Property Details

Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature oaks in a wooded, estate-style neighborhood, this beautifully remodeled three-bedroom, two-bath pool home offers privacy, thoughtful upgrades, and an easy indoor-outdoor Florida lifestyle. Set on a spacious fenced lot backing to a peaceful preserve, the property feels like a private retreat while remaining conveniently located near UTC, I-75, downtown Sarasota, area beaches, and a nearby community park with a recreation center and playground. Double entry doors welcome you into a bright, open-concept interior featuring gorgeous wood-look tile flooring, fresh paint, ceiling fans, and both formal and casual dining spaces. The updated kitchen includes shaker cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range with hood, and a comfortable eat-in dining area. The split-bedroom floor plan provides added privacy, with the primary suite positioned separately from the guest rooms. A sliding glass door opens directly from the primary bedroom to the pool, while the remodeled en-suite bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, double sinks, private water closet, dual walk-in closets, and an electric privacy shade. Two additional bedrooms can be closed off with a pocket door to create a private guest wing and share an updated bathroom with a walk-in shower. Outside, enjoy the screened pool and spa, covered outdoor grill area, paver patio, generous seating space, and peaceful preserve views. Surround-sound speakers extend onto the pool deck, creating the perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing among the surrounding nature. This home has been extensively remodeled and upgraded in 2025 with a new roof, garage door, drywall, electrical, plumbing, R-8 ductwork, R-38 insulation, interior and exterior paint, paver patio, new screens, and a rescreened pool cage. Additional improvements include new sliding-door rollers, indoor laundry, a 2024 washer and dryer, an 18-SEER air-conditioning system with three-zone control with variable capacity and transferrable warranty, a hot-water recirculation system with timer, a water-heater time clock, generator gas and electrical connections for future use, a 240-volt garage outlet, an additional 240-volt outlet on the west side of the home, and exterior outlets on both sides of the property. A buried 120-gallon propane tank supplies gas to range, dryer, and outdoor grilling area. With its extensive renovations, private natural setting, flexible floor plan, and impressive outdoor living space, this move-in-ready home delivers the comfort, function, and Florida lifestyle buyers have been searching for.
