Welcome home to comfort, style, and peace of mind in the heart of Sarasota! Step inside and be greeted by a lovely wash of natural light throughout, bouncing beautifully off the elegant mix of terrazzo and wood-look tile flooring. The heart of the home-a fully updated, spacious kitchen-boasts a built-in oven, gas stovetop, and a generous breakfast bar perfect for morning coffee or entertaining with ease. Outside, unwind in a private, almost fully fenced yard with low-maintenance landscaping-ideal for pets, play, or quiet evenings under the stars. Beyond beauty, this concrete block home is thoughtfully designed for efficiency and durability. Enjoy year-round savings and storm security thanks to a barrel-tile roof, impact-rated windows throughout, and hurricane panels for all other openings. The sliding glass door in the primary bedroom offers private access to the outdoors and peace of mind with full hurricane protection. No CDD, low voluntary HOA & flood zone X for extra savings & peace of mind. Entwined within the links of The Palms Golf Club, the always coveted Forest Lakes Country Club Estate is centrally located within a quick drive to downtown, Siesta or Lido Beaches & I-75. Right around the corner to the south, the businesses & delicious restaurants at Webber & Beneva will become your new go-to or head north to Pinecraft for fresh produce, homemade ice cream & the best pies on the suncoast. For fun, ride the Legacy Trail with quick access off Beneva or discover the hidden entrance to a Pinecraft Park trail with the neighborhood! Wherever you go, you'll be happy to circle (or cycle) back home to your lush & private garden sanctuary....
