This could be your Sarasota dream home in Stoneybrook at Palmer Ranch! This well-maintained 3 BEDROOM PLUS DEN/OFFICE home includes several of the most important elements: an over-sized lot with an exceptional long pond view, an excellent split floor plan, and an ideal location in the heart of a beautiful gated community. In 2018 the homeowners wisely invested in several updates including a new roof ($16,250), ten impact resistant windows ($14,425), and electric roll-down hurricane shutters ($15,000). The Trane 15 SEER HVAC system, newer water heater, and the durable polyaspartic coating on the garage floor are other details that you might miss, but they show the sellers' commitment to proper maintenance with high quality products. These features provide peace of mind and set this home apart from most comparable homes that you may see in the surrounding area. For many potential buyers, the most appealing feature may be that this home does not have a pool. The large lot provides plenty of room to add a pool and patio built to 2023 standards, or you can avoid the expense and maintenance and enjoy the heated 50'x30' Stoneybrook Estates community pool which is located nearby. Keep in mind that this home is in in an ideal location close to the beaches, the Legacy Trail, Oscar Scherer Park, shopping, and highly-rated schools. While country club membership is not available with the purchase of this home, nearby Stoneybrook Golf and Country Club is semi-private and non-members may dine at the clubhouse and have limited golf access. The sellers are awaiting the completion of their new residence and wish to close on or around March 31. Some furniture is available under separate agreement. Buyers must view the property on site prior to submitting an offer (no video showings).

Open the doors, pull out the drawers and the shelves in the lower cabinets, and imagine how you will use this great space. The adjoining dinette and family room have a casual feel, and both rooms overlook the lanai and private back yard. The enclosed, air conditioned lanai offers 237 additional square feet of versatile year round living space - perfect for an office, an art studio, a gym, or just a space to open the windows and bring the outdoors in.
