6741 Island Creek RoadSarasota, FL 34240Sale Price: $750,000

To no fault of the owner (previous buyers under contract nearly 3 months and couldn't sell their own house) this home is back on the market! Their mistake is your opportunity! BRAND NEW ROOF with 25 year warranty! A pool home that is the ideal size, condition, and layout for a family of any size. Living just outside of the hustle and bustle west of the interstate in Sarasota (ranked #5 Best Place to Live in the U.S. '23-'24), while still being near all the action (minutes from downtown Sarasota, Siesta Key, St. Armands Circle) allows a sense of tranquility that cannot be matched. This home sits at the very end of the cul-de-sac in the community, providing the best location in the subdivision. Enter into the home via beautiful tall doors and let the natural lighting show you the beauty of a home built in 2007 (when having a distinctive/individualized home was still important). Tray ceilings throughout a home with tall ceilings will give visual satisfaction each time you enter your home. The master bedroom is a fulfilling size at approximately 275 square feet, with a 70 square foot walk-in closet. The master bath provides a his-her feel with separated sinks, and also dual shower heads in what is truly a walk-in shower. The bathtub has such a zen feeling with its positioning in the middle of the bathroom. Another great feature about the master bedroom is the door leading to the patio, which gives off great natural light and easy access to the patio, back yard, and of course the heated pool. The kitchen has a plethora of cabinet space, a deep sink, a bar area for quick bites and social gatherings, and plenty of lighting options for any lighting preference. A full laundry room on the first floor makes it convenient to do laundry, fold clothes, and take it right to the master and second bedroom. The patio has a full size pool with pavers providing a warm feel, a built-in cook space including a built-in grill, and a shaded area for when your tan is on the verge of burn. There is hardwood flooring on the stairs and throughout the second floor. Two bedrooms, and a secondary living room upstairs with a built-in sink/bar area give the owner a great opportunity to entertain upstairs and downstairs. A balcony on the second floor overlooks the neighborhood and has beautiful sunrise views facing the east. To top all of this off, the home is in a subdivision that has an annual HOA fee that many homeowners pay monthly (see Lakewood Ranch's HOA fees), and as stated above has a unique, quality look and feel in a post-Millennium home that you will not find in the cookie-cutter homes built today (see Lakewood Ranch).

The total square footage of the home (not air conditioned but total including garage and patio) was estimated. The A/C Square footage is exact per tax records.
