Just what you’ve been waiting for! This lovingly maintained & beautifully decorated ground level villa w/its own private oversized 2 car garage is a must see & shows like a model. As you approach a welcoming entry via the front patio you‘ll notice how tropical the outdoor landscape & décor is w/plenty of room for BBQs & family gatherings. Enter through a custom front door toward the soaring ceilings as your eyes are drawn to the double-sided wood burning fireplace separating the dining & living rooms. There is an attractive elevated granite breakfast bar overlooking the kitchen which is adorned with handsome wood cabinets accompanied by the same granite counters w/a matching file cabinet in the breakfast nook that’s currently being used as an office. Take notice of the upgraded stainless & black appliances; smooth top double oven range, side by side fridge with indoor ice & water dispenser, micro-hood as well as dishwasher & corner double sink. Most of the lower cabinets have pull outs for easy access in addition to a separate pantry. The master bedroom has vaulted ceilings, is quite large & has a well-appointed bath w/dual sinks in the wood vanity. The guest bath has an updated wood vanity & step-in shower. The third bedroom is outfitted w/double doors if one wishes to use it as a den or close them & use it as a third bedroom as it has a closet & another entry door for privacy. Other notable features of this lovely home are: attractive tile backsplash in the kitchen, REME-HALO air purifier/filtration system for the AC, 6 panel updated interior doors, spacious rooms, tastefully & neutrally updated & just across the private drive from the community pool. The massive former lanai has been enclosed w/upgraded sliding window panels that can be left closed for more interior living space w/the split unit AC or turned off & left open for a more exterior living environment. The large floor tile flows seamlessly throughout the entire home (including lanai) w/the exception of the guest bedroom, which is also tiled. This villa lives more like a single-family home & has room in the garage for a golf cart. The garage also has 12” rubber type coverings over most of the floor in addition to a work bench area. It’s about 2 blocks to IMG Golf Club & Restaurant & close enough to Sarasota Bay to enjoy afternoon breezes.
