This beautiful villa is located in the secure, gated community of Fairfield by Neal Communities, conveniently close to I-75. Built in 2013, it features a 2 bedroom, 2 full bath split plan, with guest bedroom and bath in the front of the home and the owner's suite in the rear of the home. An open concept design provides a large living area that includes the kitchen, dining room, and living room, which all opens up to the spacious covered, screened and extended lanai. The home is enhanced with several upgrades including custom tile backsplash in the kitchen, under the cabinet lighting, professionally painted accent walls, and new ceiling fans in all rooms. Additionally, the kitchen has a new (2024), high end refrigerator, french door style, and the garage is equipped with a brand new (2024) quiet Chamberlin belt-driven garage door opener. The front door features a new (2024) Phantom screen that allows for a wonderful breeze on cooler winter days. The mature landscaping was completely upgraded by a design professional and custom lighting was installed, adding a beautiful and safe enhancement to the curb appeal of this home. The Fairfield community has a beautiful and well maintained pool and spa area that features an outdoor kitchen that can be used for larger family/friends get togethers, lots of tables and chairs, two large cabanas, a small clubhouse with a fitness room, restrooms, and library/community room. The HOA is one of the most affordable in the area! And best of all, during two back to back Cat 5 hurricanes in the fall of 2024, this home suffered no damage!! Safe and solid! The location is perfect - 8 miles to the Sarasota airport, 7 miles to UTC and Lakewood Ranch, and 12 miles to the gorgeous beaches of Anna Maria Island! (Home comes partially furnished with a dining room table/6 chairs, china hutch, leather barstools at the island, dresser and chest of drawers in main bedroom, recliner and swivel chair for living room.)
