Welcome to resort-style living in Sarasota in one of the finest community locations along the Gulf Coast near the white sands of Siesta Key. This cozy one-bedroom, one-bath condominium is located in Bella Villino Condominiums, a gated community and a part of the award-winning, master-planned development of Palmer Ranch. The home has an open floor plan and a large living area with a breakfast bar that is centrally located. It has a utility/laundry closet and comes with an assigned, lighted carport that is adjacent to the building. New impact-resistant windows were installed and the building exterior refurbished, paid in full. The size of the rooms is nicely balanced, and the floor plan flows well as you move around.

The kitchen, dining room, and breakfast bar are in close proximity to each other, which serves to separate the oversized living room. The dining area is well situated to the side of the kitchen. The master suite has two closets and an en-suite bathroom with a roomy glass-front, walk-in shower. Bella Villino as a community boasts superb amenities not available at comparable properties in this price range.

A fenced tennis and pickleball court, a car detail area, gas grills with picnic areas and pet stations that are located around the property, an onsite manager and maintenance staff, and other amenities. It is close to world class beaches, marinas, the popular Legacy Trail (bicycle/jog/walk), shopping, restaurants, golf courses and much more. The home is ready for a new owner and simple to show. The location of this community and price are difficult to beat for a central Sarasota location along the Gulf Coast.
