Incredible opportunity to own a wonderfully updated, villa in the maintenance-free, gated community of Fairfield with LOW HOA fees. A covered entryway greets you and is a great place to enjoy a morning coffee and chat with neighbors, and is made possible by a recently added remote-controlled roll-down screen installed above. Coming inside, you’ll first notice the beautiful high-end luxury vinyl plank flooring installed throughout the common areas. The home interior has been freshly painted with an in-vogue light gray. Nominally a full 2 bed 2 bath, a den space has been updated so it can be closed off and includes a murphy bed, making for a ready-made third sleeping area. An open kitchen comes outfitted with lovely granite countertops, a GAS stove, and plenty of cabinet space, including an awesome pull-out pantry. Tall ceilings allow for plenty of natural light and help accentuate the size of the kitchen/living space. Glass sliders lead out from the spacious living room to a private screened lanai, perfect for entertaining or taking in a beautiful Florida evening. All of the windows are outfitted with charming plantation shutters and the lanai slider can be closed up with an easy-to-use modern Vertiglide blind. The owner’s suite is a generously-sized room and comes complete with his-and-her closets. The master bath also comes with two vanities and a nice, large walk-in shower with the valve nicely situated right where you step in. Storage is no issue in this home: the laundry closet (equipped with two nice front loading LG units) has extra shelving and across the way the linen closet was expanded to add depth and space. This villa comes with a two-car garage outfitted with new shelving and cabinetry for extra storage. Other features of note include the addition of gutters around the house, high-end fan in the living room, and new screen for the front door. Fairfield is a quiet, friendly neighborhood where one can make use of a massive pool area that includes a jacuzzi and grilling area. A clubhouse and gym are also part of the amenities. The community is conveniently located near I-75 close to shopping and dining options, and an easy drive to Sarasota’s happening University Town Center. Being in a gated community where the HOA covers exterior maintenance (including the roof, landscaping, and exterior painting) and given it is turn-key furnished (“just bring your toothbrush”), this wonderful villa is absolutely picture perfect for snowbirds or retirees, anyone who is looking for their own slice of paradise without the hassle or the worry. It is a fantastic fit for any buyer: move-in ready and with low HOA fees, this is a great opportunity for anyone coming to enjoy the Florida life at an affordable price. Schedule your showing today!
