About this home
This is not your typical Englewood remodel. 1155 Forest Dr is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence that has been completely reimagined with a modern contemporary design you simply won't find anywhere else in the area. From the moment you step inside, the dramatic skylights command your attention — natural light floods the living spaces and plays off the beautiful new vinyl flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the home. Floor-to-ceiling windows line the main living areas, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior while framing the lush tropical surroundings.
The kitchen has been fully redesigned with sleek cabinetry, a flush-mount range hood, and designer finishes complemented by a custom wood slat feature wall. Both bathrooms have been taken down to the studs and rebuilt with modern fixtures and clean, sophisticated lines. Every detail feels considered and intentional.
The outdoor living is where this property truly separates itself. A fully enclosed courtyard and pool connect directly to a private cabana house — all under one continuous screen enclosure. The cabana features a thatched ceiling with exposed beam trusses, string lighting, a ceiling fan, and a mounted TV — an exceptional space for hosting or simply unwinding in total privacy.
Adding to the property's versatility is a brand new detached garage, just completed by the current owner. Whether it's a workshop, additional storage, or a place for toys and projects, it's a rare addition that most homes in this area simply don't offer.
The lot itself is .62 acres — an oversized, deeply private parcel with mature oaks, palms, and tropical vegetation creating an enveloping canopy that gives the entire property an effortless, resort-like feel. Impact-resistant windows (2021), a newer AC system (2019), a durable metal roof (2006), and relined plumbing round out the practical upgrades. Located minutes from historic Dearborn Street, Englewood Beach, golf courses, pickleball courts, and multiple boat ramps with direct access to open water. This is a one-of-a-kind property — schedule your private showing today....
