1357 Le Pera Rd Englewood, FL 34223

A Must See custom-remodeled home with a level of space, craftsmanship, and character that is rarely found. Offering 3,058 square feet of living space, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath residence also includes a den, split floor plan, and 2-car garage, creating a flexible layout for family, guests, work-from-home needs, or multi-generational living.
Designed by an owner who is a general contractor, this home has a distinctive Spanish/coastal estate feel rather than the typical Florida remodel. The main living areas feature Saltillo tile ordered from Mexico, including the authentic character marks and occasional animal footprints that make true Saltillo tile so unique. The bedrooms are finished with American Hickory wire-brushed and hand-scraped wood floors in a rich sherry tone, adding warmth and texture throughout the private living spaces.
Custom details continue throughout the home, including Old Chicago Brick accents, built-in features, detailed trim work, and a Dimplex Revillusion fireplace that creates a strong focal point in the living area. These are the kinds of owner-designed touches that give the home personality and separate it from a standard remodeled property.
The large remodeled kitchen is both functional and refined, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a ZLINE drawer microwave, soft-close cabinetry and drawers, and hand-painted tile behind the cooktop from Mexico. The kitchen and laundry room both include custom backsplash details, continuing the upgraded feel into the everyday spaces. Mostly Hansgrohe faucets and shower fixtures add another layer of quality to the kitchen and baths.
The primary suite is privately positioned within the split floor plan and features dual sinks along with sliding doors that open directly to the courtyard area. Just outside, the koi pond and fountain create a peaceful focal point and give the home a private retreat-style setting that feels completely different from the standard neighborhood floor plan. Outdoor living is a major part of this property. The private screened lanai features a saltwater pool, custom pavers, and an outdoor kitchen complete with sink, refrigerator, and grill. It is a comfortable setup for entertaining, weekend cookouts, or simply enjoying the Florida weather without leaving home.
Located in an X flood zone, this home offers another valuable advantage for buyers. Set in the boating-friendly community of Overbrook Gardens, this property has access to an optional, low-cost HOA with a private community boat ramp and no-fixed-bridge access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf. Manasota Beach, Historic Dearborn Street, Wellen Park, downtown Venice, local restaurants, shopping, golf, and everyday conveniences are all just minutes away.
With over 3,000 square feet, 5 bedrooms plus a den, a saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, koi pond courtyard, imported Saltillo tile, American Hickory wood floors, Old Chicago Brick accents, hand-painted Mexican tile, upgraded fixtures, and owner-designed finishes throughout, this Overbrook Gardens home delivers space and craftsmanship in a way that feels refreshingly different.
