One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Looking for a contemporary and almost-new home in the heart of Sarasota? Look no further than this wonderful property! This beautiful single-family home in the desirable Arlington Park neighborhood boasts 4 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths, a fenced landscaped garden with pool, and a 2-car garage.  Step inside the entrance hall, which opens up to the dining area with soaring two-story ceilings. The adjacent kitchen is a chef’s dream and the perfect place to entertain, complete with built-in KitchenAid appliances. The home is connected to city gas, so a passionate chef will enjoy cooking meals on the 5-burner built in gas stovetop and convection oven. The kitchen’s dark cabinetry is nicely accented by light-gray quartz countertops and a porcelain tile backsplash. The island features a stainless-steel double farm sink with garbage disposal, a PuroMax water filtration system, and modern pendant lighting. The kitchen is completed by the pantry and a separate laundry room with built-in cabinets, and washer and dryer. The living area boasts large sliding glass doors with Hunter Douglas window treatments that open to the lanai and garden, which invites you to relax in tropical surroundings. The living area is pre-wired for a sound system to make your next movie night an even bigger spectacle!   The master retreat features high vaulted ceilings and a view of the pool in the tropically landscaped and private backyard. The master bath features a vanity with double sinks and granite countertops, a large walk-in shower with dual shower heads, and connects to the large walk-in closet.  The home features a modern split floor plan, so the master bedroom has lots of privacy from the other three bedrooms, which are located upstairs. There, you will find three bedrooms, one of which comes with an en-suite bathroom. Additionally, the upstairs includes the family room and a third full bathroom. The hallway and family room are open to the downstairs dining and living area. A guest bathroom with a window to the side yard is smartly placed under the staircase to maximize the space. The 2-car garage has been upgraded with built-in ceiling storage, a durable Epoxy floor and a water heater with recirculating system to ensure hot water throughout the house without long wait times. The two zone AC helps stay cool during the hot Florida summers. The backyard is fully fenced with gates on both sides of the home, and there’s a brick paver walkway from the front of the home to the pool area in the back. The lush tropical landscaping with palms and a brick paver patio makes this the perfect oasis for relaxing or entertaining. The landscaping gets irrigated with well water, significantly reducing monthly water bills, and keeping the vegetation lush and green all year around. In addition to all these amazing features, the home is centrally located to many of Sarasota’s most desirable features: in just 5 minutes, access everyday amenities like Trader Joe’s, Publix, Morton’s and Whole Foods, downtown with its theaters, farmer’s market and restaurants, Sarasota’s famous beaches on Siesta Key and Lido Key, top-rated schools like Southside Elementary, as well as Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
