DescriptionExperience refined Sarasota living in this thoughtfully reimagined River Forest residence, ideally near the areas treasured coastal and boating destinations. Just mile from Phillippi Estate Park, under a mile to Phillippi Harbor Club, and less than two miles to Siesta Key Beach, this home offers an effortless blend of privacy, access and lifestyle. In a discreet neighborhood known for its multiple access points and ease of movement, this block constructed home has been tastefully and comprehensively renovated with an emphasis on comfort, cohesion and quiet luxury. An open, flowing floor plan anchors the home, where the living, dining and kitchen spaces connect seamlessly, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features a four seat breakfast bar that invites casual gatherings, while the living room enjoys peaceful sunset views, adding a soft, natural close to each day. The open concept layout includes three inviting bedrooms and two beautifully updated baths, complemented by luxury vinyl flooring and soft, contemporary finishes throughout. The kitchen is striking and highly functional, appointed with Carrera marblestyle quartz countertops and a full quartz backsplash, premium Caf appliances, and a sought after two drawer dishwasher. Soft close cabinetry, pullout pantry shelving, and a spacious indoor laundry room reflect the homes attention to detail and livability. Architectural upgrades include shaker style interior doors with new hardware, magnetic door stops and carefully placed recessed lighting that enhances flow and ambiance. Significant capital improvements provide confidence and peace of mind, including a new roof (2022), hurricane rated impact windows (2024), updated interior and exterior lighting, and two newly enclosed garages (2025). The home was fully replumbed in 2006. Outdoors, a private patio and fully fenced backyard offer ample space to create a custom pool or serene garden retreat. River Forests optional civic association maintains the neighborhood park, pond, entrance and access to Phillippi Creek, an understated yet valuable amenity. A home that feels complete, considered, and quietly exceptional, ready to welcome you home.
