his spacious, move-in-ready Van Gogh model home in Mote Ranch awaits its next fortunate owner. Just under 3,000 square feet, this very flexible and well-laid-out floor plan offers five bedrooms and three full baths. The focal point of the house is the substantial lanai with a tiered paver deck surrounding the pool and spa, covered areas for al fresco dining or family get-togethers and a superb summer kitchen featuring granite countertops and travertine tile as well as a Lynx gas grill, a superior machine that elevates the art of grilling. The home is sited on a quarter-acre lot and backs to a wooded conservation area, offering both tranquility and privacy. The high-ceilinged, sizable master suite provides lanai access, two walk-in closets, a soaking tub as well as dual sinks. A few of the custom features include plantation shutters, crown moldings, aquarium glass dinette window, white-on-white kitchen and a three-car garage. Within the University Park area, Mote Ranch is just minutes from challenging golf courses, sophisticated shopping, the vibrant arts and culture scene of downtown Sarasota, some of the top-rated beaches in the country, as well as the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. The community features a dock and kayak launch, playground, fishing area and a heated junior Olympic pool. No CDD fees and low HOA fees add to the impressive value this gorgeous home has to offer. Paradise found.
