Begin your day with your favorite cup of brew overlooking a serene pond, or re-cap your day with your favorite libation as you watch wildlife in this tranquil setting. This lovely condo is a treasured retreat. Arguably the best location in the development, this 2-bedroom 2 bath + den first floor condo lives like a single-family home but offers the convenience of maintenance free condo living. The spacious living area offers ample room for entertaining, while the semi-private kitchen allows the chef to work without revealing all their “magic”. Upgraded granite countertops, 36" upper cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a beautifully accented backsplash add to the charm. The master suite provides a peaceful escape, and the split floor plan ensures privacy when guests are visiting. The gated community offers many amenities including a resort-style heated pool, clubhouse, dog park, fitness center, and bocce ball court. With no CDD fees and a well-managed HOA/Condo Association, maintenance fees are low, making this community a smart choice. Located just minutes away from downtown Sarasota, cultural attractions, beautiful beaches and UTC Mall, this is truly a piece of paradise. And if you're not ready to move yet, the owner is willing to lease the property back for one year. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a slice of paradise!
