About This Home

As of January 2025

Price Reduced!! Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to own this beautiful home in the Paddocks East neighborhood just east of 75.

This home is situated on a spacious corner lot with an oversized lanai and fenced backyard complete with mature trees and Florida landscaping. The home boasts a split floor plan with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, separate formal dining room plus a home office/den and 2-car garage.

As you enter the home through the glass paned French doors, you will immediately appreciate the large entryway with high ceilings and the many windows that give this home a bright and airy feel.

The cozy home office/den is the first room upon entry and includes one of the many sets of French doors that open out to the lanai for a courtyard-like view.

The tranquil primary suite includes his and her closets and an updated bathroom with double vanity, immense bathtub and separate shower.

The kitchen is complete with 'touchless' faucet, granite countertops, center island with storage, wood cabinets with under-cabinet lighting, hidden trash/recycling cabinet and stainless steel appliances. There is also a 2nd refrigerator/freezer in the garage that is included in the sale.

The living room includes a beautiful stone-accented wood burning fireplace with mantle, high ceilings and ceiling speakers have already been installed and are ready for your surround sound system. The main living area boasts an open concept so you can easily entertain from the living room into the kitchen.

The two other bedrooms and second bathroom are situated at the far end of the home giving you and your guests privacy. The second bathroom has an updated vanity and another entry door to the spacious lanai. The laundry room includes a washer and dryer along with plenty of cabinets, shelving and hanging space for all of your laundry needs and provides extra storage space.

The home has gleaming 18" tile floors throughout the main living areas and 'wood style' laminate flooring in all three bedrooms. The garage includes built in storage cabinets, a utility sink and the additional refrigerator/freezer. Also equipped with a Ring doorbell and front/back Ring cameras for peace of mind.

Deed restricted neighborhood with plenty of places to walk the dog, ride your bike, jog or view the abundant wildlife of the area including deer! This highly desirable community provides a private and quiet retreat but is just minutes away from all Sarasota has to offer!

Walking/biking distance to the bird watching tower on Raymond Rd, Celery Fields and Big Cat Habitat. Just a short drive to the brand new Publix Super Market at Fruitville Farms and the many restaurants and shops at The Fruitville Commons. There is so much nearby - schools, shopping, dining and entertainment. This home is truly a gem, you don't want to miss this opportunity.
