Renovated, move-in ready, 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in DeSoto Lakes! This is a home, with both a main living area and a large family room for example, that will allow you to arrange and utilize the space to best suit your needs and style. The eat-in kitchen has lots of cabinets and counter space and has just been totally redone - - - new white cabinets, stainless steel appliances that have never been used, granite counters, recessed lighting, and a new stainless steel sink and faucet. The Florida room off the master suite overlooks the large partially fenced backyard, the fire pit, and the paver patio. The large utility/laundry room offers a lot of additional storage space. There are tile floors throughout. The roof was replaced in 2014. The AC was installed in 2017 and the water heater in 2016. Other recent updates include fresh paint inside and out, new vanities and toilets in both baths, new AC ducts, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and interior doors. But best of all is that there is just a sense of tranquility that you get as you look out from inside this home. Maybe it is that the large windows offer wide open views of the nicely sized yards that surround the home - - - or maybe it is because, over the attractive black aluminum fence that runs along the back lot line, is a 26 acre privately owned preserve. De Soto Lakes is in the desirable north Sarasota area, close to everything and almost exactly halfway between downtown Sarasota and the UTC mall and I-75. Living here, you will have easy access to countless restaurants, boutiques, galleries and theaters, to the Sarasota airport, and to our world famous beaches.
