One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Rarely do homes become available on Willow Wood Circle - and even more rare is finding one with a water view. Offered for the first time, this one-owner residence has been cherished since it was built and now presents a solid foundation with the opportunity to make it your own. Located within the gated community of Bent Tree, Hammocks III is a well-established subdivision offering maintenance-free living with no age restrictions. This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home offers 2,124 square feet of living space with an inviting layout, including a first-floor primary suite, high vaulted ceilings, and a Florida room that fills the home with natural light. A private front courtyard creates a setting for outdoor dining or a quiet morning coffee, while the home's location offers a peaceful, wooded sense of privacy throughout. Water views become the backdrop to everyday living, with frequent visits from birds and deer adding to the natural charm. Situated on a quiet dead-end street with no thru-traffic, homesites like this are among the most desirable in Hammocks III. Additional highlights include a two-car garage, mature landscaping, and beautifully tree-lined streets that define the character of the community. Notably, the property is not located in a flood zone and has not experienced hurricane damage, offering an added layer of confidence for future owners. Ideally located just minutes from shopping and daily conveniences - including Publix, Walmart, Home Depot, and UTC Mall - with easy access to I-75 and a short drive to Sarasota's renowned beaches, dining, and entertainment. Opportunities to secure a homesite like this in Bent Tree are few and far between. Schedule a showing today and explore why residents love living here.
