All 3 bathrooms have also been updated with quartzite countertops and cabinetry, tile, fans, lighting, and miscellaneous bathroom equipment. The separate laundry room has also been tastefully updated. The roof has been replaced in 2017 with barrel tiles and a stable underlayment; its related warranty has been kept up yearly. HVAC and water heater has also been replaced.The pool/spa has been completely resurfaced and transformed into a salt-based body of water, with all new pool equipment, inclusive of heater. Hurricane-impact PGT windows and doors throughout home in 2019. Manicured landscaping with remote sprinkler controls and front lighting. Upon entering the home, one immediately enjoys the lovely view of the lake and private preserve beyond. The rooms comfortably flow throughout the 2,500sf with separate dining and formal living areas. Oversized pocket sliders offer the natural beauty of the outside to become one with the home. The master bedroom is comfortably large, complete with two walk-in closets with built-in shelving & hanging space, and an updated spacious bathroom suite with plenty of storage. The two large guest bedrooms with private bath are just off the family room separated by a privacy barn door made of wormwood. One bedroom has a Murphy bed with twin shelving and cabinet drawers for books, bedding, and the like. The back den/built-in office with Tuscan-styled tiles makes the most of the pleasant water view and wildlife with a large picture window. The room can easily accommodate a fourth sleeping area for guests who can use the adjourning pool bathroom. The private lanai has a large pool and spa, a perfect outdoor spot offering great sunsets along with wildlife/nature. For the handy person, the attached, oversized 3-car garage offers plenty of storage with many practical built-ins and custom cabinetry. The garage floor has also been renovated in 2018 by Gorilla Floors with a lifetime guarantee. The Community Clubhouse provides rentals for larger parties, a heated pool, as well as tennis, pickleball, basketball courts, and a fitness center. The community also offers a book club, bingo, game nights, luncheons, 1st of the month Friday happy hours, and other such social events, if you’re so inclined. This gated all-ages community is east of I-75, convenient to beaches, Sarasota/Bradenton Airport, upscale UTC shopping center and active downtown Sarasota, yet still far enough away from the hustling crowd. All updates made in 2017-2019; still like a brand new home. By appointment only. Serious buyers with proof of funds only. Ready to show in January 2025.??
