*$200K Price Improvement!* Welcome to 1715 South Drive in Cherokee Park, one of Sarasota's most sought-after "west of Trail" neighborhoods admired for its large lots, boulevard style streets with sidewalks and 100-year-old oak trees. As if straight from the pages of Southern Living Magazine this charming single level home is beautifully positioned on an extra deep lot (100 x 200 sq ft). The home has been transformed over the years with major updates completed in 2003, 2011 and 2016 including hurricane rated windows and doors, a metal roof over the main house and pool house, a large en suite primary bedroom and a beautifully updated kitchen and family room with vaulted ceilings, stainless steel GE Monogram appliances, 6 burner Wolf Range, Everpure water filtration system, large granite island with extensive storage and a large walk-in pantry. Most recent improvements include a Kohler whole home natural gas generator (2022), a custom front door with privacy glass, a full remodel of both front bathroom and jack and jill bath including custom cabinets, designer tile and frameless shower and all new pool equipment (heater, pump, salt cell). Just under 3600 square feet, there is plenty of room to spread out with 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, a formal dining room, separate living and family rooms and an eat-in kitchen. French doors lead from the kitchen/family room to a private brick patio, large yard and entrance to the enclosed Pool House with separate kitchenette, full bath and storage garage. Cherokee Park's ideal proximity to Southside Village, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, downtown Sarasota, and Siesta Key's white powdery sand beach can't be beat. Families will love the close proximity to top-rated Southside Elementary and the many holiday traditions that contribute to the neighborhood's unique character.
