Description: Rare opportunity to purchase a lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in Cedar Hammock, a desirable central Sarasota neighborhood with low HOA fees and close proximity to the interstate, University Town Center, Fruitville shopping center and situated directly across the street from Fruitville Park. The home has been thoughtfully designed with a split bedroom floor plan and open concept living space with volume ceilings. As you enter, you'll appreciate the oversized front windows that flood the living space with natural light and catch your first glimpse of the grand screened lanai through the rear sliding glass doors. Complete with a new all-weather Trex composite deck, black lanai cage, new board and batten siding and cozy string lights to set the mood, this space is ideal for entertaining or relaxing in the sun or under the stars. The lanai has sliding doors leading to the living room, primary bedroom and one of the guest bedrooms so you can take full advantage of that indoor/outdoor Florida lifestyle during the cooler months. The backyard is fully fenced for complete privacy, which also makes this a great home if you have pets. The kitchen has plenty of space for a breakfast table or rolling island and a nice sliding glass door which leads to another new Trex deck space where you can sip your morning coffee. The primary suite is spacious and has convenient access to the screened lanai. Its en-suite bathroom has been fully remodeled with modern hexagon tile floors, new shower, gorgeous wood vanity and even a separate makeup vanity. The guest bedrooms are good size, and the guest bathroom has been recently updated as well. The entire home has been outfitted with tall modern baseboards and door and window moulding, and has been fully repainted inside and outside. Other notable updates include newer HVAC (2021), newer water heater (2019), new black stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher, Google nest thermostat, and nice wood blinds on all windows. Lastly, the inside laundry and 2 car garage can be tough to find at this price point! The work bench in the garage conveys, as do the newer storage units on the side of the home.
