Ideally located in the heart of one of the most popular communities on Palmer Ranch. Residents of Stoneybrook Estates enjoy the beauty, convenience, gated security and ambiance of country club living without the requirement or expense of being a member of the country club. This home, with 2 bedrooms, a den, and 2 full baths, offers a little over 2,000 sq ft of living space when you include both the 1,612 sq foot interior and the 435 sq foot screened lanai. The 3 panel wall of sliding glass doors visually brings the inviting lanai right into the openness of the main living area. The well laid out split floor plan includes a spacious guest bedroom and a large office/den. The master suite includes a walk-in closet and the ensuite master bath with 2 sink vanities and a glass block enclosed shower. There are laminate floors in all but the kitchen and baths. As if designed for entertaining, the open kitchen will allow the cook in your family to chat with those seated at the breakfast bar, in the living area, and in the breakfast nook or to set a pretty table in the more formal dining area. AND the roof was just replaced in 2023! Stoneybrook in Palmer Ranch is a wonderful location. Not only because it is so close to Siesta Key, Nokomis and Venice beaches, but also because it is so close to SO much! The 20 mile long Legacy Bike Trail, Costco, and the Palmer Ranch YMCA are just minutes away. It is just 15-20 minutes from the heart of both downtown Sarasota and Venice Island and all the dining, theater, arts, cultural events and shopping they have to offer - - - not to mention, easy access to the ever-expanding Sarasota airport. Are you a golfer? There are over 40 public and semi-private courses in the area. AND as a resident in Stoneybrook Estates, you will have some limited ability to play the Stoneybrook golf course and unlimited ability to enjoy the clubhouse restaurant and bar as often as you would like without the requirement or expense of being a member of the country club. Buy this home and buy a wonderful lifestyle.
