Discover the charm of Florida living in the beautifully landscaped community of Wild Oak Bay, where lush tropical surroundings, tree-shaded streets and refreshing bay breezes create a peaceful retreat. This inviting three-bedroom, two-bath residence offers a distinctive architectural design, thoughtful improvements, and a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living. One of the home's captivating features is its wraparound courtyard, showcased through expansive floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors in the living room and Florida room. These walls of glass bring in the outdoors, filling the living spaces with natural light and offering peaceful views of the tropical surroundings. Vaulted ceilings enhance the home's bright, open atmosphere, while the courtyard provides a lovely setting for relaxation or entertaining. Recently revitalized with freshly painted surfaces and replaced wood trim, the courtyard also features an upgraded, more efficient irrigation system and enhanced drainage thoughtfully integrated with the new gutter system, complementing the surrounding tropical landscaping. Numerous improvements add comfort, convenience and value, including a new roof (2025), new gutters with leaf guard system (2026), exterior painting (2025), air-conditioning system and ductwork (2021), and a newer water heater (2024). Additional updates include an impact-resistant garage door and new opener (2025), washer and dryer (2024), and new oven/range (August 2026). Garage storage cabinetry and plumbing valve replacements provide added convenience. The home is in an X Flood Zone, a favorable designation where lenders generally do not require flood insurance, potentially offering savings in homeownership costs. Wild Oak Bay is a wonderfully accessible community with winding, tree-canopied streets, tropical landscaping and gentle breezes from nearby Sarasota Bay. The home is ideally positioned near the community pool, offering convenient access to relaxation and recreation. Its desirable location provides easy access to IMG Academy, shopping, dining, cultural attractions and beautiful Gulf beaches, including Anna Maria Island. With its distinctive courtyard design, abundant natural light, extensive improvements and tranquil tropical setting, this home offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the relaxed Florida lifestyle.
