Enjoy maintenance-free living at its finest in this stunning 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa + den, located within the 24/7 guard-gated (with two entrances) Prestancia golf community, in the highly sought-after enclave of Villa D’Este. A picturesque drive along Prestancia Boulevard, lined with majestic oak trees forming a beautiful canopy, leads you into this serene neighborhood. Surrounded by two championship golf courses, wetlands, cypress heads, ponds, and lagoons teeming with wildlife, Prestancia is proudly recognized as a sanctuary by the Audubon Society.

This residence features soaring ceilings and multiple skylights throughout, creating a bright, open, and inviting Florida-style atmosphere. Plantation shutters adorn all exterior windows, adding both elegance and functionality. A brand-new concrete tile roof, along with new skylights, gutters, downspouts, and fascia, ensures peace of mind for years to come.

The spacious living room showcases a wood-burning fireplace and built-in wet bar, seamlessly connecting to the tiled lanai via pocket sliders. This villa offers a rare extended lanai—stretching nearly the full length of the rear of the home —a feature found in very few villas in the community.

The adjacent dining room, complete with a built-in buffet, continues the home’s modern elegance. The large eat-in kitchen is light and bright, featuring newer cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast nook, a separate desk area, soffit lighting that highlights the volume ceilings, and ample storage.

Recent upgrades include a home security system with an electronic lock, a new secure locking screen door at the lanai, privacy screens, and interior locking hurricane shutters.

The primary suite serves as a private retreat with direct lanai access and a spa-like bathroom featuring a Jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, dual marble vanities, and a generous walk-in closet. The guest bathroom includes a soaking tub and a stylish glass vessel sink. A spacious den with a skylight and contemporary ceiling fan offers flexible space for a media room, office, or additional living area. The rear bedroom is equipped with a queen Murphy bed, built-in cabinetry, and a desk, making it ideal as either a guest room or home office.

Residents of Villa D’Este enjoy access to a beautifully maintained community pool and spa. Optional membership to TPC Prestancia Golf Club provides access to two 18-hole championship courses, along with dining and social activities. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, the Legacy Trail, and world-renowned Siesta Key Beach, this exceptional villa offers the perfect blend of elegance, modern upgrades, and the Sarasota lifestyle.
