Situated in the highly desirable Esplanade by Siesta Key community, this maintenance-free villa is just minutes away from downtown Sarasota and the pristine, crystal-sand beaches of Siesta Key. Enjoy breathtaking water views from multiple vantage points within the villa. The living room opens up to an expansive lake view that creates a serene atmosphere. The kitchen is equipped with generous granite counters, making it both functional and stylish. This villa offers two en suite bedrooms, a third bedroom, and an office or den that can also serve as an additional guest room. The primary bedroom boasts impressive lake views, an en suite bathroom with double sinks, a spacious shower, and a large walk-in closet. The den provides a quiet, inviting space for work or relaxation. Step onto the extended lanai and experience the beauty of lush foliage and shimmering lake views. Whether enjoying a morning cup of coffee or a sunset dinner, the lanai offers the perfect setting for peaceful outdoor living. The villa has been "lightly lived-in," as the owners only reside here for short periods each year. Upgrades include Plantation shutters throughout, ceiling fans, granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, custom cabinets in the laundry room, hurricane shutters, lanai pre-wired and plumbed for a summer kitchen, epoxy flooring in the garage, gutters, and a hurricane-resistant garage door. Esplanade by Siesta Key offers a variety of first-class amenities, including an elegant Amenity Center, pool and spa, a fully equipped fitness room, pickle ball court, Har-Tru tennis court, and a dog park. Residents can participate in a full menu of social activities and enjoy the benefits of no CDD fees and no hurricane concerns. This is a rare opportunity to experience Sarasota living at its finest. Furniture is optional.
