Welcome to Cascades at Sarasota, an active 55+ community! This beautiful 2-bedroom + den/office, 2-bathroom home is move-in ready and offers an elevated lifestyle with incredible features and prime location. Situated on a larger corner lot—approximately 1,400 sqft bigger than the average—this home offers extra space and privacy. Step out onto the plexiglass-enclosed lanai, where you can enjoy year-round partial lake views, or easily convert it to an air-conditioned space to add an additional ~250 sqft to your living area. The double-door grand entry welcomes you into a light-filled home with cathedral ceilings that soar over the living room, kitchen, dining room, and breakfast nook. Recent upgrades to the kitchen include remodeled cabinets, sleek quartz countertops, a tiled backsplash, and under-cabinet LED lighting. Every detail has been considered, from the plantation shutters on all windows to the solar tube in the living room that floods the space with natural light. Retreat to the serene primary suite, where you’ll find dual walk-in closets, dual sinks, a corner soaker tub, and a separate tiled walk-in shower. The living room is bathed in natural light thanks to large glass sliders and a transom window that frame the picturesque views. The den/office area is perfect for working from home or pursuing hobbies, featuring custom built-in desk and cabinetry with new carpet, making it a versatile and comfortable space. Enjoy an epoxy-floored two-car garage, an upgraded guest bathroom, and a paver driveway that adds to the curb appeal. The exterior landscaping is INCLUDED in the HOA fee and keeps the yard pristine, with curbed flower beds and fresh mulch. Cascades at Sarasota offers a lifestyle beyond compare with extremely reasonable HOA fees and NO CDD FEES, unlike much of the newer construction in the area. The resort-style clubhouse offers an array of indoor and outdoor amenities, including tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, a large fitness center, a pool and spa, art studio, dance studio, billiards room, and a variety of social activities. There’s something for everyone! Perfectly located close to the UTC mall, I-75, downtown Sarasota, Bradenton, and SRQ airport, you’ll have easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment while living in a peaceful, gated community surrounded by friendly neighbors!
