Description

Located in one of Sarasota's highly sought-after areas, the private neighborhood of Woodland Park is surrounded by mature trees and lush vegetation. This custom built Lee Wetherington pool home sits on a peaceful cul-de-sac, offering a premium oversized lot with stunning lakefront views. This newly renovated, spacious and inviting split floor plan features 3 bedrooms, a dedicated office/flex room, 2 full bathrooms, and a 2-car garage with durable epoxy flooring. Upon entering, you’ll be welcomed with vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light pouring through five sets of sliding glass doors, creating a seamless connection to the outdoor living space. The screened-in paved lanai and pool area overlook the tranquil lake, offering the perfect setting for relaxation or entertaining. An extensive renovation completed in December 2024 includes a brand new kitchen with shaker cabinets, waterfall quartz island, countertops and backsplash, modern hardware, wine fridge, high-end lighting and pot filler. New LVT flooring flows seamlessly throughout the house while a stunning floor to ceiling slate fireplace makes a grand focal point. The secondary bathroom received a complete makeover with gorgeous tile and new double sinked vanity. A new roof was installed in 2019 and carries a 25-year transferable warranty in addition to 2 newer HVAC systems (2018/2017) with an optional maintenance agreement, and a newer hot water heater (2019). Woodland Park is known for its serene atmosphere, no CDD fees, and low HOA costs. Conveniently located, it provides easy access to Sarasota’s best offerings, including the Legacy Trail just a few blocks away, I-75 (3 miles), Downtown Sarasota (5 miles), parks, shopping, restaurants, beautiful beaches, and top-rated schools. This home is being sold as-is, with the option to purchase select furnishings. Elevated prior to construction, the property experienced NO issues/flooding during recent storms, offering peace of mind for future owners.

    " I live in the Meadows, just a few minutes from this home which was my family home where I raised my children. It is a rental. This area is growing fast. The new University Pkwy. shopping mall is a big plus. The entire area has almost every top store to shop at now. Doctors and medical needs have come to this area too. No more driving to the Ssta Mem Hospital area. Dr's Hospital has brought many doctors to this area. I have lived in this area since 1982 and have watched it grow. Home prices will go up because of all the new stores opening and so many other needs for shopping are now here. This is a quiet neighborhood, speed limit is 25 mph. Safe for kids, pets and nice walks in the evenings. It is an affordable neighborhood to rent or buy in."
  • Keith N.
    "This community has Colonial Oaks Park within it, which is a beautiful, multi-use park with a playground, tennis courts and lovely public rooms available for community use. They are often used for yoga, jazzercise and other classes and programs. We love the family and pet friendly spirit of the neighborhood. On the weekends there are always a few great yard sales, too!"
  • wyatt s.
    "Small development just off Fruitville. Quiet streets Close to shopping and dining. "
  • Corbett D.
    "This neighborhood is a bit of a hidden gem, forgotten by the new massive communities with beige colored houses as far as the eye can see. There is real character here in the tall oak lined streets and numerous lakes. Also, the community park, cared for by the county, is a tremendous feature. Everyone must drive through this neighborhood at some point in there Sarasota travels."
  • rockwell4325
    "Excellent location. Secluded, Large lots, very well kept homes. Very pet friendly. One mile to Sarasota Christian School, (Pre-k thru 12th grade) within three miles of Brentwood Elementary, Bishop Nevin's/ St. Martha's, and McIntosh Middle. Within five miles of Tatum Elementary and Cardinal Mooney High School. Convenient to shopping, (Target, Publix, Home Depot, Lowes, Beall's, Burlington Coat Factory, etc., etc.!) and fast food, restaurants, Colonial Oaks Park, and the Celery Fields. Easy access to I75. This is close to it all, yet very quiet and secluded neighborhood. No through traffic. Only five minutes to Doctor's Hospital and ten to fifteen minutes to Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Like I said, close to everything! Kids in neighborhood range in age from six to young college age. Incredibly nice and friendly neighbors. "
