Many home buyers dream of a neighborhood like the gated community of Serenoa... it is a quiet street, canopy lined with mature trees and plenty of breathing room. The lots here are HALF-ACRE+, the streets are calm with beautiful, quality homes throughout. It's a gated community with lakes, plenty of green space tennis and pickleball courts with a golf course where MEMBERSHIP IS OPTIONAL. This spacious home is in a perfect location, close to TOP-RATED SCHOOLS, Siesta Key beach, UTC for shopping and dinner, Lakewood Ranch, downtown Sarasota, hospitals and five airports all within about an hour. The house itself is a 4 bedroom, 3 bath, with a den, with a POOL AND SPA. It offers many nice touches including tray ceilings, arched doorways, built-ins, and large windows and many pocketing sliders that let in a plethora of natural light. The TILE ROOF IS YOUNG, INSTALLED IN 2023, POOL RESURFACED IN 2023, NEWER AC SYSTEMS (2023 AND 2024), AND THE HOUSE WAS COMPLETELY REPIPED IN 2024... all of these improvements give the next homeowner peace of mind. Hard flooring spans throughout the home, so it's easy to keep clean and is perfect for pets. In the entry area, there is a formal dining room, sitting area/flex room with pool views and a den. The kitchen is at the center of the house, where the heart of the home should be, and it opens directly up to the family room and a breakfast nook area, where entertaining or family relaxing time is easy. Light colored cabinets, a big island and breakfast bar, a dry bar, a built-in desk, and a walk-in pantry big enough for real grocery runs are gifts that this home offers. You have pool views from the kitchen and family room as well. You will enjoy the large, NEWLY SCREENED, NEWLY PAINTED lanai where there is plenty of room for family and friends, and where you can sit to enjoy watching our Florida wildlife while sipping your coffee or cocktail. The pool is surrounded by landscaping AND plenty of space between homes that gives the wonderful feeling of privacy. The master bedroom is split from the extra bedrooms for privacy. The primary suite has its own pool access, an expansive walk-in closet, and a bathroom with two vanities, a soaking tub, a separate shower, and its own water closet. Two of the other bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and the fourth bedroom is off by itself with its own full bath and a door out to the lanai... good setup if you've got guests or family staying with you. The garage fits three cars and is extra deep, with a wide driveway to match. Storage isn't an issue anywhere in this house. This solid, well-built home is in a sought-after neighborhood where people love living. Come visit in person... come see, come sigh, come make this home your own.
