If you’ve been hunting for that just right Sarasota home that feels private, spacious, and a little bit special—this is it. Tucked at the very end of a quiet, dead-end street (no thru traffic, no random cars whizzing by), this upgraded end-unit townhome is the kind of place where you can actually hear the birds in the morning. And if you’re a veteran, here’s the cherry on top: you could snag this home’s rare assumable VA mortgage and lock in a rate that will have your wallet breathing a sigh of relief. Inside, the smart floor plan gives you 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a roomy primary suite on the first floor—because climbing stairs at bedtime is overrated. The kitchen? It’s a show-off. More cabinets and counter space than any other model in the community, perfect for cooking marathons, cocktail parties, or just spreading out your Sunday brunch. Upstairs, Brazilian chestnut wood floors give way to plush carpet in the bedrooms, plus a cozy office nook for work or homework, and a flexible bonus room—ideal for a guest space, gym, or binge-watching headquarters. And when you want to relax? You’ve got two screened outdoor living areas—one downstairs, one upstairs—both looking out over peaceful preserve land that will never be developed. Recent upgrades mean low-maintenance living: Generator hookup + transfer switch New roof (2025) & fresh exterior paint (2024) Dual-zone HVAC with coil replaced in 2024 Wired for a full security system The HOA handles the big stuff—landscaping, irrigation, water/sewer, roof, exterior insurance, road reserves, gated entry—saving you $3,000–$4,000+ a year compared to covering those costs yourself. All of this, just minutes from I-75, UTC Mall, Nathan Benderson Park, the new Mote Aquarium, and Sarasota’s best restaurants and cultural spots. If you’re ready for privacy, upgrades, and a location that puts everything at your fingertips—this is the one.
