Welcome to the Arbor Lakes community in Palmer Ranch! The Pinehurst model, with it's expansive covered front porch, built by Taylor Morrison is far from the ordinary. This home sits on a corner lot, providing additional outdoor space, light and privacy. The beautiful large and open foyer with inlaid floor tile and high detailed tray ceiling greets you at the door. Tray ceilings and crown molding throughout the home are complemented by the abundance of natural light. The formal dining room, with decorative wainscoting, is perfect for social gatherings, whether formal or informal. For those casual meals, there is a kitchen nook, which is so often overlooked in new construction. Stainless steel appliances showcase the 42" cabinetry and abundant granite countertops. And the gas stove is sure to make all chefs happy! The secluded primary bedroom overlooks the back yard. Two large walk-in closets offer new built in shelving and drawers. A spacious en-suite with spa tub, walk-in shower, dual vanity and water closet, create the perfect retreat after a long day. Cathedral ceilings and window treatments grace the large great room, which is the epitome of Florida indoor/outdoor lifestyle, with pocket sliders that open to the large screened, pavered lanai. The lanai is piped for natural gas, so grilling will be a breeze. A ceiling fan and auto screen shade make this lanai the ideal place to grab a book and relax. Peak views of the lake are an added bonus. Enjoy your coffee on your private lanai in the morning and your evening beverage on your front porch as you chat with your neighbors passing by on their way to the pool or dog park. Arbor Lakes is a beautiful community, with a pool, spa, water park, playground, sand volleyball, firepit, basketball court and dog park. And with the new 50 amp Tesla electric charging station in the garage (with new epoxy flooring) all you need is a golf cart to zip around the community. Arbor Lakes is situated at the end of Palmer Ranch Parkway, with an open entry, but gated at the rear so accessible only by the homeowners. Centrally located in Sarasota, you're not far from the famous powdery white sandy beaches to the west and the many shops and restaurants at UTC to the east.
