Merchant's Crossing / Publix redevelopment is located at the end of the street. This property offers a rare blend of location, lifestyle, privacy, utility, and long-term potential. Enjoy it as it is, update it over time, or reimagine it into a standout coastal retreat. For buyers seeking waterfront living with true flexibility, 1711 Riverside Dr is a property that stands apart. Some images have been virtually staged for marketing purposes.
