Come home to beautifully manicured landscaping and towering pines that frame this home set on one of the largest NATURAL lakes in Sarasota County. Entering the home, you will be greeted by sunlight streaming through the hurricane rated windows and sliding doors that open to your private screened retreat overlooking the lake with waterbirds including rosette spoonbill, cranes, osprey and bald eagle. Entertaining is a breeze in this open kitchen tastefully decorated with cherry wood cabinets, granite counters, updated stainless steel appliances. Your guests will be wowed not only by your first-class finishes, but also the views to this one-of-a-kind lake. Wake to breakfast in the kitchen, prepare the holiday meal for the dining area, or enjoy the breeze from the lake and have a picnic on your lanai. Enjoy the flames of the fire in the dining room or living through the double-sided see-through fireplace. Grab your favorite book and sit out on your private lanai with lake views while taking in the serenity and peace that surrounds you. Retire to the master bedroom with its spa-like en-suite bath featuring dual sinks, a soaking tub and separate shower. Be inspired in your own private place to work in the separate office with lake views out the window. This home is tastefully decorated with planation shutters and designer window treatments. You will not be disappointed. Longwood Villas is an almost completely maintenance free community. There are very few communities where you own the home and the association takes care of the exterior maintenance including the roof AND building insurance. Just 3 miles to the UTC Mall and Benderson Park, 2 miles to Detwilers Market and a quick stroll to Jessica's Organic Farmstand, Florida’s oldest. This home is minutes to SRQ Airport, downtown Sarasota and it’s cultural offerings and Sarasota’s world-renowned beaches.
