This beautiful custom-built home offers over 3,000 square feet of living space on a quiet street backing up to a private preserve, with the added benefit of an expansive backyard ideal for gatherings, play, pets, or future outdoor enhancements—without the maintenance or expense of a private pool. Major updates include a 2020 roof, new HVAC systems (2023 and 2024), and fresh interior and exterior paint (October 2025), all adding tremendous value.
The impressive entry features a $10,000 custom-manufactured Italian front door, welcoming you into a spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath layout with a flex room and 3-car garage. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor with a split-bedroom design, while the upstairs fourth bedroom suite offers endless possibilities for guests, hobbies, or a private retreat. The flex room off the entry can easily serve as a home office or fifth bedroom.
Inside, enjoy tile flooring in the main living areas and carpet in the bedrooms, with sliding doors from both the formal living room and den opening to an extended paved lanai—perfect for hosting larger gatherings and enjoying the peaceful preserve views and lush, private landscaping. The gourmet kitchen features wood cabinetry, corian countertops, and stainless-steel appliances, seamlessly connecting to the den for comfortable everyday living and entertaining.
Instead of maintaining a private pool, residents enjoy resort-style neighborhood amenities, including two recreation centers, a tropical lagoon-style pool, heated lap pool, fitness center, playground, nature trails, and acres of preserve and wetlands—ideal for an active, low-maintenance lifestyle. Just outside the gates, lighted tennis courts, parks, and the convenience of University Town Center, Lakewood Ranch, I-75, Sarasota-Bradenton Airport, and downtown Sarasota await.
Offering the perfect blend of location, space, privacy, and flexibility, this home is ready for your personal touches.
