3122 Lakeside Cir Parrish, FL 34219

Wise men say, “a house is made of wood and stone, but only love can make a home.” If you only knew the amount of love this home has felt, and the countless smiles these walls have seen, then you too would quickly realize how special this property is. Making its 1st debut to the market, 3122 Lakeside Circle has been a family treasure since its construction. Lasting memories have been created, and an abundance of happiness has filled this cherished retreat. Tucked behind the gates of one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods, your new abode is the epitome of quintessential Florida living. As you make your way through the winding streets, windows down with fresh air flowing and romantic Spanish moss swaying, an overwhelming sense of peace comes over you. Ancient, towering oak, pine and palm trees form a canopy as warm sunlight peeks through. Old Florida charm is alive, and the lush grounds are adorned with vibrant blooms and the kindest of critters. If character is what you’re longing for, your search stops here because homes in River Wilderness are bespoke and charming in
every way. As you approach the almost half acre of land, a circular driveway and 3-car garage enrich the curb appeal. Once inhabited by a U.S. Marine WWII Veteran who proudly served his beloved country, alongside his high school sweetheart and bride of nearly 74 years, this home has stood the test of time. Now it’s ready for a new generation of love and contemporary touch, for the potential is apparent. Whether your plans are to make this your full-time residence, a wise investment opportunity or utilize as an escape from the harsh winters, bring your creative visions to life! Upon entry, pride in ownership can be felt and the space is inviting. Your eyes are instantly drawn to the sliding glass pocket doors where breathtaking, panoramic vistas await you. Prepare to spend days floating in the sparkling pool or decompressing in the spa. The lanai will become your favored spot to entertain and unwind, setting the stage for sumptuous sunrises, sunsets and water views. Relish in the tropical climate year-round, where sunshine is aplenty! Sip your cocktail of choice and grill out the freshest catch while you gather with loved ones. After all, you’ve earned it. The ideal interior layout embodies the perfect mix of functionality and livability. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom, one specifically that can serve as an in-law suite, as well as a European style half bath and true exterior pool bath. The refrigerator, dishwasher and 1 of the 2 ACs were replaced in 2021. The 3rd car garage spot has been converted into a bonus room, making the under air square footage larger than what is listed. What was originally a spacious master closet, now functions as an office. Both conversions are reversible. A golfer’s utopia, River Wilderness is home to a well-renowned 18-hole course and a Country Club that is currently undergoing a tasteful remodel. If you value an active lifestyle, you will enjoy the private boat ramp offering direct access to the Manatee River, fitness center, Olympic-sized pool, tennis, bocce ball, pickle ball, hiking trails and RV/boat storage. The location is savored for its remote serenity, yet close proximity to Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota where fine dining, boutiques, a lively arts scene and the #1 beach in the U.S. is all at your fingertips. Welcome home to your new oasis…where “smackers and smiles” will live on forever.*Listing Agent related to Sellers.*
