This exceptional RENOVATED Sarasota maintenance-free villa offers more than 2150 sq ft and is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in an active golf community. By the time you get here, the large, empty two-car garage will be ready for your Jaguars. Pricewise, you wont find anything like this in Lakewood Ranch or University Park. And here, you can avoid the exorbitant CDD or RDD fees and taxes that come with owning property there. Living here, you can enjoy truly care-free living as your Association takes care of the roof, professional landscaping, hazard insurance, and maintenance of the exterior. There is NO CDD FEE. Because you wont be painting the exterior of your home, mowing the lawn, or testing the Ph in your pool, youll have enough time to learn Portuguese and prepare for your total immersion-vacation to Portugal in which youll find a world where poets, painters, and pastry shops keep rhythm to the soulful sounds of Fado music. The extensive updating includes a Garage Door Opener (2022), Refrigerator (2022), Range (2021), A/C (2020), Dishwasher (2019) and impact windows. Two large bedrooms PLUS A DEN/OFFICE give you plenty of space. A cathedral ceiling and five ceiling fans (2020) along with the washer/dryer will make your assumption of the space, comfortable and clean. The newer roof (2013) is covered by your Association. The Association amenities include TWO community swimming pools. If golf is your game, you will find access to 63-holes of championship golf nearby whether you chose the private Palm Aire Country Club offering 36 holes or the semi-private University Park Country Clubs 27-holes. Both clubs have MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE without a waiting list, unlike some of their celebrated east of I-75 counterparts. Enjoy golf, tennis, pickleball, an Olympic-sized pool & fitness facilities as well as social/dining. In both cases, the array of MEMBERSHIPS ARE OPTIONAL. You will enjoy the convenience of being west of I-75 enabling you to avoid a good portion of the seasonal congestion and be closer to the beaches and downtown entertainment venues. Minutes to the Ringling Museum, UTC Mall, Sarasota's exceptionally vibrant downtown, & our stunning Gulf Coast beaches as well as the airport.
