One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. If a 4 bedroom/3 bath pool home in a convenient location - with shopping, biking and beaches nearby - is what you’re looking for, then you’ve found it! Do you need lots of room? The living space (with tile and laminate throughout) offers a kitchen/family room combo AND formal living and dining rooms, 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 full baths, laundry room and two-car garage. Sliding glass doors provide access to the covered lanai and solar-heated pool from the master bedroom, the living room and the kitchen/family room. The master bedroom bath has two vanities, a walk-in shower and a soaking tub. The fourth bedroom (or office, guest room, or in-law suite) has a full bath and separate entrance from the pool area. Check out the Virtual Tour for a birds eye view of the home and the area. There is a well-based irrigation system, and mature landscaping rounds out the package with bearing Meyer lemon and kumquat trees and a young tangerine tree. This home offers many updates including hurricane impact resistant windows and front doors, a hurricane lanai screen, new hot water heater (2020), refurbished main garage door (2018) and new roof (2015). Located in Bay Oaks Estates, a well-located but secluded community of 143 residences surrounding a small conservation wetland preserve, halfway between Sarasota and Venice. ANNUAL homeowner dues are $150. Nokomis Beach and Siesta Key Beach as well as the Legacy Trail (multi-use exercise trail) and Sarasota Square Mall (Costco) are nearby. There is quick access to Honore Avenue, a new north/south alternative to Tamiami Trail. Schedule your showing today and don’t miss this one!
