UPDATED PHOTOS! Flooring in the kitchen, dining area, and two bedrooms has been replaced with DuraLux Performance waterproof luxury vinyl flooring. This home presents a wonderful opportunity to make it your own, offering a bright great room with vaulted ceilings and a screened lanai overlooking a peaceful water view, along with a kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, soft-close cabinetry, a pantry, and a sunny bay-window dining area. The split floor plan provides privacy with updated bathrooms in both the primary and guest suites, plus a versatile den/office and an inside laundry room. Located in Park Forest, a gated 55+ community with a clubhouse, pool, pickleball, tennis, and shuffleboard, residents enjoy low-maintenance living with HOA fees covering lawn care, irrigation, roof replacement, exterior painting, and common areas—no flood insurance required. Conveniently close to historic Dearborn Street and less than 15 minutes to the beaches of Manasota Key, Venice, and Nokomis.
