Inside, the home presents like a model, featuring a stunning open-concept kitchen with granite countertops, a generous breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and premium soft-close wood cabinetry accented by under-cabinet lighting. A washer and dryer are conveniently located inside the residence, and elegant tile flooring extends throughout.
Major improvements provide peace of mind, including a new A/C system (2018), a roof replacement by the HOA (2019), and a recently re-plumbed building.

The location is unbeatable: just 2.2 miles from beach access with an easy bike ride, and within walking distance to Phillippi Estate Park—a picturesque 60-acre waterfront preserve offering kayaking, fishing, scenic trails, a playground, a weekly Wednesday farmers market, and a variety of community events including art fairs and concerts.
This pet-friendly, maintenance-free community includes basic cable, exterior and grounds maintenance, roof and window coverage, and pest control—all included in the low monthly fee of $1,273. Best of all, the community is not age-restricted.
Experience the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal elegance in this truly special Sarasota residence.
