SIGNIFICANT PRICE IMPROVEMENT- Minutes from University Town Center's shopping and dining, yet quietly nestled in a gated, private community, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath end-unit townhome delivers the perfect combination of convenience, peace of mind, and the quintessential Florida lifestyle. Meticulously maintained by the original owner, the end-unit townhome offers over 2,100 square feet of refreshed living space, thoughtfully designed for effortless living and entertaining. A pre-listing inspection has already been completed with repairs made, ensuring confidence and ease at closing. Inside, the open-concept floor plan features a chef's kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances, a great room, a versatile loft, and a home office with glass French doors. Impact-resistant Low-E windows and sliders fill the interiors with natural light while providing tranquility and storm protection. Two screened lanais overlook private green space, creating serene spots for relaxing outdoors. Upstairs, the generously sized bedrooms include a primary suite with walk-in custom closet and private screened lanai. Additional highlights include a two-car garage, upstairs laundry, and abundant storage. Residents enjoy resort-style amenities: a heated community pool, playground, sports court, and gated access to Conservatory Park, a 55-acre nature preserve with walking trails. HOA fees also cover landscaping plus roof maintenance and replacement for a true low-maintenance lifestyle. All this is just minutes from I-75, Benderson Park, public & private golf courses, SRQ Airport, Lakewood Ranch, St. Armand's Circle, and world-class Gulf beaches.
