On Monday, this home will be pressure washed and painted. This SPLIT-FLOOR PLAN home --with the extra two full bedrooms almost in a wing by themselves --offers privacy both inside and out. The backyard is FENCED for yet more privacy and if you have pets or youngsters, a GRASSY BACKYARD like this makes sense. The kitchen is stacked with ENERGY-STAR appliances in stainless steel and by lovely GRANITE all within a workable space. The Master bedroom and Great Room have SLIDERS opening to the pool and yard. On cool nights, sip a glass or two in front of your WOOD-BURNING fireplace with stone wall which parodies the home exterior. By day, the warm, sunny Florida weather encourages relaxation within the screened lanai next to the sparkling pool. Plantation Shutters in the GUEST ROOMS, pulls or drapes elsewhere, add charm. And what a pleasure to be so near all the shopping and restaurants off Lockwood Ridge and University Parkway. Be conveniently located just a few miles from SRQ airport, University Town Center (where the new aquarium will be built), and about 5 miles west from Interstate 75. Walk to the Lazy Lobster from home for a fine selection of fresh fish, or Yuniku for top-notch sushi. For the beach lovers among us, pick from Anna Maria, Bradenton, Sarasota or Siesta Key beaches, all an easy drive from this dwelling. FURNITURE PACKAGE AVAILABLE under separate agreement.
