One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. A private lakefront retreat nestled on 1.8 acres right in the heart of Sarasota! This serene sanctuary provides the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility, inviting you to escape the hustle and bustle while being close to all the amenities you need. Located west of I-75, near Cattleman Road, this property has 4-5 bedrooms, a den/study, 3 bathrooms, and a detached, climate-controlled 1500 square foot garage that accommodates 4-5 cars, offering endless possibilities. The hobbyist will find it a versatile workshop, while the visionary can adapt it to meet their needs, enhancing its potential and value. The main house has a wraparound porch surrounding the first floor, featuring three French doors blending the indoor and outdoor spaces. A great room combines living and dining areas and boasts clerestory and twin picture windows, two-story ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen is fully equipped with nearly new stainless-steel appliances from GE. It has ample cabinetry designed in a farmhouse style, complete with stained glass accents. Additionally, there is a built-in pantry and under-stairs storage for even more convenience. A center island on tiled flooring includes a breakfast bar and extra cabinets for added organization. A separate den/study has double pocket door privacy, window bench seating, and direct access to one of two primary bedrooms. This first-floor suite overlooks the lake and has a built-in closet. This wing also includes a flex room that could be converted into a beautiful walk-in dressing closet (refer to the virtually staged photo). The updated bath has room for an enlarged vanity to accommodate double sinks. This area could be transformed into the ideal first-floor Owner’s suite by integrating these rooms with continuity. A landing on the second floor leads to the bonus room, which overlooks the main living area. The primary suite on this floor has been upgraded and features a balcony and a walk-in closet. A stylish barn door separates the en suite bathroom, which includes a free-standing vanity, dual sinks, and a spacious walk-in shower with a glass door. Upstairs is an updated bathroom and two additional bedrooms, each featuring a walk-in closet, a laundry room, and French doors to a balcony. Step onto one of the two decks to experience stunning sunrises over the lake. The lower deck has just been reinforced and refurbished. The house is said to contain a 3-foot concrete block wall and concrete pads supporting steel floors and beams, originally built to accommodate these beams for added structural support. Surrounded by stately oaks on an expansive piece of land, this remarkable home offers plenty of room for outdoor activities and the possibility of adding a pool without any deed restrictions. So, bring your boat and RV! The location is near Detweiler’s Farm Market, UTC shopping, and various dining destinations. It is also close to several county parks, including the Celery Fields, which borders Ackerman Park. This 360+ acre area is well known to locals for its diverse wildlife and wetlands, providing opportunities for nature watching and exploration. Visitors can enjoy activities such as walking along two boardwalks, fishing, and kayaking.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
