Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and bordering a tranquil wildlife preserve, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a 2-car garage offers comfort, charm, and true peace of mind. From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the open-concept design, high ceilings, and durable vinyl flooring throughout—no carpet in sight. The kitchen is light and airy, featuring timeless white shaker-style cabinets, Corian countertops, a central island with bar seating, and brand-new stainless steel appliances that add both style and functionality. Enjoy your mornings on the screened lanai, sipping coffee while listening to the soothing songs of Cardinals, Blue Jays, and even a few colorful parrots. The backyard overlooks lush greenery and tall trees, creating a private, serene retreat where you might spot cottontail bunnies or even a pair of owls settling in for the evening. This home was built to last with Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction and impact-resistant hurricane windows and doors. It's elevated and secure, offering peace of mind during storm season. Additional touches like elegant lighting and thoughtfully chosen drapes give the space a cozy, welcoming feel. Located in the sought-after gated community of Hammock Place, where homes rarely come available, you'll enjoy a low HOA that includes lawn maintenance. This ideal Sarasota location puts you just minutes from I-75, shopping at UTC, vibrant downtown, and some of the area’s most beautiful beaches.
