Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the gated enclave of Bent Tree, this three-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers a rare blend of privacy, architectural character, and connection to nature. Surrounded by mature oak trees and lush landscaping on nearly a third of an acre with preserve views, the home is in one of Sarasota's established golf and country club communities--close to top-rated schools, and just a short drive to the region's renowned beaches, shopping, dining, downtown, and University Town Center. A gated entry through a scenic, tree-lined drive leads to this 2,393-square-foot home, where vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, skylights, and multiple sets of sliders invite openness and natural light. The kitchen, renovated since construction, features custom cabinetry, a center island, ample storage, and a workstation overlooking the family room and wooded backyard. The expansive covered lanai--measuring 518 square feet--seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living through sliders from the family room, breakfast nook, dining area, and primary suite. With a newer roof (2021), new HVAC (2025), and original bathrooms, this residence offers a clean canvas for buyers to design a living space aligned with their tastes. In a non-cookie-cutter neighborhood known for its architectural diversity, low HOA, no CDD, and optional country club membership, this is a rare offering in a desired setting.
