About this home
Welcome to the ultimate Florida outdoor lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, your eyes are drawn straight through to the screened lanai, where glowing string lights, a sparkling heated pool, and a soothing spa invite you to slow down and relax. Imagine waking up to hot coffee beside the water as morning mist rises off the calm lake. Beyond the enclosure, a fully fenced lawn leads to a private fire pit along the water’s edge, backed by lush greenery and complete rear privacy. As day turns to dusk, the west-facing sky transforms into a dramatic canvas of purple, magenta, and gold, giving you front-row seats to Florida's finest sunsets right from your own backyard. Stepping back inside, the layout makes living and entertaining effortless. High ceilings, warm luxury vinyl plank flooring, and graceful architectural arches seamlessly connect the main living spaces. The remodeled kitchen sits right at the center of it all, equipped with crisp white cabinetry, granite counter space, a center island, and bar seating that looks straight through wide glass sliders to the pool and water beyond. The floor plan offers remarkable flexibility and room for everyone. On the main level, the spacious primary suite serves as a quiet retreat featuring a private bath and quick access to the main living areas. Upstairs, the second floor features a second full en-suite bedroom complete with its own private bath, along with two additional oversized bedrooms joined by a convenient Jack-and-Jill bath layout. Finished with key upgrades including two brand-new 2026 HVAC systems with 10-year warranties, and low HOA fees, the convenience of this position is tough to beat. Situated just minutes from the premier shopping and dining at University Town Center (UTC), you are also a short drive to vibrant downtown Sarasota, the white sands of Lido Beach, and the crystal waters of Longboat Key. It’s an unmatchable blend of complete privacy, world-class Gulf Coast lifestyle, and effortless everyday convenience.
