The private Owners' Retreat offers a spa-like bath with dual vanities, separate soaking tub, walk-in shower, tile flooring, and two walk-in closets, including one with custom built-ins. Two additional bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on the opposite side of the home and share a well-appointed guest bath, with new carpet in all bedrooms. A spacious laundry room with cabinet storage is conveniently located near the two-car garage. The screened lanai and fully fenced backyard create a peaceful outdoor retreat, with wooded views in the distance and plenty of space to enjoy the oversized lot. Across the street, sparkling lake views provide a beautiful backdrop, especially at sunset. Wildgrass is conveniently located near parks, shopping, dining, I-75, and highly regarded schools, with easy access to Siesta Key Beach, UTC, Downtown Sarasota, and St. Armands Circle. A beautifully designed custom home, an oversized homesite, private backyard, and gated community setting make this a special Sarasota opportunity.
