Seller actively seeking a backup contract! Renovated sanctuary in the heart of everything! Set within the light shade of tall oaks & gorgeous rare-for-the-area maple tree, this generous split plan 3 bedroom, 2 bath home features a huge master retreat with two walk-in closets, built-in vanity, ensuite bath & large sliding glass doors to the 31x15' screened-in lanai overlooking a very private backyard. The updated kitchen with breakfast bar shares communal space with the large family room (and dry bar!), the same oversized patio & more garden views from the rear windows too. Yard is fully enclosed for your furry fidos who will likely also enjoy the impressive assortment of woodpeckers, warblers & wrens fluttering about as much as you will awe at frequent flyovers by bald eagles high above. Functionally, some favorites include extra storage seamlessly integrated into the front facade, full-sized two car garage with utility sink & side access door to backyard, spacious entry with closet & oversized laundry room with pantry. Newest cost savings include new low-maintenance landscaping, new irrigation system with rain sensors & new ductwork for maximum efficiency. The best cost savings, however, comes with the benefits of the new or newer roof, electric panel, water heater, HVAC & appliances updated in 2018 & 2023... even a brand new driveway too! The coveted enclave of Beneva Woods- conveniently located halfway between the Intercoastal & I-75-is close to most of Sarasota's favorite fun, food & natural beauty. Perhaps sunsets on Siesta Key Beach will be your new evening routine.... For outdoor enthusiasts & nature lovers, a quick 5 minute walk to the quiet nature trails of Red Bug Slough, a 10 minute bike ride through mostly backroads to the Legacy Trail access on Ashton Rd & only 15 minutes by car to Oscar Scherer State Park, the Celery Fields nature sanctuary-& then downtown Sarasota for a taste of the highlife for a change of pace with theaters, opera, galleries & more!
