1550 BARBARA PLACE

ENGLEWOOD, FL 34223

Tucked away in the peaceful Oxford Manor neighborhood, this beautifully maintained two-bedroom, two-bath residence is a true celebration of Old- Florida charm with just the right touch of Mid-Century Modern style. Located just two miles as the seagull flies from the pristine Gulf beaches of Manasota Key, this home offers relaxed coastal living in a tranquil, established setting. Recently enhanced with a new roof (2023), the home blends timeless character with modern peace of mind. Inside, the lovingly restored Terrazzo flooring flows throughout, preserving the home’s authentic Florida roots while providing cool comfort, durability, and effortless style. The open-concept kitchen is light and bright, designed with both beauty and efficiency in mind—making it naturally the heart of the home. Ample Shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a center island with a sleek vent hood create a space that’s as functional as it is inviting. A charming window seat adds warmth and character, while the nearby dining area transitions easily from casual meals to more formal gatherings. The kitchen opens seamlessly to a spacious living area, where recessed lighting adds a soft, welcoming ambiance and enhances the home’s easy flow from room to room. Adding to the unmistakable Old Florida vibe is the Florida room—a beloved classic—perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or simply enjoying views of the lush surroundings. Each bedroom offers a private, updated bath with fresh new vanities, while beautiful original ceramic tile has been thoughtfully preserved as a nod to the home’s heritage. All bedroom closets feature built-in organization, maximizing space and everyday convenience. Throughout the home, Hunter Douglas shades add style and light control, while Bahama-style aluminum shutters provide additional peace of mind during inclement weather. Outdoors, lush tropical landscaping, supported by an irrigation system, surrounds the home, and a brick paver patio creates the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining or starlit evenings. A tool shed and dedicated outdoor storage offer plenty of room for beach toys, bikes, and gear—because coastal living should always be easy. The home is located in an X-flood zone, meaning no flood insurance is required, an added bonus for both comfort and savings. This is more than just a home—it’s a laid-back Florida retreat where Old Florida soul, mid-century influence, and thoughtful updates come together just minutes from the beach. Inviting, efficient, and rich with character, this is Florida living at its finest.
