About This Property

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. LET'S MAKE A DEAL! Positioned as one of the best buys in The Landings, with arguably the best location and amenities the community offers, this beautifully maintained second-floor coach home delivers standout value. A brand new roof, gutters, AC, exterior paint, resurfaced roads, and a brand new community pool set the stage in The Landings, one of Sarasota's most established guard-gated communities. Tucked at the end of a private cul-de-sac just one block from the pool and community amenities, the setting offers privacy and convenience in equal measure, with the big-ticket items already handled. A private entry framed by distinctive tile steps opens to a light-filled interior where soaring vaulted ceilings give the space an immediate sense of openness. Wide-plank wood flooring runs through the main living areas, connecting each room with an easy flow while keeping the dining, living, and kitchen spaces nicely defined. Just off the living area, an enclosed lanai lined with expansive sliding glass doors looks out over peaceful treetops, a quiet spot equally suited to morning coffee or winding down in the evening. At the heart of the home, the kitchen balances function and warmth with white cabinetry, granite countertops, custom tile backsplash detailing, and a sunlit eat-in area. A breakfast bar opens to the living and dining rooms for effortless entertaining, while a built-in dry bar adds character, extra storage, and a natural spot to serve guests. The primary suite carries the same vaulted ceilings and includes a flexible alcove that works beautifully as a sitting area or home office, along with a dedicated dressing space, built-in storage, and an oversized walk-in closet. Its en-suite bath offers a walk-in shower with bench seating, generous counter space, and timeless finishes. Two additional bedrooms and a guest bath round out the layout, leaving room for visitors, hobbies, or a work-from-home setup. Life here is genuinely maintenance-free. The HOA covers the roof, windows, sliders, screens, exterior paint, landscaping, pest control, cable and Xfinity service, and insurance from the drywall out. The home sits approximately 21 feet above sea level and is not in a flood zone, an increasingly meaningful detail on the Gulf Coast. Residents of The Landings enjoy the Racquet Club with tennis and pickleball, resort-style and lap pools, a fitness center, clubhouse, and an active social calendar, plus a scenic nature trail leading to Roberts Bay, where a kayak launch and fishing dock offer direct access to the water. A private garage with attic storage, a paver driveway, and convenient guest parking complete this move-in-ready residence, close to the beaches, dining, and culture that define Gulf Coast life. Come experience the comfort and ease of The Landings for yourself. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER. INQUIRE FOR MORE DETAILS.**
