Welcome to Village Green in the heart of Sarasota. If you have been searching for that perfectly sized villa with an ideal location you need not look any further than this attractive and meticulous 55+ community of homes. Think of how you could make this 2BR/2BA villa your long sought after winter retreat from the chilly northern winters but if so inclined it could work well as a full time residence with almost 1800 square feet of air conditioned living space. The two car garage and inside utility room are positive features. As you enter the home through the foyer you will be impressed by the size and open feeling of the living room and dining room and the vinyl plank flooring in the foyer, kitchen and family room (currently being used as a dining area). The windows are large and allow the natural light to flow in. Off the kitchen is a family room which could be used as a third bedroom in a pinch or as an office. The family room overlooks an outdoor patio area which offers views of the courtyard setting and the heated community pool. Ideal for relaxing outside and for grilling purposes. If the weather is not up to par the screened lanai still allows for outdoor living. The larger than usual laundry room off the kitchen offers plenty of storage. There is also room for a small freezer. The current owner has made several improvements and they include remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms and a new Air Conditioning system in 2022. Bedroom windows were replaced with new impact windows. The kitchen has quartzite counters, stainless steel appliances and recessed ceiling with pot lights. There is a nice patio in the front of the home. No need to worry about landscaping, pool facilities or exterior painting of your villa as it is all included in the maintenance fee as well as basic cable TV and exterior building insurance. Village Green Section 16 is a small community of only 26 units and has a strong board and management. This villa overlooks a park like setting with lush tropical foliage and trees. It even has it's own sidewalk trail for exercise and the pool is heated to 85 comfortable degrees allowing for year round swimming. For the bike lovers Sarasota County is extending the Legacy Bike trail which will be accessible less than a mile away which is now open. Village Green is ideally situated and only minutes from all of your shopping needs, fine restaurants and nearby golf courses. Only a short drive to the vibrant downtown area with its many fine performing arts venues as well as a wide selection of restaurants to satisfy all of your cravings. And of course the #1 beach in the country, the world renown Siesta Key awaits you with it's soft powdery white quartz sand and the sparkling Gulf of Mexico. All of these attractions are an easy 15-20 minute drive including access to I-75 and the airport. It does not get much better than this so make the move and start enjoying the Florida lifestyle you deserve!
