Welcome to Old Forest Lakes, a sought-out neighborhood with long ownership tenure that rarely brings homes to market. A long, paver driveway lined with palm trees and enveloped with mature foliage present this beautiful residence of timeless appeal. High ceilings with transom windows, tile flooring throughout, and wood millwork accentuate every room for an essence of upscale craftsmanship. Bright and spacious, the great room seamlessly transitions into the dining area and impressive kitchen where a stone fireplace adds ambiance as family gathers at the breakfast bar or lounging area. Wood cabinetry, sleek black appliances, a wet bar and a glass cooktop equip the workspace for the chef to craft culinary experiences. Extending the living and entertaining options outdoors, French doors open to a deck that leads to the backyard and Orchid house as well as screened lanai with a shimmering pool and ample outdoor dining/seating areas. Two guest bedrooms grant personal domains to family or visitors while providing versatility to your needs. The secluded master suite is an example of self-indulgence featuring a wealth of built-in cabinetry, closets and en-suite bath. Tend a garden in the backyard, host special occasions, and let the kids and pets roam the yard with peace of mind as this stunning home affords over an acre of quiet, relaxed lifestyle away from the bustle of downtown but within proximity to everything Sarasota offers. Size of lot and neighborhood allows for secondary structures such as Guest House, additional garage etc. The new Legacy Trail head is just a short walking or biking distance from this premier location within Old Forest Lake. Enjoy the lifestyle that so many desire.
