About This Home
As of February 2025Located in one of Sarasota's highly sought-after areas, the private neighborhood of Woodland Park is surrounded by mature trees and lush vegetation. This custom built Lee Wetherington pool home sits on a peaceful cul-de-sac, offering a premium oversized lot with stunning lakefront views. This newly renovated, spacious and inviting split floor plan features 3 bedrooms, a dedicated office/flex room, 2 full bathrooms, and a 2-car garage with durable epoxy flooring. Upon entering, you’ll be welcomed with vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light pouring through five sets of sliding glass doors, creating a seamless connection to the outdoor living space. The screened-in paved lanai and pool area overlook the tranquil lake, offering the perfect setting for relaxation or entertaining. An extensive renovation completed in December 2024 includes a brand new kitchen with shaker cabinets, waterfall quartz island, countertops and backsplash, modern hardware, wine fridge, high-end lighting and pot filler. New LVT flooring flows seamlessly throughout the house while a stunning floor to ceiling slate fireplace makes a grand focal point. The secondary bathroom received a complete makeover with gorgeous tile and new double sinked vanity. A new roof was installed in 2019 and carries a 25-year transferable warranty in addition to 2 newer HVAC systems (2018/2017) with an optional maintenance agreement, and a newer hot water heater (2019). Woodland Park is known for its serene atmosphere, no CDD fees, and low HOA costs. Conveniently located, it provides easy access to Sarasota’s best offerings, including the Legacy Trail just a few blocks away, I-75 (3 miles), Downtown Sarasota (5 miles), parks, shopping, restaurants, beautiful beaches, and top-rated schools. This home is being sold as-is, with the option to purchase select furnishings. Elevated prior to construction, the property experienced NO issues/flooding during recent storms, offering peace of mind for future owners.
