House buy in Southgate Florida

Enjoy waterfront living in this Ranch-style house located on over 1/3-acre lot next to Phillippi Creek. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 2-garage home, part of the Forest Lakes Country Club Estates, is not in a flood zone. As you walk up to the double-door entrance, you will pass a charming courtyard garden. Once inside, you will love the welcoming space with a kitchen and dining room and an oversized, glassed-in Florida room with amazing floor-to-ceiling views of Phillippi Creek. The glass sliders across the back wall, as well as all the windows in the home, have been replaced with hurricane impact glass within the last 10 years. There is a split bedroom floor plan for maximum privacy and the oversized master suite has a large walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. Mexican terracotta tile runs throughout this block-construction home. The enormous backyard is open and full of possibilities and gives access to 100 feet of water frontage. Recent updates include a new AC in 2019, roof in 2006, and new AC ductwork in 2015. A great example of a home that offers the best of Florida's indoor/outdoor lifestyle, you are close to fun activities such as kayaking, fishing, boating, paddleboarding and canoeing around the Sarasota waterways. You are also minutes away from world-class dining, famous beaches, shopping, golfing and downtown Sarasota. Ref: 36113-A4572061
