**BACKUPS REQUESTED. **Artist's Retreat in Beautiful Hidden Forest! Whether you're strolling through the tropical garden or basking by the pool while the Moso bamboo knocks gently in the breeze, you'll be sure to appreciate this wonderful family home.A rare find so close to city limits, this contemporary-classic is peacefully tucked among live oaks and lush Florida-heritage landscaping. The 1-acre homesite is a non-deed-restricted corner lot that offers both peace and privacy while the house itselfhas been lovingly maintained.

It's peppered with quiet cul-de-sacs and mature Florida landscaping; this is one of the area's best neighborhoods. This home has been featured on an ABC Channel 7 News Real Estate segment and in Sarasota Magazine. ** HOME FEATURES: Split plan, two master suites, solar heated pool, open and inviting living spaces. 4th bedroom has a separate entrance. 20'x24' air-conditioned outbuilding in good condition currently used as artist's studio.
