Located within the guard-gated community of The Landings, this spacious second-floor coach home offers light-filled living spaces with soaring vaulted ceilings and an open layout that feels timeless and intentional. Mature landscaping and a quiet, established setting create a sense of privacy while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, and Sarasota’s beaches. A private entry with distinctive tile steps leads to a bright interior defined by volume, clean lines, and natural light. The main living areas feature vaulted ceilings, wide-plank wood flooring, and an open yet well-balanced floor plan that allows each space to feel connected while maintaining definition. An enclosed lanai with expansive sliding glass doors extends the living space and offers serene treetop views, creating a peaceful backdrop for everyday living. The kitchen is both functional and inviting with white cabinetry, granite countertops, custom tile backsplash details, and a sunlit eat-in area. A breakfast bar opens to the living and dining spaces, making the layout ideal for casual meals and entertaining. A built-in dry bar adds character and storage while enhancing the home’s entertaining appeal. The primary suite is generously sized with vaulted ceilings, a flexible alcove well suited for a sitting area or home office, a dedicated dressing space with built-in storage, and an oversized walk-in closet. The en-suite bath features a walk-in shower with bench seating, ample counter space, and clean, classic finishes. Two additional bedrooms and a guest bath provide flexibility for guests or work-from-home needs. Recent updates include a new AC system completed in December 2024, a new roof and gutters installed in October 2024, and exterior painting completed in 2023. The HOA provides true maintenance-free living, covering the roof, windows, sliders, screens, exterior paint, landscaping, pest control, cable and Xfinity service, and insurance from drywall out. The home sits approximately 21 feet above sea level and is not located in a flood zone. Optional membership to The Landings Racquet Club offers tennis, pickleball, resort-style and lap pools, fitness center, clubhouse, and an active social calendar. A scenic nature trail leads to Roberts Bay with a kayak launch and fishing dock. A private garage with attic storage, paver driveway, and nearby guest parking complete this move-in-ready residence in one of Sarasota’s most established gated communities. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
