At the Residences at University Groves, an intimate community tucked away in one of the more popular areas of Sarasota, you will find this semi-custom home that has been meticulously cared for by its owner. With 14-foot ceilings and stunning wood floors laid on the diagonal, your eyes will not know where to look first. Situated on a larger lot with a beautiful private water view off the back, this one is move in-ready. There are three bedrooms, two baths, an office/den with beautiful, custom built-in cabinetry and a laundry room. The front of the home consists of a formal living and dining room with 14-foot ceilings and is perfect for the extra space you may be looking for. The center of the home showcases the kitchen with its stylish wood cabinets with tiered heights and pull-out drawers in the lowers. Granite countertops, gas range/cooktop, breakfast bar and a prep island make this an exceptional place to cook while interacting with guests in the family room. The breakfast nook area off the kitchen is large enough for a full-sized table, so you can use the front room for something special. The primary bedroom, with views of the water and landscaping, is large enough for a king-sized bed and seating area. The en-suite bath has a walk-in shower, double sink and large walk-in closet. On the opposite side of the home, you have two bedrooms and a bath. The bedroom closets have additional storage space above that was finished with cabinetry to match the closet doors. Some of the more notable upgrades added to this home are the additional square footage added to the second bedroom, wood floors throughout laid on the diagonal (minus bedrooms and baths), recessed lighting through the main areas of the home, 5-inch baseboards, crown molding with double crown molding in the front two rooms. Your power bill will be reduced with the tankless gas water heater (2018) and gas range (2016), and you'll feel good about the impact windows on the front of the home, hurricane screens for the remaining windows and sliding glass doors and the impact garage door. The garage is amble size for two cars and has a pull-down ladder for the much-needed attic space. The perfect central location in Sarasota, you are a short drive to the University Town Center shopping district, Nathan Benderson Park, downtown Sarasota, the world’s best beaches, medical offices, grocery stores, the SRQ airport and more. Come relax on the large front porch or the back lanai and watch the otters and ospreys. You’ll be happy you did.
