Property Details

Description

Virtually Staged. Escape to your private 1.3-acre oasis in the highly sought-after, rarely available neighborhood of Braden Pines in Lakewood Ranch! No HOA and no CDD fees. Bring your boats, RVs, trailers, and outdoor toys. The home sits on a picturesque lot overlooking a peaceful, fountain-fed pond, shaded by mature trees and complete with a charming fire pit, brand-new privacy fence, shed, and a grand tree lined driveway. Over $25,000 has been invested in land improvements, including professional tree removal, brush clearing, grading, fresh dirt, gravel, sod, and new grass seeding. This turnkey home has been exceptionally well-maintained with extensive recent updates providing peace of mind for the next owner. New flooring throughout, new hot water tank, freshly painted inside and outside, new privacy fence, new gutters, new remote ceiling fans, new epoxy garage floor and more. New roof in 2025. New AC in 2019. Clear PVC drain lines. The home features a formal dining room and an inviting open layout showcased by an expansive living room, with high vaulted ceilings and a cozy wood-burning fireplace as the centerpiece. The gourmet kitchen includes stunning granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a new French-door refrigerator. Two sets of glass French doors seamlessly connect the indoor living space to a large, covered and screened-in lanai, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxing and gazing out at the peaceful backyard views. The spacious primary bedroom suite offers a generous walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with double sinks and a large, tiled shower. This distinct property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy country-style living on a massive tract of land while remaining just minutes from I-75, top-rated schools, renowned shopping and dining at UTC, and beautiful Gulf Coast beaches. Please note that some photos include virtually added grass to represent what the backyard will look like once the newly seeded grass fully matures.
