1538 Eastbrook Dr., Sarasota, FL 34231

Backups offers encouraged. The Oyster Bay neighborhood of Eastbrook is a lovely enclave of 42 homes off Camino Real. It is conveniently located between the two Siesta Key bridges, close to The Field Club, just south of the hospital and near all that downtown Sarasota has to offer. This Ruth Richmond-built home is on .40 acres with a very private and lush backyard. The sellers improved the home after their purchase in 2005 with extensive renovation, which included extending the owners' suite, adding a bath and a spacious walk-in closet. They also added Pella impact-resistant windows and doors and Birch engineered hardwood floors throughout the bedrooms, halls, living and family room and a new roof. There are now three bedrooms, three full baths and a large office with extensive built-in cabinets. There is another room off the owner's suite that could be a nursery, hobby or exercise room or additional office. The family room has vaulted ceilings, custom built-in wood cabinets and a wood-burning fireplace. Two sets of French doors open from the family room to either the screened-in patio or directly to the lovely backyard. The open living/dining room is off the kitchen. The home features lots of storage spaces with a large pantry as well as a wall of closets on the guest wing. The backyard is fenced. Some of the foliage includes an orange jasmine tree, several tree ferns and a majestic bald cypress. There is a well for the irrigation. The water heater was installed in 2018. There are two AC units, one installed in 2020 and the other in 2016. A brick driveway leads you to your future home and this well-established community.
