Don’t miss this traditionally designed, two-story colonial home with 4 bedrooms/3.5 baths on a shaded cul-de-sac in Cedar Creek. The home is eminently liveable as is with lots of upgrade potential. The downstairs floor plan includes formal living and dining rooms, a powder bathroom, and a spacious kitchen with a nook, center island, and plenty of counter space that overlooks a family room with a wood-burning fireplace. Both the kitchen’s sliding door and the family room’s French Patio Doors open to a large lanai and a large pool that is partially secluded by lush palms and tall trees. A laundry room and pool bathroom with shower are also downstairs along with a two-car garage. Modern, stainless steel appliances (GE refrigerator, stove and dishwasher, Maytag washer and dryer) were all purchased in 2018. The central A/C system is powered by a five-ton Rheem HVAC that was installed in 2015. An alarm system covers all external doors and windows. The upstairs floor plan has four bedrooms including a large master suite and two full bathrooms. The master suite has a double vanity that can be upgraded and a bathroom with separate tub and shower stall. Exterior reflects extensive siding replacement and a full repainting. Cedar Creek is an idyllic community known for its New England-inspired architectural variety, winding sidewalks and an abundance of large, shade providing trees. It falls within the Sarasota County line/school districts and has easy access to University Ave and Desoto Rd. Multiple supermarkets, restaurants and shopping centers are all within two miles. The UTC Mall, Benderson Park and the interstate are approximately three miles to the east and to the west it is less than four miles to the SRQ airport and Sarasota Bay. Downtown Sarasota is approximately a 15 minute drive and the beaches are all less than 30 minutes away. Neighbors are warm and welcoming with children often playing in the cul-de-sac. Lovely home, great community, ideal location. Come see it today.
