Nestled behind the gates of highly sought-after Oakleaf Hammock, this beautifully maintained 2019-built residence offers a combination of features that today's buyers struggle to find: 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a first-floor primary suite, a 3-car garage, and a private homesite spanning more than a quarter acre. From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the thoughtful design and move-in ready condition. The open-concept floor plan creates a seamless flow between the kitchen, living, and dining areas, making everyday living effortless and entertaining a joy.

The first-floor primary suite delivers the privacy and convenience buyers consistently prioritize, creating a peaceful retreat separate from the additional bedrooms upstairs. Abundant natural light, modern finishes, and the benefits of newer construction combine to create a home that feels both stylish and functional from day one. Outside, the oversized homesite sets this property apart. Large, private lots in newer gated communities are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and this backyard offers endless possibilities. Imagine designing your dream outdoor oasis with a custom pool, outdoor kitchen, firepit, or extended lanai while still preserving plenty of green space for pets, play, and entertaining. The 3-car garage provides valuable space for vehicles, golf carts, storage, hobbies, and all the extras that come with the Florida lifestyle. Beyond the home itself, Oakleaf Hammock offers the advantages buyers love most: gated entry, beautiful oak-lined streets, LOW HOA fees, and NO CDD fees. Conveniently located just minutes from the Ellenton Premium Outlets, restaurants, shopping, and daily essentials, you'll also enjoy quick access to I-75 for an easy commute to Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Lakewood Ranch, and Tampa.

Remarks: Once the model home of Covered Bridge Estates, this 2013-built 4-bed, 2.5-bath treasure stands out in every way. It’s one of the few homes offering a coveted 3-car garage—complete with its own mini-split A/C, ideal for comfort and versatility.

Upstairs, all bedrooms are conveniently paired with an upstairs laundry room. The oversized primary suite is a true retreat, offering a spa-like bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, separate shower, and a huge walk-in closet.
