Step away from the hustle and bustle of the city and step into this peaceful setting, with an abundance of trees and space to grow just about anything your heart desires on your very own 2 acre parcel. As you drive up the shaded tree lined driveway, you will notice this is not your ordinary home. This unique family home located in the highly sought-after community of Pine Ranch and located at the end of a cul-de-sac features 2,775 square feet across a split floorplan and offers a setup with two bonus rooms. The first additional room, located just off the primary suite, is perfect as an office/nursery or an extra large closet/dressing room for the "Fashionista" in you. The second large bonus room features a murphy bed and kitchenette and could be used as a mother-in-law suite. In the main area of the home, the living room features soaring ceilings and warm Saltillo tile to welcome a quiet conversation in front of the wood-burning fireplace, while the dual sliding glass doors lead to the magnificent outdoor space. The oversized lanai allows for great entertaining. In addition, there?s a pergola for outdoor cooking and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows on cool winter nights. A koi pond with soothing waterfall sounds is surrounded by majestic pines and tropical plants giving it an ?old Florida? feel. Rarely available, Pine Ranch consists of only 33 single-family homes all of which are on more than two-acre plots. Nestled between Venice and Sarasota, the home is a fabulous location just around the corner from a top Florida school ? PINE VIEW SCHOOL for the Gifted ? often listed as one of the best in the United States. Just minutes away from the area?s top-rated and award-winning beaches including Siesta Beach, Nokomis Beach and Venice Beach. For all your outdoor needs, enjoy proximity to The Legacy Trail, Oscar Scherer State Park and Historic Spanish Point. In addition, with shopping and fine restaurants close by, this makes this house one you don?t want to miss!
