Welcome to 5346 Palos Verdes Drive, a fully renovated gem in the hidden enclave of River Forest. Tucked just off Tamiami Trail, this quiet neighborhood of tree-lined streets, complete with community park and kayak launch dock, feels worlds away while keeping you minutes from The Landings, Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar, Phillippi Estate Park, and Siesta Key Beach. With no deed restrictions, no mandatory HOA fees, and not in a flood zone, this home offers freedom and peace of mind. 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.
