Property Description

Furnishings optional - make this home your own from day one!There is an easy, almost effortless feeling to this home-the kind of place where the glass doors slide open, the living space seems to stretch outdoors, and Florida becomes part of the room. Set within the gated community of Lakewood Ranch's University Place. this beautifully maintained residence offers the comfort of a private retreat with everything you need close at hand.Inside, high ceilings, solid flooring, stone countertops, and stainless-steel appliances create a polished, contemporary backdrop that feels upscale without feeling cold. And with a new roof, you can settle in with the confidence that one of the home's biggest investments has already been taken care of.Beyond the sliding glass doors is a large screened lanai, made for slow mornings with coffee, evening dinners, or simply enjoying the warm Florida air without the mosquitoes and bugs. The heated private pool makes the outdoor space even more inviting-your own little escape at the end of the day.Life here extends beyond your front door. The gated community offers two community pools, a fitness center, and a playground, giving you plenty of ways to swim, exercise, unwind, or simply step outside and enjoy the neighborhood. Pets are welcome, too. Even better, pool and pest control are included, adding convenience to an already easy lifestyle.And then there is the location. UTC, Nathan Benderson Park, Mote Marine Laboratory, and I-75 are just minutes away, while Sarasota's Gulf beaches, and downtown Sarasota are an easy drive. When the mood strikes, St. Petersburg and Tampa are close enough for a day trip, dinner on the water, a concert, or a weekend adventure.This is more than a place to rent. It is a place to settle into-to open the doors, let the Florida light pour in, and enjoy the life waiting just outside.
