400 DEER RUN DR, Sarasota, FL 34240

If you're looking for peace, quiet & seclusion, this may be the one for you. This is a well-constructed concrete block home on 5 peaceful acres, just 2.5 miles from a plethora of shopping & near the amenities & culture of downtown Sarasota. There's a peaceful lake in the backyard where you can fish or just watch the water birds. With a split floor plan, you'll have privacy in the master BR. The master bath has a marble vanity top with a make-up knee-hole, walk-in shower and a marble soaking tub for your relaxation. The kitchen has upgraded cabinets & granite counters. Each room is generously sized with plenty of closet space. Washer & dryer in laundry room. LR recently converted into 4th BR w/closet. Sprinkler system draws water from the lake, giving you a low cost lush lawn. The well & septic system with save you thousands of $ in utility bills. Lanai overlooks the lake and faces south, so if you ever added a pool, you'd have the sun warming it all day. The balance of the 5 acres is across the street. Some of it is cleared, but most is trees, scrub and wetlands. Here you'll see foxes, deer, wild hogs, coyotes & many other forms of wildlife. The interior of the house needs a thorough clean-up, painting & re-carpeting. Experience has shown that every house is a re-do, but this one needs a little more. Most importantly, the house has good bones, a great floor plan & is in an ideal setting. A little imagination, sweat equity and money can make it a showplace you will be proud to call home!
