Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in a newer gated community in the Palmer Ranch area, this tranquil and well-appointed home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, plus a den, the open split-bedroom floorplan is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious kitchen boasts upgraded 42" cabinetry, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar that seamlessly connects to the living and dining areas, while the den offers a private retreat tucked off to the side. Tile flooring flows through the main living spaces, with low-maintenance laminate in the bedrooms.

If it is a pool you desire, there is room for one here (sketch attached). This upscale community of 49 homes showcases timeless curb appeal, with each home featuring brick paver driveways and entry walks, elegant stone exterior accents, and durable barrel tile cement roofs. The low HOA fee includes gated entry, grounds maintenance, lawn irrigation, and access to the community playground. Ideally located near I-75, this community is just minutes from world-famous Siesta Key, vibrant downtown Sarasota, and an array of shops, dining, parks, and trails, some just a couple blocks away. Top-rated schools are also nearby, making this home an exceptional choice. Up to 1% of the loan amount for rate buy down or lender credits are being offered specifically for this home
