Welcome to the St. Charles, a spacious 3 bed, 2 bath property with an open plan and serene views of a lake and preserve.  The great room with a tray ceiling is central to the home and entertaining here can flow into the kitchen or out on to the covered, rear porch, pool, and oversized lanai.  The kitchen has been upgraded with stainless appliances, Corian counters and a decorative stone backsplash.  The adjacent dinette provides space for casual meals but there is also a separate dining room for more formal gatherings.  The split plan provides privacy for the owner's suite with dual walk-in closets, a soaker tub and sliding glass doors to the lanai for that late evening dip in the spa.  Two additional bedrooms allow space for families, friends or roommates.  Rounding out this excellent floor plan are a den, perfect for a home office & overflow visitors and a large utility room with a washer and dryer.  There's a 2-car garage and plenty of driveway space to accommodate your guests.  The roof and AC were replaced in 2022 and the house was recently painted.  This property is being sold Turnkey Furnished so all you have to do is unlock the door and move into your piece of Sarasota paradise.  Stonebridge is an exclusive community nestled within Palmer Ranch, one of Sarasota's premier planned communities.  Residents of Stonebridge enjoy a true neighborhood.  Families spend time together relaxing at the 30' x 50' community swimming pool or picnicking under the large gazebo.  Tucked between lakes and preserves, this sidewalk community offers beautiful views for an evening stroll.  Palmer Ranch encompasses neighborhoods such as Prestancia and Stoneybrook, parks, schools, shopping, restaurants, and natural areas.  The hiking/biking Legacy Trail is nearby and so is Oscar Scherer State Park.  And of course, who could fail to mention the world-renowned Siesta Key Beach. Bedroom Closet Type: Walk-in Closet (Primary Bedroom).
