This villa in the active lifestyle community of Palm Aire is truly special. An end unit surrounded on 3 sides by greenspace and lush landscaping, providing wonderful privacy and a serene setting. It is one of the rare units in the small Fairway Bend community that is greater than 2,000 sq ft, that has 3 full bedrooms and a garage not just for 2 cars but also for a golf cart! A great home for entertaining family and friends. The large kitchen is open to both the living and family room areas with a 10 foot long breakfast bar. As you walk in the front door, your eyes will immediately be drawn to the wide-open view of the backyard. The entire wall of floor-to-ceiling glass all along the far side of the huge 30’ x 11’ Florida Room visually brings the outdoors in. It creates the impression that the interior space is endless. Yes, this home is very special. It is worth your time. Come and see! As you will see in the pictures, the kitchen has been nicely updated. Ask to see how the very clever corner base cabinets work, taking full advantage of all the storage space available. The master and guest bedrooms are at opposite ends of the home offering wonderful privacy and both have ensuite baths. The 3rd bedroom is adjacent to the master and separated by pocket doors so you can either incorporate it as a sitting area or nursery off the master or close it off as a separate 3rd bedroom or office. As you approach the home, you’ll be charmed as you walk by the fountain in the beautifully landscaped extended front court yard. It even has its own separate irrigation system for easy maintenance and is shaded with a contemporary style sail awning. This home has even been pre-wired for easy connection to a whole house generator. The Fairway Bend Association, as a maintenance-free community, takes care of and is responsible for both the grounds and the building exterior. In fact, they just recently replaced the roof on this villa! Fairway Bend is part of the larger, delightful and active Palm Aire community. Country club memberships are reasonable and optional, offering golf, tennis, pickleball, fitness, fine dining and lots of social activities. Visit PalmAire.net for more info. Fairway Bend has its own separate heated community pool that is just a 1/10 mile walk from this home. The community is ideally located with easy access to I-75, the incredible University Town Center and surrounding shopping areas, the Sarasota international airport, downtown Sarasota, and our award winning beaches.
