Welcome to 5346 Palos Verdes Drive, a fully renovated gem in the hidden enclave of River Forest.

This 3BR/3BA home has been transformed for modern living with a new roof (2024), impact windows, doors, and skylight, hurricane-rated pool cage, all plumbing relined (2022), spray foam insulation, and a generator hookup. Inside you will find skylights, plantation shutters, recessed lighting, surround sound, and whole-home audio plus a mini-split in the primary bedroom for custom comfort and efficiency. Home can come fully furnished for a turnkey seamless move-in experience and plans are available for a second-story addition. Step outside to your private oasis with a saltwater pool featuring a new heater and chiller (2024), LED landscape and pool-cage lighting, a fire pit, and a brand-new Hot Springs spa (2024, $18K value). A fenced yard (2024) ensures privacy, while a rear parking pad with RV hookup is perfect for your boat, jet ski, or motorhome. A well-fed irrigation system keeps the lush landscaping thriving with low water costs. River Forest offers a rare blend of convenience and tranquility in central Sarasota. Don't miss this move-in-ready home where every upgrade has already been done for you.
