One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Set on 1.1 private acres with peaceful lake views in the deed restricted Country Creek community, this 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 2,962 sq ft Sarasota home delivers a rare combination of space, privacy, and long term flexibility that is increasingly hard to find in the Sarasota real estate market at this price point. The open floor plan with high and vaulted ceilings fills the home with natural light and creates a sense of scale that sets it apart from comparable Sarasota homes for sale, while the split bedroom layout, large private office, and separate den make it one of the most adaptable floor plans available for remote workers, growing families, and multi generational households in Sarasota, FL. Full quartz slab countertops, a custom oversized quartz island, and soft close cabinetry anchor a kitchen built for both Tuesday dinners and holiday gatherings for twenty, with ceramic tile flowing throughout the entire home for easy upkeep and a clean, cohesive look. Every window has been upgraded to impact rated, insulated, low E glass, a metal roof was installed in 2021, and a hurricane grade front entrance complete a storm ready package that offers real structural confidence and meaningful homeowner's insurance savings. What truly separates this property from virtually every comparable listing in the area is the expansion potential: the 1.1 acre lot permits construction of an attached ADU (accessory dwelling unit) and an attached garage addition, making this an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a multigenerational home in Sarasota, a property with rental income potential, or simply the ability to grow into the land over time, and fencing is permitted across the full property for those wanting to enclose the yard for children, pets, or added privacy. Outside, a screened in ground pool and generous outdoor living space extend well beyond the home's footprint, complemented by a landscaped side yard with mature and unique plantings, while a three car garage and extended driveway handle multiple vehicles, a boat, or guest parking without compromise. Situated minutes from Siesta Key Beach, downtown Sarasota dining and arts, Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, and top rated Lakeview Elementary, Sarasota Middle, and Sarasota High School, with easy I 75 access for commuters and those relocating to Sarasota from out of state, this is a home designed to grow into, celebrate in, and make lasting memories.
