Inside, the home feels bright, open and thoughtfully refreshed with updated light fixtures, updated faucets and wood-look ceramic tile flooring that flows through the main living areas. The spacious living room offers a comfortable central gathering space with great natural light and an easy connection to the dining area, kitchen and screened lanai. Whether you are relaxing at home, hosting family or enjoying a quiet evening in, the layout feels open, functional and welcoming. The fully renovated kitchen, completed in 2021, serves as the heart of the home with upgraded cabinetry, stone counters, a tile backsplash, ceramic tile flooring and a functional breakfast bar that opens beautifully to the main living and dining spaces. With generous cabinet storage, updated finishes and a clean, modern feel, the kitchen brings both style and everyday practicality to the home. The result is an inviting main living area that feels current, comfortable and move-in ready without losing its warmth. The primary suite offers a quiet place to unwind, complete with direct access to the screened lanai and a beautifully renovated bath completed in 2026. Designed with a fresh spa-like feel, the bath features updated tile, a glass-enclosed shower, soaking tub, modern fixtures and a polished finish that adds immediate value and appeal. Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable flexibility for family, guests or a home office. Step outside and you’ll find the kind of backyard setting that makes this home feel truly special. The large screened lanai overlooks a fenced lakefront backyard shaded by stunning mature oak trees, creating the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, evening relaxation or peaceful weekends at home. With water views, mature trees, preserve land to one side and only one neighboring home, the backyard feels calm, established and uniquely private. Regency Oaks offers an established neighborhood setting with a low HOA, while placing you close to the growing conveniences of north Manatee County. Families will also appreciate the upcoming Manatee County school rezoning, with this property expected to be assigned to Veterans Elementary for the 2026-2027 school year and Parrish Community High School for the 2027-2028 school year, while the middle school assignment is expected to remain unchanged. (Buyers should verify all current and future school assignments directly with the School District of Manatee County). Enjoy easy access to nearby shopping, dining, schools, parks, Ellenton Premium Outlets, everyday essentials along US 301 and I-75 and the continued growth coming to the Parrish and Moccasin Wallow corridor. With Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota and St. Petersburg all within reach, this home offers a peaceful lakefront setting without giving up convenience, connection or future upside.
