Nestled within the lush, established setting of The Meadows, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath villa offers a relaxed Florida lifestyle with tranquil garden views and maintenance-free living. A private driveway and a two-car garage welcome you home, framed by mature trees and manicured landscaping. Inside, the main living areas are light and inviting, highlighted by soaring cathedral ceilings that enhance the sense of space. A double-sided wood-burning fireplace creates a warm focal point, seamlessly connecting the living and dining areas, while a wet bar adds convenience for entertaining. Large windows and expansive sliding glass doors invite natural light and open to a spacious enclosed lanai—an ideal spot to relax or dine while enjoying peaceful outdoor views year-round. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with ample cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a custom pantry, and recessed lighting, offering both functionality and style. Recent improvements throughout the home include fresh interior paint, removal of popcorn ceilings (including the garage), new recessed lighting in all bedrooms, Toto high-flush toilets, a new hot water heater, and updated AC ductwork, providing true move-in-ready peace of mind. The primary suite is generously sized and serene, with soft natural light and a comfortable layout, while additional bedrooms are well-appointed for guests or a home office. Tile flooring in the main living spaces and soft carpet in the bedrooms add to the home’s comfort and ease of living. Ideally located just steps from one of Chandlers Forde’s two heated community pools, residents also enjoy access to The Meadows’ extensive amenities through the Renaissance Plan, including golf, dining, and social activities. Conveniently situated near downtown Sarasota, UTC, and a wide array of shopping and dining options such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, this villa offers the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and lifestyle.
