LISTED BELOW APPRAISED VALUE! Located in the highly sought after community of Forest Lakes Country Club Estates, you will find the perfect home to use seasonally, as an investment, or full time residence. This is a very active community which you can be involved with as much or as little as you desire, with an optional HOA. They host several social get togethers including golf cart parades, potlucks, holiday parties and more. If you are an avid golfer or trying the game for the first time, The Palms at Forest Lakes Golf course is just across the street, and part of the community.  Rates range from $25-$75 depending on number of holes and time of day. Golf membership rates are some of the lowest in the area! Set on a huge lot, this home is setback over 50 feet from the road, making street noise very low. Your neighbors are also spaced far apart as each lot is quite large.  If additional vegetation and landscaping were incorporated to the landscape design, you'd add even more privacy.  Stepping inside you will find all the vintage features typical of a Florida 1960's ranch, including terrazzo flooring in some of the bedrooms, large sliding glass doors, huge covered lanai, split floor plan, and original stove top and oven. The spacious master suite leads out to the covered lanai and is large enough for a king-sized bed, has a walk-in closet, double vanity, and separate shower/commode area.  Other key features include  a tile roof, oversized side-loading two car garage with an additional refrigerator, and an additional circle driveway for added parking. This is your opportunity to live just 10 minutes to downtown, yet reside near some of Sarasota's most loved shops and restaurants, with Pinecraft just to the north, and the commercial complex of Webber and Beneva to the south. This home has been used as a rental over the last several years. The tenants have recently moved out and the home has since been deep cleaned, the interior has a fresh coat of paint and the roof has been power washed, making this property light, bright and airy.  If you're looking for a good value, don't miss out on this opportunity!
