3583 SECRET STROLL DRIVE SARASOTA FL 34240

Virtually Staged. Built in 2020 with over $135,000 in owner upgrades, this 5-bed, 2-bath pool home looks and feels brand new. Inside, upgraded ceramic tile runs through every room, not a square foot of carpet in the house. The great room, dining, and kitchen flow together under tray ceilings with Restoration Hardware fans and lighting throughout, and hand-picked pendants over the island. The kitchen does the heavy lifting: white shaker cabinets, stainless appliances with a double oven, and an island with seating that everyone will end up standing around anyway. Everything sits on a single level with no stairs anywhere. The primary suite is tucked privately at the back with a walk-in closet, dual granite vanities, and an oversized frameless walk-in shower with a pebble floor. An oversized guest room near the entry gives visitors their own corner. A fifth bedroom off the kitchen handles the home office, the nursery, or the in-laws who keep saying they are only staying a week. Out back is the reason you will stop looking. A heated pool with water jets, a travertine deck, and a raised stone wall sit under a screened cage, with a covered lanai running nearly 39 feet with a ceiling fan and string lights. The multi-color pool lights turn the whole yard into something else after dark, and a floating pool alarm sounds loudly at any movement in the water. Beyond the cage, there are no homes behind you, just open community green space and sunsets. Hurricane shutters, interior laundry, an epoxy-coated garage floor, and a two-car garage round it out. HOA is $150 a month with no CDD, and it sits in Flood Zone X, so no required flood insurance. Minutes to I-75, University Town Center, and downtown Sarasota.
