This exceptional custom Sarasota home with a NEW ROOF (later in March, 2023) on a large, private golf course lot is located on a quiet cul-de-sac and includes a private saltwater pool and a huge 3-car garage. Pricewise, you won’t find anything like this in Lakewood Ranch or University Park. And you can avoid the exorbitant CDD or RDD fees and taxes that come with owning property there. Here, your HOA is only $75/YEAR and there is NO CDD FEE. You will enjoy the convenience of being west of I-75 enabling you to avoid a good portion of the seasonal congestion and be closer to the beaches and downtown as well as the airport. This DYNAMIC, RENOVATED home is located on the third hole of the legendary Lakes course of Palm Aire, and offers a professionally landscaped yard, a majestic circular drive, double-door entry, spacious high ceilings with updated LED lighting and crown molding. You will find solid cherry & wood cabinetry throughout the house (Dovetail corners, soft close) as well as a beautifully updated gourmet kitchen with designer granite countertops. Enjoy a spacious 3-car garage with new controls (2022), the dramatic openness created by 11 panels of pocket sliders that open onto the lanai, 9 ceiling fans, 20-inch diagonally-laid tile in the principal living areas with carpet in all the bedrooms, a freshly painted exterior as well as the safety and security of 3M film-coated windows. There's plenty of room & storage (3 large bedrooms PLUS A DEN/OFFICE with high-quality built-in cabinetry & granite tops). This home was built for entertaining as you can easily accommodate 75 guests or more. The large master suite includes two full walk-in closets as well as dual sinks in the master bath. Your east facing, heated saltwater pool and lanai provide access to gentle morning sun and a shield from the brutal western afternoon sun. Here, you will find elegant imported French-pattern travertine tile surrounding the pool. The pool was re-surfaced (2015) with PebbleTec’s premium finish, PebbleSheen. If golf is your game, you will find access to 63-holes of championship golf just a chip shot away whether you chose the private Palm Aire Country Club offering 36 holes or the semi-private University Park Country Club’s 27-holes. Both clubs have MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE without a waiting list, unlike some of their celebrated east of I-75 counterparts. Enjoy golf, tennis, pickleball, an Olympic-sized pool & fitness facilities as well as social/dining. In both cases, the array of MEMBERSHIPS ARE OPTIONAL. Minutes to the Ringling Museum, UTC Mall, Sarasota's exceptionally vibrant downtown, & our stunning Gulf Coast beaches as well as the airport.
