Nestled in a lush, professionally landscaped lawn, this well-maintained home is perfect for both the quiet life and active entertaining. With an open floor plan, guests can visit with their host in the beautifully updated kitchen and still have plenty of room to mix and mingle. Large, sliding doors pocket into the wall, allowing the indoor living area to blend seamlessly with the over-sized, covered and screened lanai. Imagine your friends and family gathering for the holidays, a game-day party or birthday celebration, or perhaps an intimate dinner party. And wow, what a great play space for all ages! If you enjoy a good cookout or fire pit, the open patio by the lanai is the perfect place. This home's peaceful, private setting provides a perfect work-at-home environment or the chance to settle in with a good book or your favorite hobby. Updates in the kitchen include granite countertops, stainless appliances, high profile staggered cabinets, built-in window seat, and structural changes that created the open floor plan. Both the roof and the HVAC system were replaced in 2017 and some of the windows have been replaced with high impact glass. An elaborate closet system in the master bedroom makes the most of the walk-in closet. Also included are a full irrigation system, wiring for an alarm system, and garage cabinets and shelving. Conveniently located near plenty of shopping, dining, and I-75 and mere minutes from world famous Siesta Beach, this home is just what you've been looking for!
