About This Home
As of April 2023Lush, private oasis in the lovely River Forest neighborhood. This sought after community lines the banks of Phillippi Creek and is about as centrally located as you can possibly be in Sarasota. Precisely in the middle of the North and South bridges to Siesta Key, this home is 10 minutes to just about everything. Inside, the house feels spacious but private with it's efficient floor plan. A cozy family room is framed around a beautiful mid century brick fireplace, flanked by the kitchen and dining room. A proper living room is set just off the foyer and is lined with glass doors that provide unobstructed views of the vibrant pool area. Perched on almost a 1/3 of an acre, the home is set to one side of the lot, giving room to a large side yard with plenty of space for an accessory dwelling unit, detached secondary garage, full-blown outdoor entertainment area, or any other amenity you can think of. Or, just keep it as a the private little zen garden that it is. This 3 bedroom/ 2 bath, spacious home has relaxing views of the pool, surrounded by lush, tropical landscape, from almost every room. An A+ school district, young families throughout, and quiet winding streets make this an ideal neighborhood for a family. A community boat dock is available to you to dock your boat to pick up passengers, refill the cooler, or grab a forgotten item at home for your day on the water. You'll be directly across the street from The Landings Shopping Center, boasting a brand new Publix grocery store, the wildly popular EoS Gym, and the largest selection of amazing restaurants and cafés of any center in Sarasota. This neighborhood is a gem if you're looking for quiet walkable streets, friendly neighbors, a close-to-the-water vibe, and close proximity to restaurants and shopping.
