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.

(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.
