This home in the beautiful Highlands section of The Meadows will truly wow you! Everything is done here - from the most important and costly structural items (NEW TILE ROOF! NEW IMPACT WINDOWS!) to a complete - and completely tasteful! - interior renovation. The curb appeal is fantastic and it now begins all the way at the gorgeous entrance to the community, which features an upscale new sign and tons of brightly-colored flowers. After meandering through the treed streets of the neighborhood (with 20 miles of trails & sidewalks throughout + fitness and access to the community pool are now included in your HOA fee!), you'll enter The Highlands, one of the newest and most luxurious sections of the community, and approach your future home...A welcoming pavered patio leads up to French doors, and you can tell even from here that this home has been supremely well cared-for. The front doors open to a very spacious great room with soaring ceilings and lots of light, and you'll also immediately appreciate the beautiful tones of the engineered hardwood floors throughout. A large & comfortable dining room is adjacent to the great room and there is also eating space in the fully renovated kitchen, where chic gray granite and a lustrous backsplash complement white solid wood cabinetry and stainless appliances. A large pantry, also decked out with upscale finishes, can accommodate all of your quarantine-cooking accoutrements, and you'll also love the butcher-block topped additional cabinetry in the breakfast nook (perfect for an in-house fancy coffee bar!). It is a split floor plan and we'll head to the master suite first...the vaulted ceilings give such a feeling of spaciousness and the master bath is to die for! The dark wood cabinetry plays nicely with sophisticated granite & tile choices, and -bonus! - there is a private patio for your enjoyment too. The shower is large & luxurious, there is a great walk-in closet, and the laundry closet is conveniently located right here. The two guest bedrooms are very nicely sized, and the updated guest bath also functions as a pool bath. The sunny Florida room is the perfect spot for lounging, though there is also plenty of space around your sparkling pool (that is big enough for lap swimming!). This home has proportions that are simply perfect - lots of space but never lacking coziness - and it has been maintained immaculately in every way. A stunning home in a nature-filled neighborhood that is just minutes from downtown Sarasota, the amenities of the University Park corridor, Nathan Benderson Park, AND the beaches...you've been looking for the ideal next spot to call home and you have truly found it here!
