Description

Set in the Palm Lakes community and positioned near the end of a quiet dead-end street, this extensively updated three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence offers 2,358 square feet of comfortable, well-proportioned living space with both privacy and convenience. The home is located just two miles from University Town Center, placing shopping, dining, and daily essentials within minutes.

Since 2017, the property has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, making it truly move-in ready. Major updates include the roof, air conditioning system, air-conditioned garage, kitchen, bathrooms, lanai, pool, widened paver driveway, flooring, and finishes—allowing the next owner to enjoy the home without tackling deferred maintenance or cosmetic projects.

A covered entry leads through etched-glass double doors into a bright, open interior with soaring ceilings and abundant natural light. Luxury COREtec vinyl flooring runs throughout the main living areas, providing both durability and warmth. The kitchen features quality cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island, creating a natural gathering space that opens seamlessly to the living areas and outdoor entertaining space.

The primary suite is generously sized and includes direct access to the lanai, a large walk-in closet, and a beautifully updated bath with dual vanities and a spacious walk-in shower. Additional bedrooms are well-proportioned and thoughtfully separated for privacy.

Outdoor living is a standout feature of this home. The screened lanai showcases a resurfaced pool surrounded by paver decking, peaceful lake views, a pool bath, and a built-in outdoor kitchen—ideal for entertaining or relaxed everyday living. Beyond the pool area, the professionally designed side yard offers gated and fenced artificial turf, making it perfect for dogs, along with a custom pergola that provides shaded space for lounging, grilling, or evening cocktails.

Mature landscaping, water views, and a widened paver driveway enhance both curb appeal and functionality. Residents enjoy close proximity to Conservatory Park trails, University Town Center, Publix, Whole Foods, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and Sarasota’s renowned beaches, including Siesta Key.

This is a well-cared-for home in a prime Sarasota location that balances indoor comfort, outdoor living, and everyday convenience.
