1520 Ridgewood Ln., Sarasota, FL 34231

Enjoy beautiful views of Sarasota Bay from this two-story West of Trail home, minutes from the World-Famous Siesta Key Beach. Built in 1996, it was constructed with poured concrete load bearing walls on both floors. The Main level is upstairs with a Great Room with dramatic 20' ceilings, gas fireplace, and fully pocketing sliding glass doors leading out to a 60'long screened porch that you will love. The kitchen has granite counters, breakfast bar, and a sun-drenched eating nook with aquarium glass windows looking to the Bay. It is an ideal split bedroom plan with a spacious Master bedroom on one side, and two bedrooms with Jack and Jill baths on the other, all with walk-in closets. Off the screened lanai there is an open composite deck for grilling with stairs going down to the pool. The lower level has its own entrance in the garage, and is perfect for an in-law suite, an adult child moving back home, aging parent, or offices, workout room or an entertainment area. Currently it is a separate private space with living and dining areas, kitchenette(no stove), large bedroom and bath, plus washer/dryer. There are sliding glass doors that open to a covered area by the pool. Two air-conditioned storage rooms off the garage are a plus. There are many places in the house to sit, relax, and enjoy a glass of wine with stunning views of the pool, boats, and Sarasota Bay. The location of the house is right around the corner from many shops and restaurants, plus a short bike ride over the Stickney Point bridge to Siesta Key with its 99% quartz baby powder cool sand.
