Under contract-accepting backup offers. Nestled in a prime Sarasota location within a top-rated school zone and east of I-75, this home offers a rare combination of freedom, comfort, and thoughtful features that make everyday living feel effortless. Stepping inside, you’re immediately welcomed by a bright and open layout with soaring 10-foot ceilings, elegant crown molding, and hardwood floors that add warmth to each of the four spacious bedrooms. The living area, boasting elegant bamboo flooring, invites you to relax or entertain with ease, offering uninterrupted views of the sparkling saltwater pool and spa and an expansive screened lanai just beyond the sliding glass doors (rescreened in 2022). Natural light pours in, creating a seamless connection between indoor and exceptional outdoor living. The kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, offering an impressive 27 feet of cabinet space, an additional 9’ custom built-in china cabinet with glass upper doors, a tumbled marble top, and clever pull-out drawers for easy organization. Just past the main living space, the primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with warm hardwood floors and plenty of natural light, leading into a beautifully remodeled en-suite bathroom featuring custom cabinetry, dual vanities, shiplap accents, and textured tile that adds an elegant touch. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully designed with storage in mind — from closets to cabinetry, there's a place for everything. And when it’s time to enjoy the outdoors, the expansive patio invites you to lounge by the beautifully landscaped saltwater pool and spa, which is heated with a newer propane system for year-round comfort. Outside, the home continues to impress. A spacious driveway provides ample room for everyday parking, while the fully fenced yard offers added privacy and peace of mind. On the side of the home, a gated 21x41-foot storage area—equipped with 50-amp power—offers endless potential for RV or boat parking or simply a place to store your toys. With a 2017 roof, less than 1 week new 2025 A/C, and no HOA restrictions, you’ll enjoy peace of mind and total flexibility. Located east of I-75 in one of Sarasota’s top school zones, this property offers more than a place to live — it offers freedom, quality, and a lifestyle you won’t find just anywhere.
