Under contract-accepting backup offers. Your Private Paradise Awaits! Step into serenity with this fully FURNISHED 3-bedroom, 2-bath POOL home off busy Lockwood Ridge in the hidden enclave of Beekman Place. Enter via the screened-in entry FOYER and your first sight is a captivating view of the PRESERVE beyond the newly screened-in pool and lanai. Some visitors immediately seek out the lanai, seat themselves on the rockingchair love seat, and listen as the breeze whispers through the banana trees and native flora beyond; nature itself seems to speak to you. (At night, sunsets are worthy of a master painter). This space may become your personal retreat from the world beyond: a cafe table and lamp to read by, a fire pit and seating to take the morning coffee on a cool day, or sunbathe in total privacy by the sparkling pool. Entertain effortlessly as at the tiki bar, or grill, and dine under the umbrella-shaded dining set. Return within, and note that almost everything stays with the house: the chandelier, Rugs As Art floral area rug, and Tommy Bahama-style furniture throughout. An Electric Fireplace to take the chill off. Start living the dream before the year is over! LUXURY vinyl flooring in the bedrooms, ceramic tile great room, and wet areas make cleanup easy. The GALLEY kitchen features stunning GRANITE countertops, a breakfast bar, and breakfast NOOK overlooking the pool. Stainless steel appliances, of course. The main bathroom offers TWO WALK-IN closets, a WC cabana, and a mirrored entry hall. Return outdoors and know that timed nighttime lighting highlights flora in the front, and around the pool landscaping. A timed irrigation keeps it all looking tiptop. For Peace of Mind, an electronically-controlled SCREEN slides down to enclose lanai furniture when you have some wind, or are away for an extended time. Finally, the two-car garage is meticulously clean, and has CUSTOM cabinetry to store your tools and toys. Just steps from your front door, see one of the two heated community pools available to you and your guests. Lawn care, basic cable, the two pools, tennis/pickleball and gated security are included in a low HOA. Beekman Place is ideally located just 5 miles from all you love about Sarasota: walk to Publix, Detwiler's, Super Walmart or drive 5 miles east to UTC and I-75. But being so close to restaurants, shopping, St Armands and Lido means it is possible to have all the benefits of Sarasota living, yet avoid annoying out-going traffic. A home warranty is offered with the sale for additional peace of mind. Can be sold UNFURNISHED.
