Welcome to Oak Ford - a community tucked away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to be to
the new Waterside area of Lakewood Ranch in less than 15 minutes, downtown Sarasota in 25 minutes, Gulf beaches in 30 minutes,
and points north and south with easy convenience to I-75. Trees, lakes, and meandering streets
surround this home which is nestled into a street-end cul-de-sac for ultimate privacy. Enjoy a community
resplendent with space where each home sits on 1+ acre lots. Step inside the Todd Johnston custom
built home and experience luxury touches including crown moldings, electric fireplace in the great room,
large windows across the back of the home to take in the lake and preserve views, and several designer
upgrades throughout. The split floor plan is ideal for entertaining guests or accommodating large
families, as is the second-story bonus room with wet-bar, balcony, and breathtaking views out to the
lake. You'll also find 2 additional bedrooms upstairs, large enough to accommodate king-size beds and
more. From the 12ft ceilings to the 8ft doors, to the custom closet built-ins and large format tile set
diagonally - this home is a statement in coastal elegance. The experience continues outside to the pool,
hot tub, outdoor kitchen with never-been-used grill, like-new mini-fridge and convenient 1/2 bath for
swimmers. The south-facing lanai is perfect for the sun catcher and to heat the pool - or use the
recently updated pool heater for the chillier winter months. The meticulously maintained home receives
regular maintenance for the two A/C systems (one of which was updated in 2020), a recent roof
inspection to ensure there are no current deficiencies, and a freshly painted exterior. This home is clean,
neutral, and ready to move-in. The current owners have a strong attention to detail and not one was
missed when they lovingly built this home in 2009.
