This warm and wonderful central Sarasota home has been lovingly updated for peace of mind. Roof in 2021, AC in 2020, kitchen in 2017 and hurricane windows in 2012. A split plan with an enormous owner's suite with a closet to die for, an en-suite bath (rain shower/double vanity) and even a bonus room that currently serves as a large craft/sewing studio (with laundry). The two guest bedrooms share a bath on the other side of the home, off the charming family room with a wood-burning fireplace and stone mantle with surround sound speakers. The kitchen, updated in 2017, has been outfitted with gorgeous North Carolina cherry cabinets and quartz countertops. The dining room has lovely French doors you can open up to the pool area with views of the forest beyond. Natural light abounds with the new solar tubes that were installed last year with the new roof. The large & deep pool, with a caged lanai, partly covered, is perfect for doing laps or entertaining. Do you have a boat or a large RV? You'll be thrilled to know that on the side of the home, tucked away from sight, is an additional shell-lined driveway to leave your toys with access to water and electric service. Located in a quiet neighborhood with majestic Florida Live Oaks, you will enjoy listening to birds as you sip your morning coffee outside, watching Pileated Woodpeckers swoop, and listening to Red Shouldered Hawks calling as they make circles near their nests. You will forget you are only mere moments from a bustling intersection (Beneva/Webber), where there are boutiques, specialty shops and fantastic dining. Also located a few blocks away is the Legacy Trail. A-rated schools, unlimited shopping, and a short drive to the beach on Siesta Key and to our exciting downtown make this a wonderful choice for your life here in Sarasota. Multiple offers.
