Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a bright office loft complete the upper level. Set on over half an acre with rare frontage on two lakes, this property invites canoeing or quiet walks along the nature trail, all amid the charm of a mature Old Florida landscape. A 2020 tile roof, updated well irrigation system, newer HVAC systems, and 2022 solar panels contribute to remarkably low operating costs and insurance savings. The two-car garage, paired with a long private driveway, provides generous off-street parking in this quiet cul-de-sac setting. Hidden Oaks North is known for its quiet, tree-lined streets, low HOA dues (under $50/month), and highly regarded school zoning-all just a short drive to Downtown Sarasota and the area's top-rated beaches and attractions.
