6718 willow pond lane

This upscale single-family pool home at 6718 Willow Pond Lane is nestled within the quiet, oak-lined neighborhood of Shadow Oaks Estates in eastern Sarasota. Built in 2003, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home features approximately 2,296 square feet of interior livable area with a split-bedroom floor plan, and guest suite designed for privacy and functionality. The property sits on a generous .21 acre lot surrounded by mature Florida landscaping and characteristic oak trees and a tranquil pond view. Built with standard stucco masonry on a solid concrete slab foundation, the home also has brand new luxury vinyl floors and carpets as well as a new AC unit, new stove and new refrigerator. More plusses are recently cleaned ducts, an attached 2-car garage and low, well-managed community HOA fees.

What makes this location particularly desirable is its "country feel" balanced with incredibly quick access to Sarasota's top destinations. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being just minutes from Celery Fields—a world-renowned birding hotspot featuring walking paths, boardwalks, and an observation hill—as well as the paved trails of Rothenbach Park. For shopping, dining, and daily essentials, University Town Center (UTC) mall is only about 15 minutes away via nearby I-75, while the cultural hub of downtown Sarasota is an easy 20-minute drive down Fruitville Road. Beachgoers can reach the famous powdery white sands of Siesta Key or the upscale boutiques of St. Armands Circle in under half an hour. Furthermore, the home is highly attractive to families due to its zoning for top-rated local schools, including Tatum Ridge Elementary, which is located just a mile and a half away.

Living at Shadow Oaks Estates means finding your true place, where peaceful nature, warm community, and deep comfort come together to make every day like coming home.
