he Woodlands of Bent Tree is a special place as it is not your typical neighborhood. With large lakes and mature trees, the community feels very "northern" and the residents value their large lots and sprawling homes. Gated and convenient to shopping, the interstate and a 15 minute drive to the famed Siesta Key Beach, the location is highly coveted. This lovely, 3,700 sqft home has just what today's buyer hopes to find. Great curb appeal, an inviting circular drive for guests and a side-entry 3-car garage for the family. There are large, main rooms with soaring ceilings making it perfect for entertaining and an oversized master suite with a sitting area and a separate office nearby. Three additional bedroom suites provide space for everyone else and privacy abounds. The large kitchen with its generous cabinetry and great workspace is the heart of the home. The huge family room connects beautifully so that everyone feels a part of what is going on. Nearly every room opens up to the vast pool and lanai area making it feel as if the outdoors and indoors become one continuous living area. Gorgeous, big views of the lake set the mood for serene and relaxed times. Because of the many sliding glass doors and transom windows, there is wonderful light coming inand so the home feels very cheery. This home has been beautifully maintained and many upgrades have been made including newer roof, A/C's, windows, appliances and more.
