This rare 3BA/3BA light-filled home is in the middle of a nature preserve with long lake views. The well-designed floor plan flows throughout the house and is enhanced by custom floor tile. The heart of the home offers broad walls for art collections with French doors that open wide to the inviting Florida room with its wall of sliders facing the water. The updated kitchen offers ample cabinet space, granite counters, stainless appliances, a Gas cooktop, a breakfast bar, and built-in ovens. A convenient architectural feature is a pass-through opening from the kitchen to the den/office. The den's walls have built-in shelves perfect for books and personal memories. The primary bedroom and bathroom suite provides ultimate privacy with dual sinks, a soaking tub, a standalone shower, and a deep walk-in closet. Bedrooms 2 and 3 each have their full bath. The 3rd bedroom has two entrances, offering excellent flexibility as a bedroom or 2nd den/office. Ground maintenance is provided by the neighborhood HOA. It is a quiet yet convenient location, just south of the University Parkway corridor, in Sarasota County, 2 miles west of I -75 towards the beaches. Schedule a tour; it is easy. Call and ask.
