A “Diamond in the Rough” in highly sought-after Southfield! This established neighborhood is known for its pride of ownership, mature trees, and beautifully maintained homes. With only one entrance and no through-traffic, Southfield offers a peaceful, private setting just minutes from everything Sarasota has to offer. This stately brick home makes an impression from the moment you arrive, featuring a circular driveway and a spacious two-car garage. Step through the front door and enjoy a wide-open view straight out to the expansive brick-paver covered lanai and the sparkling pool beyond. This outdoor living area includes a half bath, an outdoor kitchen space, and a convenient pass-through from the main kitchen—perfect for entertaining. Privacy abounds! Inside, tall ceilings frame the formal living and dining rooms on either side of the entry. To the left, a generously sized kitchen, eat-in area, and family room await, complete with a stunning stone fireplace, wet bar, and built-ins. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, beautiful granite counters, and additional storage and counter space beneath the pass-through windows to the lanai. Down the adjoining hallway, you’ll find a spacious laundry room, two additional bedrooms, and a full bath. This true split-plan design places the primary suite on the opposite side of the home. The large primary bedroom is accompanied by a huge primary bath with two walk-in closets. Convenient access to the oversized two-car garage is located nearby. Storage is plentiful throughout this home. Families will appreciate zoning to top-rated schools, including access to numerous charter and magnet options—and, of course, nationally recognized Pine View School.
