Sarasota, FL 34238

PRICE REDUCTION ON THIS GREAT PROPERTY. Willowbrook is one of the finest gated, maintenance-free communities in the Sarasota area. This 3 BR, 2 1/2 bath home is nestled on a premium end lot purchased by the original owners in 2001. It overlooks a reservoir surrounded by a Nature Preserve. The minute you walk in through the double etched-glass front doors you will notice the lanai and lake beyond where many species of birds and wildlife abound. The wonderful home is the OPAL model, custom-built for its original owners in 2001 by Lee Wetherington. It features custom Cherry cabinets, bookcases, an entertainment center and separate dining buffet w/granite-top and overhead glass display cabinets. Note the large crown moldings and high ceilings throughout. The owners spent two months out of the year in this home, so the Stainless appliances with 5-burner GAS stove purchased in 2019 are like new. The Hot Water tank was purchased app. 2017 or 2018. The HVAC is original but was rebuilt and components replaced. There is a transferrable HVAC Service Agreement. The primary bedroom is huge with a custom "bump-out" den/ office and hardwood flooring. A large en-suite bathroom features double sinks, vanities, a soaking tub and separate shower. Sliding glass doors from the primary bedroom lead out to the lanai, while another door opens to the private garden space with curved exterior wall. You can plant and garden to your heart's content or let the HOA maintain it as it stands. The lanai has a hot-tub (condition unknown).There's even a shower in the lanai. Grab your towel and walk just a few steps to the heated community pool and its amenities. A two-car garage w/utility & broom closet rounds out your needs. A little cosmetic work will bring this lovely home up to date or enjoy it as is until you decide. You will enjoy this desirable two-street cul-de-sac community as much as its residents. House being sold "AS IS".
