One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. The Trails is one of Sarasota's most sought-after neighborhoods. This 1996 custom home welcomes you the moment you arrive with its 2023 barrel-tile roof, paver driveway and walkway, and handsome navy double entry doors with etched glass. Inside, high ceilings and an immediate view of the pool and spacious caged lanai create a bright, open first impression. The kitchen features black marbled granite counters, white cabinetry, and a generous breakfast bar adjoining the caf-style dining area and large family room with built-ins and wood flooring. Two sets of sliding doors-including one full-pocket slider-fill the space with natural light and invite you to enjoy the covered lanai and pool. The primary suite, set apart for privacy, also offers wood floors, sliders to the lanai, a large walk-in closet, dual vanities, a private water closet, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. The Trails is prized for its location just off University Parkway-close to world-famous beaches, University Town Center, Lakewood Ranch, I-75, and the Sarasota International Airport, and all that downtown Sarasota has to offer. Low fees and no CDD. Amenities include a heated community pool, tennis courts and community room.
