Virtually Staged. Fresh, bright and move-in ready in Laurel Pines, a quiet, established Nokomis neighborhood with a low HOA, just 2.3 miles from Nokomis Beach. Relax at the end of the day on the long screened lanai with the ceiling fans turning, knowing the big work on this home is already done. Double entry doors with an arched glass transom open to a bright, freshly painted split floor plan. Crown molding frames the formal living and dining rooms, and the dining room adds a graceful arched interior window. The family room offers custom built-in shelving for books, photos and the things you love. The kitchen has recessed lighting, tall pantry cabinets, new stainless appliances and a pass-through window to the lanai, so dinner moves outside with ease. So much of this home opens to the lanai. French doors open from the living room and from the primary suite, and the guest bath has its own door out. It is a home that lets the outdoors in. The primary suite is a private retreat on its own side of the home, with French doors to the lanai, a walk-in closet, double vanity, separate shower, private water closet and a brand new garden tub made for a long, quiet soak. Two guest bedrooms share a full bath with a walk-in shower and a new vanity. Inside laundry with a utility sink and cabinets leads to the full 2-car garage. The peace of mind is built in: new roof (2025), whole-home re-pipe (2024), electrical service upgrade (2022), garage door and opener (2019), exterior paint (2025), complete interior paint (2026), plus new light fixtures and ceiling fans, new stainless appliances and fresh landscaping front and back (2026). Block construction, tile and wood-look floors and central vacuum round it out.
