ACTIVE WITH CONTRACT. BACKUPS REQUESTED Many family traditions and fond memories have endured in this warm country home in Saddle Creek Estates with OVER 30 MILES of Riding Trails. If you've been longing for a place where you can make and cherish your own family traditions, this home is the best place to start. A traditional farmhouse, the home is beautifully positioned on a 6-acre, oak canopied property. Tucked away from the road, you will begin to appreciate the property when you drive up the picturesque driveway. A wide, wrap-around porch begs you to linger. Inside, you'll first see a lovely gathering room with a wood burning fireplace that is open on both sides, to also enjoy from the formal dining room. The kitchen, with rich wood cabinets and granite counters, is modern and efficient and has its own breakfast area. From the breakfast room, you can step out onto the screened back porch and enjoy the seeing the horses grazing, their tails swaying, sunlight filtering through the trees, and a 3-stall barn with a tack room. On the first floor of the home, there are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a laundry room and an additional room (added in 2003) that can be used as a den, bedroom or family room. A palatial master suite is located upstairs and is complete with a large shower, a separate tub, a large walk in closet and a tiled balcony where you will have a panoramic view of the property. Saddle Creek is an equestrian neighborhood with 30 miles of riding trails. 13 miles to Siesta Key Beach.
