Come in, kick off your shoes and stay awhile! This light-filled 3-bedroom, 2-bath Sarasota BLOCK home has an easy, comfortable feel and a floor plan that lives much larger than its 1,725 square feet. Vaulted ceilings and open living spaces give you room to spread out, gather with friends or simply relax and with a 2022 ROOF and NO HOA fees or restrictions, there’s even more to love. The kitchen is right in the heart of it all, with white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, plenty of storage and counter space, and a breakfast bar perfect for morning coffee or chatting with the cook. There’s also a sunny breakfast nook plus a separate dining area, so you can keep things casual or set the table when company comes. Open the sliders and Florida living takes over. The screened lanai leads to a beautifully landscaped backyard filled with mature tropical plants, lush lawn and plenty of privacy. Garden, entertain, enjoy dinner outside or find your favorite shady spot with a good book,this is a backyard you’ll actually want to use. The primary bedroom enjoys wood-look laminate flooring and direct access to the screened lanai, while a cleverly placed pocket door can close off the two secondary bedrooms and guest bath from the main living area, creating a private guest wing when you want one. Even the garage gets a little extra attention, the two-car garage features a finished floor and screened garage doors, making it a clean, versatile space where you can let the Florida breeze in while keeping the bugs out. And then there’s the location. You’re tucked into an established Sarasota neighborhood without an HOA telling you what to do, yet convenient to shopping, dining, I-75 and Sarasota’s incredible beaches. Comfortable, flexible and wonderfully easy to live in, this one just feels like home.
