Property Description

Virtually Staged. Sarasota’s most beloved communities — Location! Location! Motivated seller is offering exceptional value in one of Sarasota’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

The Meadows, 1,600 park-like acres in an enviable location, is a resort lifestyle community 15 minutes from downtown. Residents enjoy 14 miles of trails, fun activities, fitness center, Junior Olympic pool, 10 pickleball courts, dining venues plus pay-to-play three 18-hole golf courses and a top-notch tennis complex.

This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features an open, comfortable split floorplan layout designed for effortless everyday living. The kitchen offers multiple dining spaces—from a bar-height counter to a bright breakfast nook—creating the perfect setting for morning routines and casual gatherings.

Expansive floor-to-ceiling sliders open the main living area to the spacious lanai and private backyard, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with Florida’s signature outdoor lifestyle. Whether hosting friends or enjoying quiet evenings, the flow feels natural and relaxed.

A true split floor plan provides privacy for guests, while the spa-inspired primary suite offers a calming retreat with a sunken whirlpool tub and custom vanity area. Thoughtful finishes throughout add warmth, comfort, and character. Major updates include a 2023 roof and 2025 HVAC, offering valuable peace of mind.

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this home places you minutes from Siesta Key Beach, Mote Marine Aquarium, Sarasota’s vibrant arts and theater district, UTC Mall, Benderson Park, Lakewood Ranch Waterside, and SRQ Airport—giving you access to the best of Sarasota living.

Homes that combine lifestyle, comfort, and community at this new price point are rare.
