9049 Willow Brook Dr., Sarasota, FL 34238

This Lee Wetherington built 3 bedroom (or 2 bedroom + office), 2 bath home is the hidden gem you have been looking for. Situated in the maintenance-free community of Willow Brook, the curb appeal is lovely, and once you step inside you will find it is even better. Updated, bright and light there is there is so much to love in this squeaky clean home. The kitchen has new quartz counter tops and backsplash, solid wood cabinets, GE Profile appliances, including a gas range, microwave and a built-in air fryer, a breakfast bar and a large adjoining breakfast nook. The master suite has two walk-in closets, and a spacious bathroom with walk-in shower and soaking tub, dual sinks and lots of counter space and cabinets for storing all your personal care products. There are two other bedrooms that offer room for loved ones or guests. Or if you work from home, one can be used for a good-sized office (as it is currently configured). With tray ceilings and crown molding, ceiling fans, and plantation shutters, a gas tankless hot water heater, a new lanai area with natural gas grill, and a 2 car garage with high grade epoxy floor, and within walking distance to the community pool, there is little more you can ask for. But there IS more. The location, in a well-maintained intimate community, is conveniently located near Rte. 41, making it easy to get to all that the downtowns of Sarasota and Venice have to offer, dining and shopping venues, a myriad of recreational and cultural offerings and of course quick access to the area’s gorgeous beaches!
