About this home
**Price Improvement!** Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the gated community of Bent Tree, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers a rare blend of privacy, architectural character, and connection to nature. Surrounded by mature oak trees and lush landscaping on nearly one-third of an acre with private preserve views in one of East Sarasota's most desirable gated communities, the home is close to top-rated schools and just a short drive to the area's beloved beaches, shopping, dining, downtown, and University Town Center.
A scenic, tree-lined drive leads to the 2,393-square-foot home, where vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, skylights, and multiple sets of sliding doors create an airy sense of openness and allow natural light to flow throughout. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, a tray ceiling, generous storage, desk, and a center island overlooking the spacious family room and wooded backyard. The expansive 518-square-foot covered lanai seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, and is accessible from the family room, breakfast nook, dining area, and primary suite, perfect for taking in the private preserve setting.
Recent improvements include a 2021 roof and 2025 HVAC. The home's original bathrooms remain beautifully maintained, offering buyers the opportunity to style the space to their personal preferences over time. A split floor plan with nicely-sized bedrooms provides privacy, while the spacious primary suite includes a secluded outdoor area, dual sinks, a separate tub and shower, and four closets—including two impressive walk-in closets. ***Note: Wallpaper has been removed since photos.
With its non-cookie-cutter architecture, low HOA fees, no CDD, and optional country club membership, Bent Tree is a picturesque and walkable neighborhood surrounded by natural Florida beauty, an inviting place to call home.
