Set on 1.21 fenced-in acres, the property boasts a new custom saltwater pool with a spilling hot tub, deck jets, and a custom slide, making it an entertainer's dream. This one-of-a-kind white modern-style farmhouse was completely remodeled in 2021, offering a fresh and contemporary design throughout. The spacious home includes four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, all fortified with newer hurricane-impact windows and doors, a brand-new roof, seamless gutters, and a paved driveway with a power gate leading to the backyard oasis.

Inside, luxurious finishes abound, including custom 1x6 base trim, 1x4 window and door casings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, solid core interior doors, and custom built-in walk-in closets. The designer laundry room features premium California Closets cabinetry, white shaker cabinets, Cambria quartz countertops, and more for ultimate organization. Every bathroom has been meticulously remodeled for maximum comfort and style. At the heart of the home, the stunning white shaker-style kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a grand butcher block island, and a hideaway walk-in pantry. Recent upgrades include a brand-new 8' commercial-grade black chain-link fence with blackout privacy screens, installed in December 2023. This $38,000 addition enhances both security and privacy. Located within walking distance to the public beach and served by top-rated Sarasota County schools, this home combines luxury and convenience. Plus, with no HOA or CDD fees, you can enjoy your paradise without extra costs. Don’t miss this unique and beautifully upgraded property!
