About this home
**Priced to sell and full of potential in sought-after Longwood Run!** This three-bedroom, two-bath, two-car garage single-family home is ideally situated on a tranquil lake, offering peaceful water views and exceptional bird and wildlife watching from both the screened lanai and open-air patio.
Built with quality craftsmanship, the home features solid interior doors and a well-designed SPLIT FLOOR PLAN with generously sized rooms throughout, creating a spacious and comfortable layout. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering TWO WALK-IN CLOSETS, an oversized ensuite bath with DUAL SINKS, a large garden SOAKING TUB, and a stand alone shower, along with French doors that open to a very large screened lanai overlooking the pond.
The two additional bedrooms are also spacious, each with extra closet space, providing flexibility for guests, home offices, or hobbies. The functional kitchen layout includes a center island with cooktop, breakfast bar seating, and a bright dining nook set in a bay window. An INSIDE LAUNDRY ROOM with utility sink adds everyday convenience.
While the home needs updates and cosmetic improvements, the bones are solid, with many important improvements already completed. Major updates include A/C installed in 2021, hot water heater installed in 2022, tile roof replaced in 2011, and the third nail roof-to-wall reinforcement was completed in 2020. Additional peace of mind comes from a whole-house surge protector. The exterior was recently painted, and the lanai has been recently re-screened, allowing the next owner to enjoy the outdoor living space immediately.
Located in the well-established, active lifestyle community of Longwood Run, residents enjoy access to Longwood Run Park featuring a baseball field, outdoor basketball court, playground, picnic pavilion, dog-friendly areas (leash required), gymnasium, recreation building, indoor rental space, and both indoor and outdoor pickleball courts.
Homeowners may also opt into membership at the Longwood Run Athletic Club, offering a world-class lineup of amenities including a fitness center, aerobics and dance studios, sauna, restaurant and lounge, pro shop, multipurpose spaces, a resort-style pool with expansive patio, 18 tennis courts, and all-sports courts—perfect for enjoying the Florida lifestyle year-round.
Offered at an affordable price, this lake-front home presents a rare opportunity to update, personalize, and add value in a prime Sarasota location. Bring your vision and make this special property your own.
