As you approach the home, you're welcomed by a charming courtyard, perfect for planting vibrant flowers or a fragrant herb garden to enhance your culinary creations. Upon entering through the leaded glass front door, you’ll notice the beautiful engineered mahogany wood floors. This home has been thoughtfully updated over the years to enhance both comfort and efficiency. All interior windows have been upgraded to energy-efficient dual-pane glass, while the kitchen was remodeled to include granite countertops, recessed lighting, elegant crown molding, skylights, and a custom tumbled tile backsplash. The primary ensuite was remodeled and features dual vanities, granite counters, and an expanded shower with niches and beautiful tile work. Additional updates include a new roof in 2013 (completed by the condo association), new gutters in 2013, AC in 2018, and a hot water heater in 2016. There are no CDD fees or mandatory golf memberships, but two heated community pools are available for your enjoyment! You also have numerous optional Palm Aire Golf & Country Club memberships to choose from, including social and active options. Some of the many offerings include Pickleball, two 18-hole championship golf courses, a fitness center, Har-Tru tennis courts, and activities such as visual arts, food and wine, gardening, and a host of card-playing groups. Within just minutes of venturing out, you'll enjoy all the restaurants and shopping along the University Corridor, including the UTC Mall, Fresh Market, and Whole Foods, as well as easy access to Downtown Sarasota, SRQ Airport, and the world-famous sugar sand beaches. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey, fully furnished villa with high-end furnishings from renowned brands like Lane and Tommy Bahama. Take advantage of a unique opportunity to benefit from the seller's busy schedule, as the like-new, premium furnishings have been used sparingly, only a few weeks each year.
