About this home
Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the gated community of Bent Tree, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence presents a rare opportunity to buy into one of East Sarasota's most established and desirable neighborhoods at an attractive price point.
Surrounded by mature oak trees and lush landscaping on nearly one-third of an acre, the property enjoys private preserve views and a peaceful, family-friendly setting just minutes from top-rated schools. Beaches, shopping, dining, downtown Sarasota, and University Town Center are all a short drive away.
A scenic, tree-lined drive leads to the 2,393-square-foot home, where vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, skylights, and multiple sliding doors create a bright, open atmosphere that connects seamlessly with the surrounding nature. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features custom cabinetry, generous storage, a center island, and a built-in desk, all overlooking the family room and private, peaceful preserve setting.
Indoor and outdoor living blend effortlessly through the expansive 518-square-foot covered lanai, accessible from the family room, breakfast nook, dining area, and primary suite, making it an ideal space to relax or entertain while enjoying the serene preserve views.
Major systems have already been addressed with a 2021 roof and 2025 HVAC, providing peace of mind. The original bathrooms have been beautifully maintained, offering timeless character and functionality.
The split floor plan provides privacy, with generously sized secondary bedrooms and a spacious primary suite featuring a private outdoor sitting area, sliding door access to the lanai, dual sinks, a separate tub and walk-in shower, and four closets, including two large walk-in closets.
