From the listing

Expansive lake views and beautifully maintained interiors distinguish this end-unit villa in Esplanade by Siesta Key. Built in 2014, the single-story residence offers three bedrooms, two baths, a den, and an attached two-car garage. Eight-foot doors, plantation shutters, and ceramic tile flooring throughout complement the open layout. Tray ceilings add architectural detail to the den, dining room, living room, and primary bedroom. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and breakfast-bar seating that connects naturally to the great room, creating an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. The den provides flexible space for a home office or quiet retreat, while a separate laundry room with a built-in utility sink and cherry cabinetry adds storage and convenience. A new HVAC system installed in 2025 and an exterior freshly painted that same year further enhance the home’s appeal. An extended screened paver lanai makes the most of the broad lake outlook, offering a welcoming setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, and unwinding beside the water. Esplanade by Siesta Key’s gated setting offers residents a clubhouse, fitness center, resort-style pool and spa, tennis and bocce courts, and a dog park. Nearby Siesta Key beaches, local dining, and shopping complete the opportunity to enjoy Sarasota’s coastal lifestyle.
