Welcome home to your peaceful country retreat! As you drive through the quiet winding roads in Oak Ford Golf Club, you'll trade the rush of the city for tall pines and grazing horses. In here, it is easy to forget that you are still just minutes from all Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota have to offer. As you enter the front door of this lovingly updated home, you are greeted with calming views of the sparkling pool and the perfectly private backyard beyond. Natural light cascades through the large front windows and the three sets of pocketing glass sliding doors in the rear of the home. Experience the ideal indoor/outdoor Florida living during the cooler months when you can leave those doors to your enclosed lanai open all day long. Attention to detail is evident throughout the home, which has beautiful natural wood accents in the tray ceilings, custom plantation shutters gracing the windows, and modern light fixtures and ceiling fans throughout. Cooking and entertaining is a dream in the remodeled kitchen, with new cabinetry, crisp quartz countertops, brand new stainless steel appliances, convenient cooking island, and tranquil views of the pool and backyard. The kitchen faucet has a water filtration system as well. The bathrooms have been updated with new vanities with matching quartz countertops, and each of the bedrooms are spacious with wood floors in excellent condition. Boasting a new roof, new hot water heater, new appliances and newer HVAC, you can purchase this home worry free. There is plenty of space for all, with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and over 2,500 SF of air conditioned living space, not to mention the bonus space in the enclosed lanai. The sparkling pool overlooking the lush and private backyard is the highlight of the home. Stunning oak trees provide shade and the entire 3/4 acre property is extensively irrigated. The lot backs up to a preserve and a long green space, which provides additional privacy and space to explore right out your back door. Whether you are sipping your coffee and watching the sunrise on the east facing front porch, or enjoying a campfire under the stars, you won't even know that you have neighbors thanks to the mature privacy landscaping. The home has an oversized 3 car garage with plenty of storage space and extra parking along the side of the house if you need it. Finally, the sellers are offering a $10,000 credit to help with buyer closing costs or to buy down the interest rate and make those monthly payments more affordable! Just imagine the lifestyle that awaits you here and don't miss this opportunity!
