Description

Welcome to The Preserve at Tara, where scenic beauty meets refined living. Set against sweeping lake and golf course views, this beautifully updated home delivers an exceptional blend of elegance, comfort, and tranquility. Lush landscaping creates a warm first impression, guiding you to an extended screened lanai-an ideal space to unwind while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the thoughtfully designed kitchen will impress even the most discerning chef, featuring a natural gas range, quartz countertops, breakfast bar, pantry, and a striking aquarium window that perfectly frames the outdoor scenery. Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room is bathed in natural light from expansive windows, creating an inviting space for entertaining. The great room is truly stunning, highlighted by soaring 14-foot ceilings, graceful archways, rounded wall corners, and sliding glass doors that open seamlessly to the lanai for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat, offering a cozy seating area, walk-in and built-in closets, and direct access to the lanai. The spa-like primary bath features dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms offer high ceilings and generous closet space, while the guest bath is updated with a quartz countertop and a tub/shower combination. Throughout the home, you'll find tasteful upgrades including tile, luxury vinyl plank, and carpet flooring, ceiling fans in every room, and a recently updated HVAC system (2024). Practicality meets convenience with a two-car garage and modern appliances, including a gas range (2021), microwave (2021), water heater (2021), and dishwasher (2022). Residents of The Preserve at Tara enjoy access to community amenities such as tennis courts, pickleball, and a resort-style pool and spa. Golf enthusiasts can take advantage of optional membership or pay-as-you-play access to The Preserve Golf Club, featuring a Ted McAnlis Signature course designed to harmonize with Florida's natural wetlands. Ideally situated, this home provides effortless access to the Gulf Coast's finest attractions-world-famous beaches, Downtown Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Waterside Place, and University Town Center Mall-all just minutes away.
