This meticulously maintained two-bedroom plus den, two-bathroom home in the sought-after Carlyle community of Palm Aire combines thoughtful design and updates and one of the most beautiful preserve views in the neighborhood. Recent upgrades add both value and peace of mind, including a NEW ROOF (2023) and a complete exterior repaint with gutters and downspouts. In 2024, a new refrigerator, dishwasher, and stylish dining room light fixture were installed. Early 2025 brought even more improvements with a fully re-screened and repainted lanai cage, a new screen door, and refreshed landscaping behind the master suite featuring a Christmas Palm and vibrant shrubs. Inside, the home welcomes you with an elegant glass entry door, soaring ceilings, ceramic tile floors, and an open layout designed for both comfort and style. The formal dining area flows effortlessly into the spacious great room, highlighted by double tray ceilings and crown molding. The open concept kitchen offers soft-close wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and premium stainless steel appliances—including a gas range—along with a convenient breakfast bar. From here, sliding glass doors open to the lanai, where you’ll enjoy peaceful preserve views and the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. Privately situated at the back of the home, the master suite offers tranquil views, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. Living in Carlyle also provides the option to join the Palm Aire Country Club, featuring two championship golf courses, a clubhouse, eight lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, an Olympic-size swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a playground. With no CDD fees, low HOA dues, and a premier location near University Parkway/UTC Mall, dining, shopping, airports, I-75, Lakewood Ranch, Benderson Park, Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and world-renowned Gulf Coast beaches, this home truly offers the best of Florida living.
