Mote Ranch ! A hidden gem of a community located just moments to the fabulous UTC corridor, Benderson park, top-notch medical facilities... 15 minutes to downtown Sarasota and 20 minutes to our world-famous sugar sand beach of Siesta Key. This part of Mote Ranch features wide winding streets and NO through traffic which makes it attractive for walking and biking. The community center is just a few blocks away where you will find a newly heated Jr. Olympic-sized pool (great for laps !) a playground and a fishing pier. You can also drop your kayak or paddleboard right into the Braden River from the community launch area. All of this is included in the most reasonable HOA fee of $188 per quarter. NO additional fees. The home itself sits on a large lot (.21) and has received many updates in the past 3 years including new 8x48 porcelain tile in all of the living areas, 5-inch real wood craftsman style baseboards throughout the entire home, New quartz counters, glass backsplash, refaced cabinets, remodeled guest bath, new front door and sidelight, freshly painted inside and out, all new blinds and shades, new brick pavered driveway, new fans and light fixtures inside and out, brand new cold AC installed in 2020... the home is light and bright inside and has an amazing long view of the lake from almost every room. Smart floorplan (Split bedrooms) and a huge glassed-in Florida room/lanai that can be used in multiple ways. No flood zone. Not your typical cookie cutter home or community, lush landscpaing, large lots, nice privacy, low fees and wonderful long term neighbors will be found here in Mote Ranch.
