Welcome to Southern Oaks, a boutique Parrish community that has held onto its small neighborhood, family feel while so much of the area has grown up around it. Built in 2021 and move-in ready, this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom single story home backs up to a peaceful pond and wooded preserve, and with the sun setting behind the water, you get gorgeous evening skies from the comfort of your own screened lanai. A new roof installed in 2025 comes with a transferable warranty, and the home sits roughly 35 feet above sea level in flood zone X, staying completely dry through the 2024 storm season. Inside, a welcoming foyer opens to tile flooring through the main living areas, recessed lighting, and an open layout connecting the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The kitchen features granite countertops, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry with upgraded hardware, a walk-in pantry, and a large island with bar seating and a pull-down faucet. Sliding glass doors extend the living space to the screened lanai, finished with mosquito grade screening and an upgraded ceiling fan with dimmer, where the pond and preserve views are completely unobstructed. The primary suite sits at the back of the home for privacy, with serene water views, a spacious walk-in closet, and an en suite bath offering dual vanities, upgraded framed mirrors and lighting, a walk-in shower, and a private water closet. Three additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom give family and guests plenty of room to spread out, and every room has a ceiling fan while low noise vents keep the home quiet and comfortable. A dedicated laundry room and a two car garage with upgraded industrial grade rollers for smooth, quiet operation round out the interior. Southern Oaks is one of the smallest communities around, the kind of place where neighbors still know each other, and residents enjoy a playground with swings and covered towers, a shaded pavilion with picnic tables, a fenced dog park, and a fountained pond at the heart of it all. Parrish puts you minutes from the Fort Hamer Bridge, Ellenton Premium Outlets, and I-75, with Lakewood Ranch, downtown Sarasota, St. Petersburg, and the Gulf beaches all within easy reach. Come experience the views, the light, and the layout for yourself. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER. INQUIRE FOR MORE DETAILS.**
