Set on over half an acre with rare frontage on two lakes, this property invites canoeing or quiet walks along the nature trail, all amid the charm of a mature Old Florida landscape. A 2020 tile roof, updated well irrigation system, newer HVAC systems, and 2022 solar panels contribute to remarkably low operating costs and insurance savings. The two-car garage, paired with a long private driveway, provides generous off-street parking in this quiet cul-de-sac setting. Hidden Oaks North is known for its quiet, tree-lined streets, low HOA dues (under $50/month), and highly regarded school zoning—all just a short drive to Downtown Sarasota and the area’s top-rated beaches and attractions.
