Like all of Neal Communities properties, Grand Palm is lushly landscaped with winding roads, plentiful ponds, amenities abound. Pickleball, tennis, kayaking or simply exploring the wetlands and wooded areas which dot the acreage. Prefer sunbathing and swimming? Here you can enjoy a pool reserved solely for the villa residents, or visit the clubhouse and enjoy two other pools available to the entire community. This Crystal Sands Villa has great street appeal with a porch upfront for watching the activity of the street, or to read a book and take in the early sunrise. So different an ambiance from the extended, screened lanai at the back of the home where peaceful, preserve views and silence is only broken by the frequent serenades of blue jays and mockingbirds. Our Villa boasts a great room with a coffered ceiling that enhances the feel of vastness above. The master bedroom also allows for lovely views of the preserve. A Roman Shower means no glass doors to scour, two separate vanities with double sinks means no elbowing for space. Privacy reigns supreme with a separate lavatory, and the master bath, laundry room and guest bath provide a buffer between the two bedroom. The dining room overlooking the cozy front porch could be instead a flex space, large enough for a bedroom (can be closed off by the addition of French doors) but currently serves as an office. Or maybe you need a playroom, or a craft studio. Excellent GE appliances, tile backsplash, Corian surfaces, recessed lighting and two glass pendants complete the kitchen. Reasonable fees include maintenance-care of the grounds kept green by recycled water. HURRICANE CURTAINS, EXTRA ROOF MOISTURE BARRIER, and THE LANAI SLIDERS TOTALLY POCKET are also a plus. Ideally situated off major Center and River Roads, it's a snap to drive to Boca Grande, Englewood, or Manasota Key, and Venice beaches. And for city life, Sarasota is a pleasant ride north. Annual tax listed includes the CDD and intangibles. POSSIBLE TURNKEY SALE.
