This spacious John Cannon pool home, offering almost 3,700 square feet of living space, features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, an office, living room, dining room, family room, laundry, and a 3-car garage. The sellers have enhanced the property by extending the lanai, adding paver bricks, resurfacing the pool with Pebble Tec, and adding a new pool cage and gutters. The tile roof was recently replaced, and a new dedicated AC system has been installed on the second floor. The kitchen boasts recently refinished cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a large pantry, and a natural gas stove. Granite countertops offer plenty of space for seating and serving. The master bedroom with two walk-in closets, overlooks the pool and preserve and features an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, built-in vanity and dual sinks with abundant counter and storage space. On the other side of the home are 3 bedrooms, a shared bathroom for two of the bedrooms, and a third bathroom that also serves as the pool bath. Upstairs is an additional bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. This room could also be used as a game room, workout room, or second office. The property provides a great sense of privacy, as it is practically surrounded by the preserve, with no homes in front or behind. You can enjoy the serenity of your backyard with only the birds and deer, for company. The Hammocks is known for its low HOA fees and no CDD fees. Ideally located near top A-rated schools, the Pine View School bus picks students up near the front entrance of this gated community. Dining and shopping options are nearby (a Publix Plaza is less than ¾ mile), plus recreational venues including 5 golf courses: Laurel Oaks (which also has tennis and pickleball), Misty Creek, Bent Tree, Founders Club, Gator Creek plus NXGEN indoor Golf Studio. Rothenbach Park with bike and nature trails is across the street from The Hammocks and a short drive will take you to Siesta Key Beach, downtown Sarasota, Waterside Place in Lakewood Ranch and the UTC Mall.
