WOW! This fabulous 3 bedroom (or 2 and a den) 2 bath, 2 car garage end unit maintenance free villa is truly a show stopper! The unit has been updated, freshly painted inside & with wide & long views of the large lake & Prestancia Golf Course along with a large variety of Florida birds & wildlife the outdoors is totally brought in. The living space is open with views galore & large rooms. There is a split plan of the primary suite & the guest bedroom with walk-in closets that would be inviting to anyone. The kitchen encompasses the forever views through the pass through area over the cozy sitting area in front of the wood burning fireplace. The covered, newly tiled, screened in 41 foot long lanai is definitely a sought after feature that will keep anyone continually entertained. You can enjoy the luxury of lapping up the warm breezes or using the pull down hurricane shutters when you are away or stormy weather is lurking. There is a new shingle roof completed in 2025 with new exterior paint. The roads were recently repaved as well. The almost 36 acres of land gives you a sense of space that is perfect for unwinding & enjoying nature. This is a gated extremely well located friendly neighborhood in Sarasota. It is close to Costco, shops in Gulf Gate, 10 minutes to Siesta Key for that beautiful white sand beach and the north and south villages for more restaurants and shops! It is also only 10 minutes to I75 and US 41 (Tamiami Trail). Sarasota waterfront and downtown shops, restaurants, theatres, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Doctors Hospital, etc are also minutes away. St Armand's Circle, Lido and Longboat Key are just around the corner from downtown.
