You will not want to miss this lovely home. Surrounded on 3 sides by green space and nature preserve, this popular Neal Homes Eventide floor plan has been beautifully upgraded and meticulously maintained. Starting with the front entrance, you’ll find an exceptionally long paver drive, as the home is set back for extra privacy and curb appeal. Step inside to a wide-open floor plan showcasing living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Floors are 7” wide plank-style porcelain tile throughout. The Great Room and Primary bedroom have coffer ceilings, which add 2 ft height to the already 10 ft ceiling height. The kitchen features under-cabinet lighting, an abundance of pot drawers, contemporary fixtures, granite counters, and a full-height eat-at island. The chef in the family will love the gas cook stove. A large bank of pocket sliding glass doors, plus 2 large windows, lead to the extended lanai and bring the green outdoor space in to enhance the living space. The front door has a retractable screen door, so you can open both sliders and front door to enjoy a cross breeze. The primary suite is a delight, with a large walk-in closet, additional storage closet in the bath, dual sinks, and a large walk-in shower. 2 guest suites share a bath and are separate and private from the primary bedroom. The lanai has been extended and offers an exceptionally peaceful space to enjoy the Florida wildlife and greenery. The home has been recently enhanced with new impact windows and doors throughout, a solar attic fan, and exterior is freshly painted. Woodland Trace is a gated community of only 45 homes, nestled amidst wetlands, lakes, and nature preserves, yet close to it all. This home enjoys the ultimate privacy, as it sits near the end of one of three cul-de-sacs in the neighborhood, adjacent to a pond, across the street from one of the preserves, with another preserve in the backyard. There is room for a small pool, and the Seller has a conceptual design and estimate available. Landscape care and irrigation are included in the low HOA dues, and there is no CDD fee. Centrally located along the popular University Parkway corridor, between Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch, Woodland Trace is just minutes to Palm Aire and University Park Country Clubs, and provides easy access to beaches, top-rated schools, cultural activities, shopping, and dining. Homes rarely become available in this sought-after Community so call today to schedule your private showing.
