Welcome to The Preserve at Tara! Nestled in a picturesque setting with breathtaking lake and golf course views, this stunning, UPDATED home offers a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. The beautifully landscaped exterior welcomes you, leading to an extended screened lanai where you can relax and soak in the serene surroundings. Inside, the well-appointed kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a natural gas range, quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, pantry, and an aquarium window that frames the scenic outdoor vista. Just off the kitchen is the formal dining room with ample windows to let in the natural light. The great room is a showstopper, boasting soaring 14-foot ceilings, rounded corner walls, and archways, with sliding doors that seamlessly connect to the lanai. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a seating area, walk-in and built-in closets, and direct lanai access. The luxurious primary bath features separate vanities, a walk-in shower, and a separate bathtub. The second and third bedrooms offer high ceilings and one bedroom with a generous walk-in closet, while the guest bath includes a quartz countertop and a shower with tub. This home is filled with thoughtful upgrades, including tile, new luxury vinyl, and carpet flooring, ceiling fans throughout, and a recently updated HVAC system (2024). The two-car garage provides ample storage, while modern appliances such as a gas range (2021), dishwasher (2022), microwave (2021), and water heater (2021) ensure convenience and efficiency. Located in a natural gas community with no golf membership required, this home is a rare find offering both luxury and tranquility. The Preserve at Tara community itself offers an array of amenities including tennis courts, pickleball, and a swimming pool/spa, ensuring there is always something to do right within your neighborhood. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the optional membership or a pay-as-you-play option to The Preserve Golf Club, featuring a Ted McAnlis Signature course meticulously designed to complement the natural Florida wetlands. This property offers unparalleled access to the Gulf Coast's most coveted destinations. Just minutes away, you will find yourself basking in the sun on the pristine shores of world-renowned beaches or exploring the vibrant offerings of Downtown Sarasota. With convenient access to I-75, Lakewood Ranch, Waterside Place and University Town Center Mall, you'll have endless shopping, dining, and entertainment options at your fingertips.
