Don't miss this spacious, super clean and move in ready home in the popular neighborhood of Forest Lakes, near Beneva and Bee Ridge. This home has been well maintained and features a split bedroom plan ideal for a family or multi generational living. Along with a generous living room, dining room and family room areas, the 3 season lanai provides over 400 sq ft that will be the envy of your friends. The kitchen is open to dining room and family room, features maple cabinets that were handmade in 2009. There are engineered Bamboo floors throughout the living areas, several new windows added in 2013, new roof in 2016, seamless gutters and water heater in 2018, HVAC in 2019. You'll marvel at the extra closets and storage options around the home and garage, plus bedroom closets are already outfitted with 'organizers.' The back yard is fully fenced and has plenty of room for a pool, a swing set, a garden or all three. (And there are two well established Thai mango trees in the front yard that you'll cherish.) Its an easy walk to Publix, bus stop, banks, restaurants, HomeGoods or even the gym from this central location. Its just 15 minutes to Siesta Key or Downtown Sarasota. Forest Lakes is a real gem. Friendly, well established and just the kind of place you'll want to call home.
