A Rare Blend of Serenity, Style & Smart Living Set gracefully along a peaceful pond in the sought-after Bay Landing community, this meticulously maintained residence offers something increasingly rare: the feeling of having your own private retreat while remaining just minutes from everything Sarasota has to offer. From the moment you arrive, the home’s setting captivates. Beyond the backyard, tranquil water and preserve views create a constantly changing backdrop of light, color, and nature. Morning coffee becomes a quiet ritual on the covered patio, while evenings invite you to slow down, unwind, and take in the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the coveted Lantana open-concept floor plan unfolds with an effortless sense of space. Sunlight pours into the home, illuminating a beautifully appointed kitchen where style meets function. Stainless steel appliances, luxurious granite countertops, espresso cabinetry extending to the ceiling, and an elegant backsplash create a sophisticated culinary centerpiece. A generous breakfast island anchors the space and opens naturally to the expansive living room and dining nook—perfect for everything from casual mornings to memorable gatherings with family and friends. The owner’s suite is a sanctuary within the sanctuary, offering serene proportions and a spa-inspired en suite bath. Dual granite-topped vanities, a deep soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed shower, linen closet, and private water closet create a space designed for both convenience and relaxation. Three additional bedrooms offer exceptional flexibility. Two share a stylish full bath, while the fourth bedroom—paired with a convenient half bath—can effortlessly become a private guest retreat, home office, creative studio, or whatever your lifestyle calls for. Thoughtful details continue throughout, including a dedicated laundry room, abundant storage, and a two-car garage with motorized opener. Modern energy-efficient features and a state-of-the-art smart home package add another layer of comfort, convenience, and peace of mind. And life here extends well beyond your front door. Bay Landing residents enjoy an inviting community pool and sun patio, keycard-access fitness center, playground, dog park, and expansive sidewalks made for evening strolls. The HOA includes these amenities plus irrigation, while the property offers the added advantages of NO CDD FEES and NO FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIRED (Flood Zone X). Then there is the location. Publix is approximately 3 minutes away, Detwiler’s Farm Market about 5 minutes, UTC Mall just 7 minutes, and Fruitville Commons and Waterside Shops only 2–4 minutes away. Downtown Sarasota and the area’s world-famous Gulf beaches are an easy drive when the mood strikes. With a transferrable builder’s warranty, a coveted pond-front setting, modern technology, resort-style amenities, and an enviable Sarasota location, this is more than a beautifully maintained home. It is a place where everyday life feels a little more peaceful, weekends feel a little more effortless, and coming home feels like arriving at your own private escape. A rare opportunity to own the lifestyle—not just the address.
