Nestled within a well-maintained and active 55+ community, this home offers a peaceful setting with lush landscaping and a vibrant social atmosphere, all while being just minutes from top-tier shopping, dining, golf, and Sarasota’s world-renowned beaches. This thoughtfully designed residence features a spacious, open and flexible floor plan with ceramic tile throughout, complemented by plush carpet in the living spaces. A light-filled Florida room and additional den space provide the perfect areas for relaxing, entertaining, or working from home. The updated kitchen is a standout, showcasing new cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, LED lighting, and ample counter space—blending modern style with everyday functionality.
