Virtually Staged. Rare opportunity in Sarasota's sought-after Forest Creek: Highly coveted, low-fee community in an ideal location near the interstate, the Mall at UTC and downtown Sarasota. This rarely available, Lennar-built "Willow Model" includes a number of upgrades, improvements and even an expansion of the home. High ceilings and an open floor plan. The expansive living and dining areas flow into a chef-ready island kitchen. Cupboards feature pull-out trays and drawers. It transitions seamlessly into the family room for more casual entertaining. Step outside onto the screened lanai, which has been extended by an additional 80 square feet to maximize your outdoor Florida living. A large primary suite includes a bonus room, a large walk-in closet and a spa-like ensuite bath featuring dual sinks, an oversized walk-in shower, and a luxurious corner garden tub. The guest wing is tucked away off the kitchen. It features two comfortable bedrooms—including one that includes built-in desks with filing system and a premium twin Murphy bed. Recently upgraded roof, HVAC and water heater. Also metal roll-away hurricane shutters including four remote control electronic shutters. Air conditioned garage with storage shelves. Pretty lawn in a beautifully maintained neighborhood with no CDD fees and low quarterly HOA fees. You are perfectly positioned for work and play. Zip onto I-75 in minutes, shop and dine at the premier UTC Mall district, explore Benderson Park, Fruitville Park or take a short drive to the cultural hub of downtown Sarasota and its world-famous beaches.
