Located in the highly coveted community of Esplanade by Siesta Key, just minutes from downtown Sarasota and the crystal sand beaches of Siesta Key, this gorgeous home with tropical garden and lush preserve views is maintenance-free. You will enjoy luxurious living with two en-suite bedrooms, an additional half-bath, and a den that could easily be turned into a third bedroom. The large gourmet kitchen features a generous quartz island, solid wood cabinets and GE stainless steel appliances, gas range with a double oven (one convection) and a breakfast nook. Adjacent to the great room, sunlight streams into the dining room through Plantation shutters. The exquisite primary bedroom features bay windows that overlook the garden, and is en-suite, as is the second bedroom. The primary bathroom offers quartz counter tops, double sinks, and a spacious shower. Quiet and inviting, the den provides the perfect space as a guest bedroom. Upon returning to the great room, step through the sliding glass doors into the expansive lanai, and enjoy your morning coffee, a good book, or a sunset dinner overlooking tropical foliage and preserve beyond. With tray ceilings throughout, crown molding, custom closets, and laundry room with cabinets and a window allowing natural light, this sophisticated home includes many upgrades, including Plantation shutters, impact windows on the front of the house, ceiling fans, hurricane shutters, and roll-down hurricane shutters on the lanai’s sliding glass doors. The enlarged garage also features epoxy flooring. The home has been “lightly” lived-in, as owners reside here only part-time. This community’s amenities are second to none, including the elegant clubhouse, pool and spa, fully equipped fitness room, pickle ball, Har-Tru tennis court, and dog park. Enjoy the full menu of social activities, plus no CDD fees, and no problems with hurricanes. Only minutes to Siesta Key beach, downtown, restaurants and shopping, don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to experience Sarasota living at its finest. Turnkey furnished and ready to move in.
