NEW LOWERED PRICE! On almost an acre of land, along a tranquil pond, surrounded by towering oaks, this large and open midcentury ranch is convenient to everything Sarasota has to offer! Forest Lakes has long been a sought after community with it's central location and large homes and lots, and has only gotten better with the addition of the new Legacy Trail (with trailhead park only a minute walk from this home!). With an attached 1 bedroom in law suite apartment (with separate entrance) this one has income potential, is ideal for multi-generational living, or the perfect home office.This floorplan can easily work as 2 separate units with a 4/2 and a a 1/1 or as one big house as a 5/3 with extra living room and kitchen. A beautiful blend of updating and vintage midcentury with custom details, you will love how the whole house opens with pocket sliders to the pool and multiple outdoor living spaces. Spacious family room with fireplace and built ins throughout. Gather around the huge kitchen island while you host because this home is made for entertaining. Large bedrooms and lots of storage and there is still room for everything! Current owners have a living room, family room, office area, craft room, game room, 2 dining areas setup and more, there are endless possibilities! And that is just inside...outside you will find a large screened in pool with new pump system. screened in side porch, outdoor deck area, a fenced area with a dream custom built playground for the little ones which stays with the home. There is a firepit, swings, and a massive backyard along the pond, with tropical plants all around giving that Old Florida feel that is getting ever harder to find. Yes it is on Webber, but when you pull in off the road to the ample parking and huge circle drive, to the set back house, with it's pineapple lined entrance, you will step inside and forget where the nearest road even is. The birds in your backyard paradise is all you will hear. The in law suite was the garage, but was done in such a way that a storage and workshop in front leaves room for tools and toys, and if a garage is preferable to air conditioned square footage, it is very easily converted back with garage door still in place. The lot also has room for the big toys and a fenced area to store them in with 50amp RV hookup on site. New roof on this home with transferrable warranty as well, AC new 2018, new pool pump, solidly built block home on this high and dry lot. Not in a flood zone. No HOA fee, no CDD, no lease restrictions! Located between 2 great hospitals, minutes to downtown and beaches, walk to restaurants bars shops. Schedule your showing today!
