Nestled in a tropical paradise, this home, in the gated community of The Hammocks, envelops you with a light and airy feeling from the moment you step through the front doors. In 2018 the sellers made improvements to the kitchen which has been upgraded with gorgeous granite countertops, wood cabinets that have been painted in a creamy white finish, stainless steel appliances, and beautiful light fixtures. New carpet was added in the main bedroom and the interior of the home was painted at the same time. The washer and dryer were also replaced in 2018. There are architectural niches and arch ways, crown molding and columns dividing the living room from the family room and kitchen. This 3 bedroom home also has a bonus room and an office. A great house for entertaining with a dry bar off the kitchen and formal dining room to serve your guests as they relax by the fireplace in the living room or enjoy the view of the pool. Most of the house surrounds the pool area and the lush landscaping that surrounds the oversized, corner lot provides plenty of privacy for swimming and dining under the cover of the outdoor kitchen. Paver brick tiles were added in 2016 to the pool deck and to the driveway. Low fees make the Hammocks a great community in which to live. Rothenbach Park and 5 golf courses are all nearby. The close proximity to 1-75 makes it easy to get to area beaches, parks, UTC Mall and the city of Sarasota where you can take advantage of all the dining, shopping, recreational and cultural offerings of this vibrant downtown.
