This residence offers 3 full bedrooms, 2 baths, formal living and dining, an eat-in kitchen, and a family room. PLUS, an enclosed Florida room that is used as a wonderfully comfortable 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, 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). Upgraded Ridge-Core vinyl plank flooring and a built-in buffet sets the stage in the formal living and dining spaces. Adjacent is a modern eat-in kitchen with tiled flooring, solid surface counter tops and white raised panel cabinetry with a pantry. The ceiling has been raised to accommodate recessed lighting. The stainless-steel appliances remain. Nearby the laundry room with a washer and dryer has extra storage 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 and landscaped views. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, and a second separate closet with built-in shelves in the en suite bath. From here, and a newly carpeted guest bedroom, sliding glass doors access the screened and walled lanai. The third bedroom has double doors. As a bonus there is a new roof (2023). Nestled on a corner lot with 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!
