Pride of ownership shines through the moment you enter. Ten-foot ceilings and large windows let in natural light, but the manicured landscaping keeps the inside cool for low energy bills year round. The first thing you’ll notice as you make your way through the foyer is the flowing plan where the dining room and formal living room come together making the home ideal for entertaining guests. Enjoy cooking in the spacious kitchen with plenty of room for cooks. The breakfast bar and eat in kitchen are open to the family room with large sliding doors overlooking the screened patio and the lake beyond. Cozy up to the wood burning fireplace on a winter evening to enjoy the lake reflecting a sunset or grill out on your patio bug free in the summers. The backyard is perfect for bird watching, playing fetch, or catching up with your neighbors. A split floor plan allows quiet enjoyment for everybody in the home. The master retreat also has a beautiful view of the lake and two closets, one a walk-in, for form and function. Split vanities in the bath brings peace to your morning routine and a separate tub/shower invite you to relax in the evenings. The guest bedrooms are roomy, and the guest bathroom was recently remodeled with quartz countertop and a unique vessel sink. This home is situated in the most desirable school zone in Sarasota and only minutes to Pine View, the Legacy Trail, and I-75. The original owners love their home and maintained it meticulously. They can’t wait for you to enjoy it every bit as much!
