6685 41st Street Cir., Sarasota, FL 34243

Welcome to this lovely, pristine home with a rarely available lake view in the highly desirable Cascades at Sarasota. From the moment you drive up, you’ll feel the difference attention to detail makes. The brick paver drive stands beside a colorful garden in the front that leads to a covered entry with an impressive 8 foot door. Step into a stunning foyer awash in tranquil color. The open dining room/living room, just beyond, with its vaulted ceilings, expand the space and invite you out to the large, covered lanai with its beautiful water views. The family room has the same delightful views and access to the lanai. The adjoining kitchen boasts of plenty of wood cabinets, stone countertops, newer appliances, a pantry closet and room for a kitchen table. The primary bedroom is large enough for a king size bed and a seating area and the spacious bath offers double sinks, a walk-in shower, separate soaking tub and private water closet. 2 walk-in closets complete this peaceful sanctuary. The second bedroom and bath are in the front of the home, essentially creating 2 en suites. The nice sized den adds yet another beautiful space to either entertain or get away from it all. The bedrooms and den have new carpet and the rest of the home has easy to care for ceramic tile. One of the sellers’ favorite things about this home has been enjoying morning coffee on the lanai and seeing the gorgeous sunrises. The incredible wildlife has been another highlight. Herons and Sandhill Cranes roam along the shore. An Eagle can be spotted on occasion, soaring over the lake or perching on a rooftop. Take full advantage of the many amenities within the community: The spectacular, newly renovated, clubhouse includes a well-equipped fitness center, saunas, billiard room, craft room with 2 pottery kilns, well stocked lending library, card/game rooms and an Auditorium/ Banquet room. Outside you will find a heated indoor /outdoor pool, hot tub, lighted tennis courts, pickleball courts, shuffleboard, and bocce ball. Full time social director and Tennis pro offer a wide variety of clubs, classes, and activities. Did I mention that this is all within a 55+, maintenance free, gated neighborhood, with security, has no CDD fees, and that it is just minutes from world class beaches, top rated health care, fine dining, art galleries, theater, opera, ballet and more. Sarasota international airport and University Town Center (Whole Foods, Fresh Market) both less than 15 mins away. Come see soon! This is your opportunity to be "Home for the Holidays" in this lovely welcoming community.
