Welcome to the community of Sandhill Preserve located in the highly sought after SW Palmer Ranch area of Sarasota. This Divosta built Castle Rock floorplan with up-graded hurricane impact windows shows like a model & is located on a premium lake view lot. The home boasts a generous 1866 sq ft of living space. Driving through the upscale gated entrance you'll notice the pride of ownership throughout the whole community. From brick paver driveways, tiled roofs and manicured landscapes making you feel welcomed. When you first enter your new home, you'll notice a spacious Den/Office with 18" diagonal tile and dual 8 ft glass doors. As you wander further into the home, you'll see the quality of a Divosta built home. With high ceilings, crown Mouldings, and 8ft doors throughout. No expense was spared. Let's start with the energy efficient upgraded hurricane storm resistant impact windows throughout the entire home. This is a huge benefit for lowering insurance costs while providing better insulation, less exterior noise resulting in a comfortable living space. The homeowner tastefully decorated the windows with upgraded plantation shutters. Once you arrive in the open living area you notice the gourmet kitchen with 36 handle pecan-stained wood cabinetry. All lower cabinets have custom wood pullouts. The kitchen is finished off with extra thick stone counter tops with a huge center island. FYI the 3 ratan stools stay, (see list of other items staying). The space is not only functional but adds plenty of counter space for baking and/or entertaining family and friends. There is also a convenient walk-in pantry for better organization and storage. Did I mention that Sandhill Preserve is a natural gas community? That's right stainless-steel whirlpool gas appliances. The chef in your family will love the functionality of their new kitchen yet will also appreciate being in an area where everyone can entertain together. The flooring is enhanced with 18' tile floors set on diagonal throughout. The area flows around the dining area and into the upgraded Florida room as well as a spacious Great room/Family room. The master suite is well thought out allowing for larger furniture yet leaving you feeling comfortable. The master bathroom has an upgraded glass shower enclosure, stone counter tops with his and her sinks. You also have a private water closet and one of the largest walk-in closets that will be the envy of friends and family. You have a generous 2nd bedroom with a nicely equipped bathroom nearby with a tile tub/shower combination. The laundry is equipped with a washer and upgraded gas dryer - both remain. The extended garage is approximately 25' x 20' with custom wall cabinetry for storage (small cabinet to left of sink in garage does not convey). If that's not enough the tall nine foot + ceilings allow for installation of storage racks for holiday decorations and keepsakes. The landscaping all around this premium property is beautiful, neat and maintained by the homeowner's association. The beautiful lake view from your screened brick paver patio is a great space for afternoon BBQ's or just relaxing with a book or cup of coffee. The community center features an Olympic size heated swimming pool, a heated spa, state of the art fitness center, tennis courts and an elegant fire pit for casual evenings. All this a short 5 min walk from you front door. The pride of ownership oozes from every inch of this home.
