A Very Special Home with Full Renovation
An elegant path leads to the charming front porch of this beautifully renovated family home, positioned on a large corner lot amid a peaceful and lush setting in the highly desirable Lakes Estates neighborhood of Sarasota. Built by Lee Wetherington and fully renovated, this one-story open-floor plan creates an ideal balance of private and gathering spaces, with three large bedrooms, an additional fourth bedroom/office, two full baths, one half bath, formal dining and vaulted living rooms with a lovely newly updated electric fireplace and mantle. Interior and exterior painting were included in the renovation.
A neutral beachy/ocean color palette and volume ceilings create a feeling of openness, with new ceramic tile flooring throughout the home. Four sets of floor to ceiling sliding patio doors bring an abundance of light into the home. The newly renovated open kitchen is complete with stylish cabinetry and mother-of-pearl cabinet handles. Updates include a huge nine-by-five island, new natural stone counters, decorative tile backsplashes, and new stainless-steel appliances. The kitchen also boasts a large bar area with decorative upper and lower cabinets and a stainless-steel wine refrigerator. All bathrooms, laundry room, and kitchen include neutral matching natural stone countertops and new cabinetry.
Decorative steel plantation shutters were added to the living room, bedrooms, laundry room, and primary bathroom. New light fixtures, chandeliers, and fans were replaced throughout the interior and exterior of the home. Step outside and you will find an oversized screened lanai and private pool, all enveloped by lush Floridian foliage. Complete repainting of the interior and exterior of the home was completed. A new pool deck and a saline system, pool pump, and pool heater were included in the recent renovation.
A two-car, side-entry garage with new epoxy floor coating and extra storage space completes the picture of relaxed living. Extensive landscaping was included in the renovation of this home. The Lakes Estates is a highly desirable Sarasota community with a low monthly HOA fee, offering canopied sidewalks and rich landscaping.
