About this home

Welcome to this beautifully maintained newer home in University Groves Estates Reserve, built in 2013, offering exceptional curb appeal, a desirable open-concept floor plan, and a prime central North Sarasota location. With its newer construction, this home offers the added peace of mind that comes with a more modern property, potentially meaning fewer concerns associated with the age and upkeep of an older home. From the moment you arrive, the paver driveway, walkway, and welcoming entry create an inviting first impression. Step through the front door and enjoy a wonderful sightline extending through the home to the sliding glass doors and the beautifully manicured outdoor space beyond. The open-concept design provides an effortless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, making the home ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen and home feature granite countertops throughout, while natural gas adds convenience for cooking indoors and enjoying the impressive outdoor entertaining space. Crown molding throughout most of the home adds an elegant finishing touch, while plantation shutters throughout provide timeless style, privacy, and light control. A custom closet offers thoughtfully designed storage and organization. The covered outdoor kitchen is perfect for entertaining or relaxing year-round. It features a natural gas grill, refrigerator, and sink, making outdoor dining and gatherings both convenient and enjoyable. The beautifully landscaped backyard also includes a gas fire pit, creating a warm and inviting setting for evenings outdoors. At the rear of the home, a serene pond view provides a beautiful backdrop, with thoughtfully spaced trees offering a sense of privacy and tranquility. Storm protection is also well addressed, with quick close accordion storm shutters on door and window openings and fabric hurricane panel for the sliding glass doors. The low HOA fee, which includes owners’ landscaping, adds to the appeal, and there are no CDD fees.
