About This Home
As of May 2025Location! Location! This exceptional home is a rare find and won’t last-run, don't walk, Run to see it! Showcasing like a model, this beautifully updated paired villa offers maintenance-free living in an exclusive community of just 26 homes. Featuring a desirable split floor plan, it includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage.
While this villa does not come with a golf membership, the new owner has the option to purchase either a social or full golf membership at the privately owned Tara Golf and Country Club.
Inside, vaulted cathedral ceilings enhance the open and airy feel of the living and dining areas, which flow seamlessly to a screened-in lanai overlooking the serene preserve on the 9th hole of the public golf course—offering privacy with no backyard neighbors. The home has been fully updated with elegant luxury vinyl flooring and plantation shutters throughout.
The spacious kitchen boasts granite countertops, newer cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (2023 ), a marble backsplash, recessed lighting, and a pantry for extra storage. The primary suite features luxury vinyl flooring, cathedral ceilings, plantation shutters, his-and-hers walk-in closets, and a stunning ensuite bath with dual sinks, quartz tile flooring, a walk-in shower, private commode, a new vanity with pull-out drawers, and granite countertops.
The second and third bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bathroom with a new vanity, pull-out drawers, a tub/shower combination, and tile flooring. The third bedroom can also serve as a private office. Additional conveniences include an inside laundry room with a utility sink and an oversized garage with a generator hookup.
Key updates include a brand-new barrel tile roof (2024) an air conditioner (2019), a water heater (2021), and all-new interior plumbing with a shut-off valve.
The HOA covers cable, internet, and exterior maintenance. With a membership, residents can enjoy championship golf, tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, a fitness center, a community pool, social events, and exceptional clubhouse dining.
Conveniently located near I-75, Sarasota’s world-famous beaches, SRQ Airport, and UTC Mall, this stunning home is a must-see!
