Property Description
A covered front porch leads into a light-filled home featuring vaulted ceilings, crown molding, custom built-in cabinetry, and an open living room highlighted by a lighted tray ceiling, creating a comfortable space for everyday living and entertaining.
The updated kitchen features cherry wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a travertine backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a bright casual dining area. Neutral ceramic tile flows throughout the main living areas, while engineered hardwood floors add warmth to the bedrooms. Large sliding glass doors fill the living room with natural light while framing beautiful views of the covered lanai space, pool and golf course.
The private primary suite features a tray ceiling, overlooks the pool and golf course, and offers beautiful sunset views. Two large walk-in closets and a spacious en-suite bath with a soaking tub, separate shower, and private water closet complete the suite.
Recent improvements include a new tile roof installed in July 2026, new A/C (2023), exterior paint (2024), lanai cage rescreen (2024), updated designer lighting and ceiling fans throughout, and a NEMA 1450 outlet for EV charging.
Additional features include impact-resistant sliding glass doors, 125 mph-rated windows, a reinforced hurricane-rated garage door with full-width horizontal steel bracing, and the home is hardwired for a security system.
Enjoy maintenance-free living with low HOA and CDD fees, including lawn maintenance, Xfinity cable and high-speed internet, a heated community pool and spa, clubhouse with social activities, newly updated (2026) tennis and pickleball courts, a pay-as-you-go restaurant with no food minimum, and pay-as-you-play golf on Tara Preserve's renovated course featuring new greens (2026), no mandatory golf membership required. Sidewalks throughout the community and close proximity to the clubhouse and amenities add to the convenience of everyday living.
Located just minutes from Lakewood Ranch, University Town Center, I-75, downtown Sarasota, SRQ Airport, shopping, dining, Gulf Coast beaches, and Sarasota's cultural attractions, this home offers the perfect blend of updated comfort, maintenance-free living, and an exceptional location.
