About This Property
Rarely does a home combine this many lifestyle features with such an easy, welcoming sense of place. Set on a beautifully landscaped corner lot in Palm Aire with no HOA, no deed restrictions and no CDD, this property offers an exceptional blend of freedom, privacy and easy indoor-outdoor living. Thoughtfully designed for both quiet moments and lively gatherings, this is a home that makes everyday life feel a little more special. At the heart of the property is a 1,400-square-foot screened lanai that becomes a natural extension of daily life, with covered areas for long lunches, quiet afternoons and evenings that stretch well past sunset. There is always something to enjoy without ever leaving home, from a dip in the heated saltwater pool or a soak in the four-person hot tub to friendly competition on the six-hole putting green, bocce court or cornhole area. An outdoor shower adds another layer of convenience after a day by the pool. It is the kind of setting made for spontaneous gatherings, weekend visits and memorable moments shared with family and friends. The layout naturally brings people together with an open floor plan that also opens effortlessly to the outdoors. Sliding glass doors from both the living area and kitchen create an easy connection to the lanai and pool, allowing the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow together as one inviting setting. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character to the main living area, while the updated kitchen features granite countertops, generous cabinetry, a large island and newer appliances. The split-bedroom layout includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1 half bath, along with an air-conditioned laundry room. Additional features include a metal roof, 2019 A/C and ductwork, hurricane-impact-resistant windows and doors across the front of the home, two storage sheds and extra exterior electrical outlets. All of this comes together in Palm Aire, an established residential area with a convenient Sarasota location near University Parkway, UTC, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, downtown Sarasota and the Gulf Coast beaches. With so much to enjoy at home and so much of Sarasota within easy reach, this Palm Aire property offers a rare opportunity to live comfortably, entertain effortlessly and make the most of Florida every day.
