5693 Country Lakes Dr., Sarasota, FL 34243

This, surely, is one of Country Lakes most lovely homes. Beautiful curb appeal with meticulously maintained lawns & flowering shrubs & a side garage entry. Pride of ownership shows throughout the entire home. The graceful entryway with tile flooring has lovely views out to the private pool area. There is a separate formal dining room with newer parquet floor & vaulted ceiling where one would be proud to serve any meal. The Living/Great room is huge (31x16) which these owners have artfully divided into two areas with decorative screens. The main area has one whole wall of book shelving, a wonderful wood burning fireplace, parquet floors & is set off with vaulted ceilings. The other area is a cozy sitting area for television viewing. The Kitchen has a large breakfast area at one end with an outside window for great lighting. The master bedroom has sliders going out to a side garden and the pool. The master bath has been remodeled with a large walk in shower with designer tiles & a picture window to the outside that sets this room off. The pool area is a work of art & very much Palm Beach inspired with lovely draperies for a stunning effect & a huge privacy hedge behind the entire pool. For lunch or dinner this would be the place to be. Solar X Film installed (7/11) on all windows & hurricane shutters on the garage & front door.
