Offering the carefree lifestyle of a villa, coupled with the appeal of a 3 bedroom, 2 bath residence, this nearly new Taylor-Morrison home in the Esplanade by Siesta Key, built in 2014, is a showplace of impeccable taste, style, & high-end features, all executed in the hues of a designer’s palette. The leaded glass entry door ushers you to a spacious “gathering room”, the adjacent well-appointed kitchen, & dining room, all part of the open floor plan. Volume tray ceilings, classic crown moldings, wide baseboards, luxurious wood/laminate flooring & 8’ interior doors are but a prelude to the upgrades found throughout the home: GE Café stainless appliances, including a desirable gas range, extended height solid wood cabinetry with pull-out storage drawers, & granite counters grace the chef’s kitchen; plantation shutters throughout; ample cabinets in the laundry; & custom features including closet organizing systems, built-ins in the home office, & a queen Murphy bed with unique wall unit in bedroom 2. A visit is necessary to appreciate the more than $100,000.00 in upgrades. Situated on a premium lot, the villa offers tranquil lake views from the extended screened lanai as well as the master bedroom. A short drive to Siesta Beach, Esplanade by Siesta Key is a gated community offering its residents an amazing clubhouse, with large pool, inside & outside social areas, complete outdoor kitchen, & well-appointed gym facility. I 75 is easily accessed from Clark Rd, with downtown Sarasota equally available.
