One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. NO HURRICANE DAMAGE.  This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has been COMPLETELY UPDATED. The spacious interior, with crown molding and baseboards, was FRESHLY PAINTED in 2022. A NEW HVAC was installed in 2023. It features a great room floor plan. The kitchen opens to the family room on one side and the dining room on the other, allowing you to visit and converse with guests while preparing meals in this lovely space. With a plethora of white cabinets, including a built-in wine rack with glass storage, stainless appliances, A NEW DISHWASHER (2023) and a wide swath of countertops, this kitchen will delight any home chef. The master suite has French doors to the screened patio, a large walk-in closet, and a beautifully updated en suite bathroom with a huge walk-in shower. The second and third bedrooms are good sized, and the second bathroom has also been carefully updated. All the bedrooms have wood-look vinyl flooring, and the main living area has tile laid on a diagonal. Outside you will find a large pavered patio that runs the full length of the house. This area was RESCREENED IN 2023. Beyond that you will find a fully fenced yard, big enough to install a pool if you wish. There are gates in the front fencing on each side of the house, large enough to pull a boat or RV into the yard. Add to this a NEW Kinetico whole house water softener/filtration system, a high-end security system with two 360 degree rotating cameras and doorbell cam, 3rd nail installed for HIP roof and you will know you have found yourself a place to call home. Kensington Woods is located close to everything Sarasota has to offer.  It is a short drive to The Mall at University Town Center, Mote Marine Aquarium (and new research facility when finished), Benderson Park, Bobby Jones Golf Course, I-75, Siesta Key Beach, and Anna Maria Island. While located in the heart of it all, it still enjoys a quiet, peaceful location, as it is away from cut-through traffic. This home is NOT in a flood or mandatory evacuation zone.
