Beautifully updated, this maintenance-free villa is light and bright. Front courtyard leads to etched glass front door, which opens to an inviting space featuring plank bamboo floors, hand-scraped and stained. The kitchen has been opened up and fully updated with granite counters and stainless appliances. Master bath has also been updated and features a beautiful stone tile shower. Both the living room and master bedroom overlook the heated pool and lanai. Plantation shutters accent every window and sliding glass door. Interior has been painted in warm, neutral designer colors. All appliances as well as AC and hot water heater were replaced in 2009. All this is just steps to Palm Aire Country Club, where membership is not mandatory, but is extremely affordable. Situated off the booming University Parkway corridor, close to downtown Sarasota & Beaches, the interstate, and the new upscale mall scheduled to open in October.
