Stunning 3 bedroom, 2 bath Sarasota tropical pool home, where modern upgrades meet a unique lake front outdoor oasis on an over-sized lot. Flooded with natural light from skylights, the open floor plan flows effortlessly, blending airy living spaces with thoughtful design. Nestled in a quiet yet central neighborhood, this retreat boasts a heated pool, lakefront views, and a lush edible backyard, complete with garden beds and chicken coop, all updated to perfection. Despite the location, this desirable tiny pocket has no HOAs! Inside the Light-Filled Haven: The chef's kitchen dazzles with brand-new quartz countertops, high-end appliances, a 48-inch gas range, and reverse osmosis water at the sink and fridge. Fresh flooring runs throughout, complementing walk-in closets in all three bedrooms. The primary suite offers serenity with an ensuite walk-in shower and a spacious custom closet, while the second bathroom features a deep soaking tub and dual vanities. A bonus sunroom adds flexible space, ideal for a home office or play area, before stepping out to the backyard retreat. Outdoor Bliss Awaits: Dive into the screened-in heated pool with its soothing waterfall, or wander for goodies in the organic tropical garden. The sprawling food forest features mangoes, three banana varieties, mulberries, elderberries, sugarcane, moringa, and so much more more, all nurtured without chemicals. A chicken coop and raised beds elevate the charm, while a unique Pinterest-worthy playhouse (big enough for adults to enjoy those lakeside view sunsets) doubles as a kids' hideout with a slide. Fish for bass right off your lakefront lot, surrounded by wildlife like deer and sandhill cranes.
