This residence has 3 full bedrooms, 2 baths, formal living and dining, an eat-in kitchen, and a family room. PLUS, an enclosed Florida room that can be ideally used as a den/study, expanding the interior square footage to 2, 274 square feet. There is also a covered and screened lanai with privacy for outdoor living, a 2-car garage (with a workbench), and a screened front porch; all combined together for nearly 3, 000 total square feet. (Please note that the tax records do not report all the square footage, and or classify the existing space as it is used). Improved with brand new carpet throughout, it has been professionally cleaned offering a move-in ready appeal. Many well-located skylights provide lots of natural lighting. Formal areas at the front of the home accommodate living and dining space with track lighting and built-in cabinetry with illuminated glass display shelving. Nearby is an updated eat-in kitchen with tiled flooring, Corian, a newer dishwasher, and white raised panel cabinetry with a pantry. The ceiling has been raised to have recessed lighting. A nicely appointed laundry room has a sink, cabinetry, a washer, and dryer, plus a convenient pocket door. A breakfast bar from the kitchen opens to the 300+ square foot family room. Complete with a skylight and soaring vaulted ceilings. It flows nicely into the enclosed Florida room with pocket sliding glass doors overlooking lovely greenbelt and landscaped views. The primary en suite has a walk-in closet and sliding glass doors to the screened and walled lanai. Its personal bath is crisp and clean with 3-foot cabinetry height, dual sinks, ceramic tile, a water closet, a walk-in shower, and a separate tub. The guest bath is next to the second bedroom with its own sliding glass door access to the garden courtyard with new fencing. A zoned front room is flexible with a secondary entrance from the 2-car garage. Use this space as a bedroom or an office. As a bonus there is a new roof (2023) with a 10-year warranty. The central A/C (with a heat pump) has been upgraded by the installation of UV bulbs & Ozone lighting that not only improve the air quality but increase the efficiency of the unit. This is still under warranty AND there is a transferable warranty on the unit itself (please contact us for more information). Showcasing a peaceful setting in Section VI at Center Gate Estates. Revered for its well-managed reserves and fees that include lawn service, exterior paint, impeccably maintained common spaces, a sparkling swimming pool, and screened enclosures with brick pavers and a covered entertainment area. NOT designated as a 55+ community, this villa will appeal to anyone of any age interested in its exceptional location close to I-75, Doctors Hospital, a myriad of shopping and dining options, as well as a short drive to UTC Mall, championship golf, area beaches and Downtown Sarasota!
