Tucked beneath a canopy of mature oaks in Kensington Woods, this updated Sarasota home offers the kind of space, privacy, and character that buyers rarely find in newer construction. Set on an oversized corner lot, the property welcomes you with a wide driveway, beautiful shade trees, and a fully fenced backyard designed for everyday living. Inside, warm wood-look flooring, custom built-ins, recessed lighting, and an open gathering space create a comfortable flow throughout the home. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with painted cabinetry, butcher block countertops, a farmhouse sink, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized island that naturally becomes the heart of the home. The split-bedroom layout offers privacy for family and guests, while the expansive enclosed flex space provides endless possibilities as a home office, gym, playroom, media room, or second living area. Outside, the oversized screened lanai creates a true extension of the living space, perfect for morning coffee, weekend gatherings, or simply enjoying the peaceful backyard setting. Major improvements include a 2021 roof, Trane HVAC replacement, and updated electrical panel, offering peace of mind for years to come. Located in the established Kensington Woods neighborhood, residents enjoy a central Sarasota location just minutes from downtown Sarasota, University Town Center, Nathan Benderson Park, shopping, dining, and Gulf Coast beaches. Nathan Benderson Park features over 600 acres with walking trails, biking paths, kayaking, playgrounds, community events, and a world-class rowing venue. UTC offers more than 200 shops and nearly 100 restaurants, making this one of Sarasota's most convenient locations.
