Property Description

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in a newer gated community in the Palmer Ranch area, this tranquil and well-appointed home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, plus a den, the open split-bedroom floorplan is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious kitchen boasts upgraded 42" cabinetry, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar that seamlessly connects to the living and dining areas, while the den offers a private retreat tucked off to the side. Tile flooring flows through the main living spaces, with low-maintenance laminate in the bedrooms. Step outside to your private patio overlooking a serene pond, where you can relax and enjoy the abundance of birds and wildlife from your fully fenced backyard haven. This home is equipped with numerous upgrades, including a high-efficiency 15 SEER HVAC system, programmable thermostat, radiant roof barrier sheathing, and energy-saving double-pane low-E windows and sliding glass door and hurricane shutters for peace of mind. This upscale community of 49 homes showcases timeless curb appeal, with each home featuring brick paver driveways and entry walks, elegant stone exterior accents, and durable barrel tile cement roofs. The low HOA fee includes gated entry, grounds maintenance, lawn irrigation, and access to the community playground. Ideally located near I-75, this community is just minutes from world-famous Siesta Key, vibrant downtown Sarasota, and an array of shops, dining, parks, and trails, some just a couple blocks away. Top-rated schools are also nearby, making this home an exceptional choice.

Assumptions and Disclosures

×

• Interest rates and APRs presented are based on current market rates, are for informational purposes only, are subject to change without notice and may be subject to pricing add-ons related to property type, loan amount, loan-to-value, credit score and other variables - call for details.
• This is not a credit decision or a commitment to lend.
• Depending on loan guidelines, mortgage insurance may be required
• If mortgage insurance is required, the mortgage insurance premium could increase the APR and the monthly mortgage payment. Additional loan programs may be available.
• APR (annual percentage rate) reflects the effective cost of your loan on a yearly basis, taking into account such items as interest, most closing costs, discount points (also referred to as "points"), and loan-origination fees. One point is 1% of the mortgage amount (e.g., $1,000 on a $100,000 loan).
• Your monthly payment is not based on APR, but instead on the interest rate on your Note.
• Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) rates assume no increase in the financial index after the initial fixed period. ARM rates and monthly payments are subject to increase after the fixed period.
• These special rates presented here are only available when you pre-qualify and are not guaranteed until lock-in.
• Amounts may be rounded up. Additional fees and closing costs apply. If the down payment is less than 20%, mortgage insurance may be needed, which could increase the monthly payment and APR.
• Calculations are generated by Open Source mortgage calculation software tools using common mathematical formulas. All calculations should be independently verified.
• Please contact a loan specialist to get specific payment examples and information regarding your particular needs.
