4969 CREEKSIDE TRAIL, SARASOTA, FL 34243

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Light and bright lakefront POOL home in one of Sarasota’s most desirable communities. Step into the freshly painted interior and be greeted by an open floor plan made to feel all the more spacious by the high ceilings and abundance of natural light.  You will likely first notice this home’s crowning feature: the beautiful tranquil pool oasis. Fully screened-in and outfitted with lovely brick pavers (a brand-new French drain system has recently been installed as well), the lanai also features a generous portion covered by a roof extension, so you can be outside but out of the sun if you choose. The pool/lanai overlooks a serene lake allowing for privacy and quiet and viewing the occasional activity of Florida wildlife.  An absolutely picture-perfect setting from which to enjoy the area’s year-round agreeable weather.  Move-in worry free with the knowledge that the roof is only 3 years old and the AC just installed in 9/24. Aluminum hurricane shutters give peace of mind during storm season. This home is arranged in a split floor plan, contributing further to the open feeling and providing privacy for guests and the owner’s suite. A den space can be used as an extra bedroom (it has a closet) but also makes for a great office or study.  Other features of note include all stainless-steel appliances (including a brand-new dishwasher), new washer and dryer, a new custom-made front door with leaded glass, updated vanity in the guest bath, new light fixtures throughout, new ceiling fans in most spaces, new gutters and, recently done landscaping. Carlyle Village is a delightful, desirable, quiet neighborhood within touching distance of Sarasota’s ever popular UTC area, as well as the dining/shopping options of Lakewood Ranch and Downtown Sarasota, and provides easy access to I-75 and SRQ Airport. Carlyle has NO CDD and a minimal HOA fee. The community pool, playground, and multisport court are right round the corner. The nearby Palm Aire Country Club is available to join, with optional membership with four different equity options available, including golf and social. A wonderful move-in ready pool home, convenient to so much of what Sarasota has to offer, this property is fitting for any buyer, whether it be a set of snowbirds, a young family, or anyone who is seeking to enjoy the good Florida-life
