One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Tucked within a small, quiet enclave, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath villa offers comfort, flexibility, and a great location on the IMG Academy Golf Club Course, though there is no mandatory membership. Vaulted ceilings and a statement double sided wood burning fireplace add character and a touch of drama to the main living areas, while also creating a natural separation between the living and dining spaces. Updates include newer kitchen cabinetry, quartz countertops, brand new high quality luxury vinyl plank flooring, brand new plush carpet, and fresh interior paint throughout. Finished in neutral tones, the home offers a versatile canvas ready to suit a variety of styles. A gated front courtyard area creates a private approach to the home. The spacious primary suite includes ample closet space with built in features and an ensuite bath. The second and third bedrooms share a hall bath, with the third bedroom offering two entrances, including French doors off the foyer, making it ideal for an office or flex space. Just inside the garage, a versatile nook and adjoining area off the kitchen offers flexible use as a casual dining space, small office, hobby area, or drop zone. Multiple sliding glass doors open to a screened patio overlooking the golf course and a peaceful pond. Residents can also enjoy access to two community pools within the neighborhood. Located in a quiet enclave yet close to IMG Academy, State College of Florida, the beaches, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. A balance of peaceful surroundings and everyday convenience.
