Prepare to be captivated by the elegance and sophistication of this exquisite Roma model home, situated in the prestigious gated community of Sarasota National. Strategically positioned on a prime lot, this exceptional residence offers breathtaking views of the expansive lake and a non-buildable preserve beyond, all visible from the extended screened lanai featuring a luxurious heated pool and spa. Located on the lakeside of the community, this home does not include a golf membership; however, non-golf residents may pay to play, while memberships remain exclusively tied to homes in the golf village and cannot be separately purchased. Nestled along the shores of this serene water view, the home offers a tranquil retreat, perfect for relaxation and enjoyment. The Roma model, spanning just under 2,000 square feet, is renowned for its open-concept design, offering two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a den. This thoughtfully designed layout maximizes natural light and showcases panoramic views throughout the main living areas. Lovingly maintained by its original owner, the home reflects both care and attention to detail. Upon entering through the grand leaded glass door, you are welcomed by upgraded diagonal tile flooring that flows seamlessly through the expansive living spaces. Ornate crown moldings add a touch of sophistication, while the spacious den/flex room—featuring tile flooring and double glass doors—provides versatility as a home office, media room, or even a third bedroom if desired. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting 42-inch cabinets for ample storage, glistening granite countertops, a GE stainless steel appliance package, and a generous island that enhances both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The adjacent dining area is bathed in natural light from two oversized windows, creating an inviting space ideal for entertaining. Throughout the home, stylish light fixtures and ceiling fans add an extra layer of elegance. This home is NOT located in a flood zone so flood insurance is NOT required.
