As you turn onto Rivendell Blvd., you will notice the meandering drive adorned by huge shade trees. This will lead you to a charming Rutenberg built home which consists of 3 bedrooms plus den, 3 full baths, and a 3 car garage. It's an excellent floor plan with the Master bedroom separated for maximum privacy. Sliding glass doors from the Master bedroom, living room, family room, and den, all lead out to the pavered lanai and pool area. The living and dining area flow together with wood floors, 10' ceilings, and crown molding. Kitchen is open to the family room with a breakfast bar, and casual dining area. Family room has tile floors, and double tray ceiling. There are two bedrooms off the kitchen/family room area with a bath in between. The den is in the rear of the home, and could possibly be a 4th bedroom because a bath is close by. The house was re-piped in 2020, AC new in 2015, hot water heater in 2016. Rivendell is a well planned and serene community with lakes and many green spaces. It abuts to Oscar Scherer Park and 200 acres of Venice Preserves. There is a walking path to Pine View School for the Gifted, and close proximity to Legacy Bike Trail. The community amenities are a large heated pool, gazebo, picnic area, and playground. It is a pleasantly secluded neighborhood in South Sarasota, close to beaches, and in between Sarasota and Venice for many cultural, restaurant, and shopping opportunities.
