An elegant path leads to the charming front porch of this wonderful family home, positioned amid a peaceful and lush setting in Lakes Estates. Built by Lee Wetherington, the split floor plan creates an ideal balance of private and gathering spaces, with three large bedrooms, two full baths, one half bath, formal living and dining rooms and a lovely family room with wood burning fireplace. A neutral color palette and volume ceilings create a feeling of openness, with carpet and ceramic tile flooring throughout the home. The kitchen is complete with stylish cabinetry, Formica counters and newer stainless-steel appliances, while a separate breakfast area invites cheerful mornings. Step outside and you will find an oversized screened lanai and private pool, all enveloped by lush Floridian foliage. A two-car, side-entry garage with extra storage space completes the picture of relaxed living. The Lakes Estates is a highly desirable Sarasota community, offering canopied sidewalks and rich recreation. Residents enjoy a lakeside pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and tennis courts, all within easy reach of Gulf Coast beaches, restaurants, shopping and cultural attractions.
