Under contract-accepting backup offers. For those who cherish an active lifestyle, discover your perfect two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with den and a two-car garage, offering nearly 2,000 square feet of bright, airy living space built with block construction in Cascades, Sarasota’s premier 55+ community. Although this residence was bought less than a year ago as a forever home, changing life circumstances have led to its availability. The owners, who did not originally intend to move, have made numerous upgrades: the interior freshly painted with Sherwin-Williams Emerald paint; driveway pavers sealed; tile and lanai roof meticulously cleaned and treated with a protective coating; new lanai screens installed; garage walls repainted and new epoxy flooring added; all living areas (except recently updated bedrooms) fitted with new engineered hardwood floors; new GFCI outlets and matching electrical covers throughout; and a brand new KitchenAid dishwasher. This highly desirable St. Kitts floor plan thoughtfully separates the bedrooms by the living space and features an open kitchen layout. Revel in soaring ceilings and a private pavered lanai—the ideal spot to unwind with your favorite drink or nurture your plants in peaceful solitude. The master suite boasts two walk-in closets and a spacious bathroom equipped with dual vanities, a walk-in shower, soaking tub, and a separate water closet. Hosting guests is a breeze with a generously sized dining room and a large eat-in kitchen. The guest bedroom is enhanced by a built-in dresser, while the versatile den serves as either a home office or an extra bedroom, thanks to a desk that folds into a Murphy bed. Additional highlights include newer appliances, a 2020 air conditioning system recently serviced, freshly cleaned and serviced storm shutters, and a convenient interior laundry room. Spanning more than 25,000 square feet, the recently renovated clubhouse offers a heated pool accessible both indoors and outdoors, alongside a spa, sauna, fitness center, and six Har-Tru tennis courts. Additional facilities include a large banquet hall/theater, billiards room, bocce ball courts, horseshoe pits, and two pickleball courts. Residents have the opportunity to engage in pottery classes complete with an on-site kiln, arts and crafts, and a variety of social clubs. With a full-time social director, a tennis professional, and a part-time fitness instructor, there is always an activity to enjoy. This gated community is conveniently located close to downtown Sarasota, Sarasota International Airport, pristine beaches, and premier golf courses, providing a comprehensive lifestyle. Association fees cover amenities such as cable TV, fiber-optic internet, neighborhood security, lawn care, partial plant maintenance, and irrigation, with no CDD fees, and permits two large pets. Discover luxury, resort-style, maintenance-free living in this exceptional home!
