POOL HOME WITH MAGNIFICENT LAKE VIEWS! Built in 1996 this well maintained home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, indoor laundry room, family room, living room and dining room with vaulted ceilings and a 2 car garage. The kitchen has an informal dining area and a breakfast counter that separates it from the large family room with wood burning fireplace. The house is on a cul de sac overlooking a lake in one of Sarasota's nicest family neighborhoods with excellent schools. Sliders from the dining room, master bedroom and kitchen/breakfast area open to the large covered lanai and caged pool. There is a large wooden deck that overlooks the lake where you can enjoy outdoor grilling, sunsets or just a peaceful moment. Residents can even fish in the lake as it is owned and maintained by the Homeowners Association and you DO catch fish. The master bath features a Roman bath tub as well as a shower and the second bathroom functions as pool bath. The house is neatly landscaped with 8 different types of palms on the property. There is plenty of storage as all bedrooms have walk in closets. The AC is new (2009) with a UV light and there is a new convection oven in the kitchen. The Paddocks neighborhood is conveniently located within minutes of I-75, Siesta Beach and shopping making it an ideal neighborhood for families, young professionals and retirees alike.
