Turn into Chelmsford Close and you immediately realize you are not in an ordinary community. Buildings and grounds are impeccably maintained. The villas are of solid block construction capped with barrel tile roofs. Chelmsford Close is one of the most recently constructed communities in The Meadows (no popcorn ceilings, no cast iron plumbing). Enter your private courtyard through the iron gate. Step into the villa and your eyes are immediately drawn to the 10 foot ceiling capped with classic crown molding and accented by decorative parallel picture molding. Your den/office is open to the kitchen, but can be isolated by sliding a pair of pocket doors. The kitchen is bright, has a triple window set accented with plantation shutters, by the breakfast area. Granite countertops, newer cabinets and Stainless Steel appliances round out the kitchen. For relaxation, enjoy a refreshment on your screened lanai- accessible from both the master bedroom and living room- to take in the garden/golf view of the 6th green of the private Meadows course. Everything has been done for you, so just bring your toothbrush and maybe a paintbrush if you want to apply your favorite color. The Meadows is a quiet enclave in rapidly growing Sarasota County- 15 minutes from downtown. You'll have access to miles of walking/biking trails, and all that The Meadows Country Club has to offer. Club membership is optional, and offered at different levels, but many amenities are offered to you at no extra cost just for being a Meadows resident. Some of the country's most beautiful beaches are nearby, as well as world-class arts and culture, restaurants, entertainment and shopping- you’re literally a 5 minute walk to Benderson Park and just 2 miles from the mall at University Town Center. THIS is the Sarasota lifestyle!
