Under contract-accepting backup offers. You won’t want to miss this beautifully updated home in the desirable Sarasota neighborhood of The Trails. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by lush tropical landscaping and vibrant flowers that create a warm and inviting curb appeal. Step through the double doors into a bright, open concept living area that flows seamlessly to the spacious lanai and sparkling pool. A striking contemporary entertainment wall anchors the living space, featuring wood paneling, floating shelves, and a sleek built-in cabinet. The adjacent dining area includes an electric linear fireplace set into a tongue-and-groove accent wall, flanked by marble topped dry bar cabinets – perfect for entertaining. The redesigned kitchen is a chef’s dream, offering painted wood shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops, and a large one-level breakfast bar for casual dining. A light-filled den overlooks the pool and the fully fenced backyard, which is bursting with tropical landscaping, including dragon fruit, orange, fig, pomegranate, lychee, and lemon/lime trees – not to mention a flourishing herb garden. Orchids inside and out are real and bloom annually, adding beauty and charm throughout the year. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a generous walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a walk-in shower. Two guest suites are privately located on the opposite side of the home, with an updated shared bath. Both bathrooms feature elegant marble tile in the bathtub and shower areas, adding a touch of luxury. Stylish porcelain wood-look tile flows throughout, complemented by new, contemporary ceiling fans and light fixtures. The outdoor living space is thoughtfully upgraded, including freshly repainted lanai (2025), a waterfall water feature, a stand-alone hot tub, a 2023 salt chlorinator, and a solar heating system (2018). The AC is 2 years old and comes with a 10-year transferrable warranty. The kitchen renovation was completed in 2025. The tile roof was replaced in 2011 and includes lightning protection. The Trails is a popular community, with low HOA dues ($587/year), no CDD fees, and amenities including pickle ball, tennis and community pool. All of this is ideally located along the University Parkway corridor – close to University Town Center, Whole Foods, top dining spots, Downtown Sarasota, and the beaches. Some furnishings are available under separate agreement.
