Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to a beautifully maintained end-unit villa tucked behind the gates of Lakeridge Falls, a 55+ community where barrel tile roofs, mature palms, and meandering lakeside paths set a relaxed Sarasota tone. Built as part of an intimate four-villa building, this coveted end position wraps the home in extra windows, drawing natural light deep into the living spaces and giving it an airy, sunlit feel. Set on a premium waterfront lot with no rear neighbors, this two-bedroom, two-bath home with a separate den lives larger than its footprint, framing wide, tranquil water views from nearly every main room. Step inside through a private covered entry and the home opens to a bright, flowing layout finished in soft, soothing tones. The great room stretches toward a wall of sliding glass that frames the lake and opens to the covered, screened lanai, the kind of spot made for morning coffee and watching egrets wade along the shoreline. The kitchen sits at the heart of it all, dressed in crisp white shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, a gas range, and a breakfast bar that keeps the cook part of every conversation. A casual dining area and an adjacent den offer flexible room to work, gather, or unwind. Plantation shutters lend a polished, custom feel, while newer luxury vinyl plank flooring warms the bedrooms. The private primary suite faces the water, with its own slider to the lanai, a custom-built walk-in closet system, and a serene bath featuring a double quartz vanity and a roomy walk-in tiled shower. A comfortable guest bedroom and second full bath sit on the opposite side for privacy, and a dedicated interior laundry room with full-size washer and dryer adds everyday ease. With a two-car garage and a true move-in ready feel, this is a home you can simply settle into. Beyond your door, Lakeridge Falls delivers a resort-style lifestyle behind a manned gate. Residents enjoy a grand clubhouse, an expansive heated pool and spa, bocce courts, a sandy lakeside beach with a fire-pit and picnic area, and scenic walking trails that trace the community's lakes. Lawn care and exterior upkeep are handled for you, leaving more time to enjoy it all. The location is just as easy to love, minutes from University Town Center shopping and dining, with downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and the powdery sand of Lido and Siesta Key beaches a short drive away. Come experience the easy elegance of waterfront living on Florida's Gulf Coast. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER. INQUIRE FOR MORE DETAILS.**
