Under contract-accepting backup offers. Nestled in the serene and highly sought-after community of Arbor Lakes on Palmer Ranch, this Hemingway model with 3 car garage offers a combination of modern elegance, thoughtful design, and incredible updates. The neighborhood is districted for the brand-new Skye Ranch School, and a bus conveniently picks up and drops off within the community for Pine View School-the #1 high school in Florida and #12 school in the U.S. The spacious interior, with over 4,000 square feet comprised of 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2 offices, a theater room and formal dining room, is made for everyday living and fabulous entertaining. This home ensures there's space for every activity and every member of the household. The living room features a spectacular new stacked stone wall, fireplace with built in cabinetry and grand ceilings that span two stories. The master suite is a relaxing sanctuary, with a tray ceiling, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom featuring dual sinks, a soaking tub and separate shower, and dual closets-providing both elegance and functionality. The open kitchen is a chef's dream. This large, bright space has a gas range with stainless steel hood, double ovens, a walk-in pantry, breakfast nook, and two granite islands, one with a breakfast bar. The formal dining room is complemented by a butler's pantry. A formal office and large laundry room complete the downstairs floor plan. Walk up the oak-tread staircase with elegant new banister and you will find more to love. There you will find four more bedrooms, the second office, a full Jack-and-Jill bathroom, a theater room, and large loft area. Of all the new features, one that will really knock your socks off is the new saltwater pool and spa, with an expansive new deck overlooking a private preserve and complete privacy on either side of the deck. Enjoy the sunshine, dine, or just rest in the shade of the large, covered area. Add to all this a whole house water filtration system, a tankless hot water heater, well-manicured grounds with beautiful landscaping and exterior lighting, and you know this is the home for you! Arbor Lakes is located in the heart of Palmer Ranch, one of the most sought-after locations in Sarasota, due to its proximity to numerous dining and shopping venues, top rated schools, 15-20 minute drive to the area's world-renowned beaches, and with easy access to the interstate and a short commute to vibrant downtown Sarasota and all its recreational and cultural offerings. The community is perfect for multigenerational living, with basketball and volleyball courts, a community pool and splash park, a playground, a dog park, a fire pit, and a pavilion with grills, all for a nominal HOA fee.
