Experience the true FLORIDA LIFESTYLE in this beautiful two-bedroom, two-bath villa. You will find this charmer in Sandleheath, one of the most popular neighborhoods in the Meadows Golf and Country Club community. This home boasts a gorgeous water view, a living/dining combo with a vaulted ceiling, an attached one-car garage, and UPDATES throughout: NO carpet, NO wallpaper and NO popcorn ceilings here–making it move-in ready! The perfect setting for your morning coffee or afternoon BBQ awaits in the Pergola-covered, brick-paved front patio, which segues conveniently through glass sliders into the updated kitchen. Showcasing Shaker-style cabinets, a backsplash in beautiful grey subway tile, stainless appliances, recessed lighting, and stone countertops, the kitchen has an enlarged pass-through to the combination dining/living area. High ceilings and ceiling-to-floor windows make this END UNIT villa bright and spacious! You will enjoy the glass-enclosed lanai all year long, never tiring of its serene pond-and-nature views. This villa’s split floor plan has a guest bedroom and separate bathroom. The guest bathroom boasts a Talavera tile sink, hand-painted in Mexico, and a cobalt tile countertop. The spacious primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and an En-Suite bathroom which has been completely renovated: quartz countertops, new high-end cabinets and fixtures, hand-painted shower tiles from Spain, wood-look tile flooring, a new pebble tile floor in the shower stall, and high-end clear glass tall shower doors complete the Euro-chic aesthetic. Other updates throughout the home include bamboo flooring, new paint, crown molding, new ceiling fans and solid wood shelving in the closets. Even the light switches have been moved, making them more accessible than they were before. Just steps away from this villa are two newly-resurfaced Sandleheath pools; around the corner is the walking/dog path which leads to the Meadows Village Center and 15 miles of scenic walking/biking trails. Meadows residents also enjoy a new fitness/activities center with state-of-the-art equipment, an activities director, three golf courses (two of which offer discounted rates to residents), roaming security throughout the community, a Junior Olympic pool, dining options, pickleball, and 17 Har-Tru tennis courts. (Membership plans for some of the amenities are required but totally optional.) There are many clubs, lectures, and social events scheduled through the Meadows Country Club, as well as regular Sandleheath-specific activities. All residents receive The Meadoword, a monthly community publication which features general information as well as news and schedules of upcoming events. Conveniently located near the UTC corridor and its fabulous dining and retail options, the Meadows has easy access to the Sarasota airport, I-75, the area’s world-class beaches, and beautiful downtown Sarasota with its outstanding theatre, opera, ballet, museums, restaurants, and the award-winning Marie Selby Botanical Gardens!
