About This Home
Located on a quiet cul de sac in the established community of University Pines just off University Parkway, this three bedroom, two bath lakefront home is positioned on one of the finest homesites in the neighborhood. Situated on an oversized homesite of approximately two thirds of an acre and set at approximately 30 feet of elevation in an X flood zone, with approximately 120 feet of lake frontage, the property offers expansive lake views, exceptional privacy, and a truly remarkable outdoor setting that would stand out anywhere. The property is equipped with a full irrigation system supplied by reclaimed lake water, providing an efficient and consistent source for maintaining the mature landscaping and expansive grounds. The home lends itself equally well to full time living, seasonal use, or short term rental opportunities, offering flexibility while the neighborhood itself maintains a quiet, residential atmosphere. From the moment you enter, your eye is drawn through the living space to the elevated pool and patio overlooking the lake. Because of the natural elevation, the outdoor area has the feel of an infinity edge setting, with wide long water views, open sky, and mature trees creating a peaceful and dramatic backdrop. As the sun sets, the landscape changes each evening with beautiful reflections across the water and sky, making the backyard feel like a private retreat. Designed for enjoying the Florida lifestyle, the outdoor living space is truly a standout feature of the home, with a heated saltwater pool, spa, expansive deck area, covered seating, and a fully equipped summer kitchen. The natural height of the lot creates a sense of space and privacy rarely found, giving the entire backyard an almost estate like feel, with a level of openness and tranquility that is difficult to replicate while still being close to everything along the University Parkway corridor. Inside, the home has been lovingly maintained by long term owners and has never been used as a rental. Recent updates include a 2019 roof, 2018 air conditioning system, and a 2024 hot water heater. Wood flooring flows throughout the home, and the floor plan offers a welcoming foyer entry, a spacious living room with views of the pool and lake, and a dining area with windows overlooking the outdoor space. The kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, quality appliances, and a breakfast bar that opens to the dining area, creating a comfortable and functional layout. The primary suite is generously sized with an en suite bath, large walk in closet, and sliding doors leading directly to the pool area. The second bedroom is well proportioned, and the third bedroom is currently used as an office but easily serves as a full third bedroom. University Pines is a small, well established neighborhood of fewer than 80 homes with mature landscaping and long term residents, located just moments from University Parkway, UTC, I-75, shopping, dining, and the Sarasota Bradenton airport. The home carries a Sarasota address but is located in Manatee County, providing additional rental flexibility while preserving the peaceful residential feel of the community. Rental projections are available upon request for buyers interested in seasonal or short term use. Property video, 3D walk through tour, floor plan, and updated four point and wind mitigation report are also available. Call today for a private showing.
