Nestled within The Lakes, a well-manicured, sought-after community near downtown Sarasota, this elegant home reflects a well-designed open floor plan, light-filled rooms, high ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, and a very private heated salt-water pool/spa with a stylish cabana dining area. From the street, the presentation is of mature landscaping, newer driveway/walkway pavers, and a dramatic front entrance with a 12’ ceiling. Inside are stainless kitchen appliances; wood-burning fireplace in the family room; separate dining with large, arched window; newer master bathroom with soaking tub; and a sizeable office – all in excellent condition. 10’ ceilings in the MBR, living, dining, kitchen, and family rooms. The large master bedroom looks out to the sunny pool and patio. In a separate wing: two bedrooms, office, family/cabana bathroom, and laundry room. All bedrooms boast walk-in closets. Two-car garage. The Lakes is a park-like community, one of the very nicest, well-maintained and managed communities in the Sarasota area. Amenities include two heated pools/spas, two tennis courts, a fitness centre, and a clubhouse. Located within easy reach of downtown, I-75, and the beaches, this is a fantastic home in a wonderful community!
