3504 Brookline Dr., Sarasota, FL 34239

Escape to a private oasis in this beautifully updated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Forest Lakes Country Club home, a well established community just minutes to world-class destinations such as Siesta Key, Downtown Sarasota, and adjacent to the Legacy Trail. Pride of ownership is evident throughout the property. Inside, a stylish gourmet kitchen was designed with elevated features including solid wood cabinets, quartz and granite counters, induction cooktop, Advantium oven technology, Liebherr refrigerator/freezer, and Blanco faucet system. The open and spacious floor plan is ideal for entertaining and takes full advantage of wall-to-wall views of the lush and tranquil designer-landscaped backyard (fenced) with custom cascading waterfall and concrete pond centerpiece. Sit with a beverage and a book inside the expansive screened-in lanai/porch and enjoy the relaxing sound of the falling water in the pond. On warmer days or during an afternoon rain, enjoy those same views inside the home surrounded by wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling impact glass for complete comfort while maximizing the views. This picturesque scene was thoughtfully created using tropical fruit trees and natural Florida plantings, LED timed lighting system (front/rear yards), and new timing system (2023) for the general and micro-irrigation installation. The front of the home includes paver driveway and walkway, mature canopy trees, and xeriscaping for an aesthetically pleasing and eco-friendly landscape. For peace of mind and energy savings, the home is equipped with hurricane IMPACT WINDOWS and sliders, tile roof (main portion) with newly installed flat roof on southern half of home, AC and hot water heater (2022), and custom floor coating in the oversized garage. Sarasota County schools rank among the top in the state. This recent "Yard of the Month" winning home is not in a flood zone and is sure to impress. Note: Living area square footage is not accounting for the fully enclosed Florida room surrounded by impact glass.
