One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Behind the gates of beautiful Deer Creek in Palmer Ranch, this 4 bedroom and 3 full bath custom built Pruitt pool home overlooks one of the community's picturesque lakes. This stunning property is designed for indoor/outdoor living with its multiple windows and sliders allowing an abundance of natural light and easy access to the private caged pool and lanai. Since 2020, many interior quality upgrades have been done: like-wood plank floor tile in living areas and luxury vinyl wood floor in bedrooms (2020); complete kitchen and bathroom renovations (2020); 2 ACs (2020); all interior rooms of home and garage painted (3/25); and epoxy garage floor done (4/25). An impressive kitchen (2020) features De Vittori custom wood soft close cabinets and drawers, solid surface counters and breakfast bar, wine refrigerator, and GE Profile stainless appliances. With comfort and style, a new electric fireplace within a new architecturally stunning wall was added in the adjoining family room (2020). Designed for hosting family and friends, the living room and dining room, with built-in buffet, are seamlessly joined while doors open to the outdoor lanai spaces for dining, too. A split bedroom plan allows privacy for owners in their redone primary bedroom suite with sitting area, massive closet with wood shelving, and lovely en-suite updated bath with marble tile floor, quartz countertops and fabulous rain shower (2020). On the opposite end of the house, 2 spacious guest bedrooms, with ample built-in wall closets, share a bath with new quartz countertops and glass shower while the 4th bedroom is used as an office with built-ins and has an updated bath with a shower which also serves as the pool bath (2020). Smart exterior updates are many: saltwater pool area has a newer heater (2020); screened cage (2022) and pool deck (11/24); and also outside are newer leaf filters and generator (2022), vinyl enclosures for pool and AC equipment (2025) and, currently in process, a brand new irrigation system, meter and sod (6/2025). Deer Creek boasts numerous lakes and preserve areas, 24-hour guard gate, low HOA fees and no CDD. It's close to everything: shopping at Publix and Costco, YMCA, golf courses, Legacy Trail, reknowned Siesta Beach and downtown Sarasota's fine dining and cultural aspects.
