No detail overlooked in this stunning 4-bedroom, 3-1/2 bath home with large office and immense bonus room that offers unlimited possibilities. Expansive sliders, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an abundance of single-hung impact windows offer magnificent wide lake views throughout this home's beautifully sun-lit rooms. Wide open floor plan and soaring 10 to 12-foot ceilings offer a seamless flow from indoor to outdoor living spaces. Incredible updated chef's kitchen with newer Kitchen Aid appliances has prep island, butler's pantry and bar area that open into the breakfast and family rooms, creating the ideal plan for entertaining family and friends.  Relax in the recently resurfaced pool or spa with picture-window pool cage that creates wide, seamless lake views.   The spacious master suite includes a dressing area, two large walk-in closets and a bay window.  Compare to any property on the market! About 4,000 square feet of living area and 5,500 square feet of total area, double crown molding, beautiful trim work including custom leaded-glass entry doors, decorative ceiling details, hickory wood flooring, 3-car garage with newly epoxied floors, extra concrete paver parking areas, and almost ¾ of an acre of beautifully landscaped land on private quiet street with minimal noise and traffic. AND, perhaps equally important for young families or animal lovers, is the fully-fenced play area with gates at each end. A VERY rare find in a gated community!  Two air conditioning units with five separate zones and thermostats, with new high efficiency 16-SEER unit installed in 2020 and new gas 73-gallon Rheem water heater in 2021.  Both the interior and exterior of the home were painted 2-1/2 years ago.  The third garage bay has been designed for dual purpose as a gym or flex-room with zoned air conditioning.  With The Preserve at Heron Lake you truly get the best of both worlds, … an exclusive gated community of only 32 homes with estate-sized lots and magnificent landscaping but conveniently located to I-75, shopping and restaurants, and in a top-rated school zone.  An amazing lifestyle awaits you with the dining, shopping and cultural amenities of downtown Sarasota and the famous Siesta Key Beach (rated #1 Beach in the country) only 20 minutes away!
