Short Sale. Expect the unexpected when you preview this 'must see' oasis of tranquility in popular Forest Lakes Country Club Estates. Ideally located within 10 minutes of downtown and SRQ Memorial, yet only a short drive to Siesta Key or I-75, this large, tri-level property is a "Wow!" from the moment you pass through the private courtyard with bubbling fountain, pavers and lush landscaping to the double door entryway. You'll forget all those cookie cutter homes once you take in the unique features of this custom built property. The entry features a glass block wall and curved staircase leading to a living room that seems to float over the sunken family room below. French doors lead to a balcony overlooking an oversized pool and patio with 2 story pool cage and multiple outdoor seating areas. Character features include a wood burning fireplace in the family room, a breakfast nook off the renovated kitchen, a remodeled master bath and two walk-in closets off the master suite. A row of 9 ft. windows facing the private courtyard floods the home with natural light and views of the moon as you enjoy the remarkable livability of this spacious home. The oversized 2 car garage features golf cart or motorcycle parking as well as a work shop. Landscaping is low maintenance, so this home will always be a source of pride for you and your family. Short sale negotiations will be handled by local attorney. Buyers must be willing to do home inspections within 15 days of homeowner acceptance of offer.
