Welcome to what may be the most beautifully updated Villa home in all of Village Gardens. Every imaginable upgrade has been taken care of with a major renovation in 2022. The kitchen has a stainless appliance package which includes an induction range & range hood, a French door refrigerator & freezer with an icemaker and a dishwasher. Design elements include striking quartz countertops, tile backsplash, Shaker cabinets and a farm sink. The breakfast bar and pass through have been enlarged opening long sight lines into the combined Dining & Living room. This “great room” has a vaulted ceiling and a clerestory window allowing light to stream in from above. The lanai has been fully enclosed adding to the total Living Area. It’s accessible from the Living Room and the Owner’s Suite and leads to a large brick paver patio perfect for outdoor entertaining. This “Pine Model” is a two-bed, two bath “split plan” property making it a comfortable place for roommates and guests. The baths have both been updated with custom frameless glass showers, Linker Stone floors and quartz counters. Closets are built out with adjustable shelving behind Shaker style interior doors aligning design elements through the entire home. Throughout, you will find luxury vinyl flooring, wide baseboards, recessed lighting and Plantation shutters. There is an interior laundry, a newer AC system and even “whole house” surge protection. The property has been “re-piped” and all drainage lines were recently lined. Other important features include impact resistant “hurricane” windows, a natural gas hot water heater and attic access for storage. There is also exterior storage for beach toys and gardening tools. Village Gardens is one of Sarasota’s hidden gems! It’s a peaceful, tree-canopied community with many recreational amenities including a pool, pickle ball & tennis courts and a clubhouse with activities. It’s just minutes to downtown Sarasota and all north side cultural & educational institutions including the Ringling Museum of Art & Design, Asolo Theatre of Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet, Ringling College of Art and Design and USF! University Parkway provides quick access to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport and University Town Center.
