About this home

Beautiful END-UNIT, one level VILLA in Papillon at The Meadows, where EASY Florida living meets an unbeatable Sarasota location! This 2-bedroom (split floorplan), 2-bath home features an updated kitchen, low-maintenance tile and hardwood flooring, a two-car garage, and a fabulous enclosed Florida SUNROOM wrapped in glass sliders overlooking peaceful greenspace. It is the kind of room you will actually use, whether you are enjoying morning coffee, reading a book, working from home, or simply watching the Florida landscape outside. UPDATES include a NEW A/C in 2022, plus the TILE ROOF was replaced by the association in 2012, and BOTH bathrooms have been tastefully updated, adding to the home's move-in ready appeal. The MAINTENANCE-FREE LIFESTYLE makes this an ideal lock-and-leave home for snowbirds, frequent travelers, or year-round residents. And then there is THE MEADOWS lifestyle. Miles of walking and biking trails wind throughout the neighborhood, with PICKLEBALL, TENNIS, GOLF and a JR. Olympic-size pool adding even more ways to enjoy the Florida sunshine.

You are minutes from UTC, Nathan Benderson PARK, MOTE SEA, LAKEWOOD RANCH, countless restaurants, shopping and entertainment, with easy access to I-75 and Tampa. Head to UTC for monthly Cars & Coffee, meet friends for dinner at one of the many nearby restaurants, or simply stay close to home and enjoy everything that makes life in The Meadows so appealing.
