One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Enjoy all the beauty and ambiance of living in the premier community of The Meadows, with 85 lakes and waterways, 14 miles of walking and bike trails, majestic oak trees, and the convenience to everything Sarasota offers in close range! An unsurpassed lifestyle that includes golf, 15 har-tru tennis courts, eight new pickleball courts (completed this year), lifestyle center, and a Junior Olympic size pool! The Meadows takes great pride in preserving its grand open spaces, and commitment to wildlife and ecology — which is truly exceptional! With eight foot sliding glass doors and high ceilings, this home is drenched in sunshine and beautiful views. The floor plan flows exceptionally well, with the feel of spaciousness and privacy, and is located in the charming small enclave of Highland Park; this villa style home is free standing with no adjoining walls and a generously large two-car garage. The large kitchen offers plenty of space for preparing those special evenings with family and friends. Situated between the mall at UTC and downtown Sarasota, it provides an opportunity to take advantage of the abundance of amenities, including sparkling beaches, a vibrant downtown, world renowned restaurants, exclusive shopping, the newly opened Mote Marine Aquarium, and the esteemed Nathan Benderson Park!
