One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Set on 1.1 private acres with peaceful lake views in the deed-restricted Country Creek community, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath Sarasota home offers a rare combination of space, privacy, flexibility, and long-term potential that is increasingly difficult to find. Recent pricing adjustments also create additional flexibility for buyers who may wish to personalize select finishes, enhancements, or future improvements over time, allowing the next owner to tailor the property to their own vision while securing one of the larger and more adaptable homesites currently available in Sarasota. Inside, the 2,962 sq ft floor plan features high and vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, ceramic tile throughout, a split-bedroom layout, a large private office, and a separate den ideal for remote work, guests, or multi-generational living. The kitchen is anchored by full quartz slab countertops, an oversized custom quartz island, and soft-close cabinetry designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Every window has been upgraded to impact-rated, insulated, low-E glass, while a 2021 metal roof and hurricane-grade front entrance provide meaningful storm protection and potential insurance savings. The 1.1-acre lot also allows for construction of an attached ADU and attached garage addition, creating exceptional flexibility for buyers seeking rental income potential, future expansion, or long-term multigenerational living. Fencing is permitted across the full property for added privacy, pets, or recreation. Outside, a screened in-ground pool, generous outdoor living areas, mature landscaping, three-car garage, and extended driveway provide functionality without sacrificing privacy or usable space. Conveniently located near Siesta Key Beach, downtown Sarasota, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, top-rated schools, and I-75 access, this is a property designed to evolve with its owner for years to come.
