Home Details
Virtually Staged. Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath saltwater pool home ideally situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Forest Oaks community. Offering 1,634 square feet of living space, this inviting residence combines comfort, privacy, and the best of Florida living in one of Sarasota’s most sought-after locations.
Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood with mature landscaping and minimal through traffic, this home offers a wonderful sense of privacy while remaining just minutes from Sarasota’s premier attractions.

Updates provide added value and peace of mind, including a full roof replacement in 2018, new A/C system (2024), and new water heater (2024). Hurricane preparedness is enhanced with electric shutters on the front entry and lanai, along with manualy operated shutters for the windows. No carpet, tile flooring throughout the entire home. The home is connected to natural gas and is located in an X Flood Zone, meaning flood insurance is typically not required by lenders.
