Step into luxury with this stunning former MODEL HOME in the highly desirable Savannah Preserve at University Park. This beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom + Den, first-floor end unit offers a perfect blend of charm and modern sophistication. The home has been meticulously upgraded, featuring luxurious vinyl flooring throughout and a chef's kitchen that was renovated in the last four years. The chef's kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a lowered island for additional seating, new cabinetry, sleek mirrored tile backsplash, updated hardware, and modern custom lighting. The spacious master bedroom is filled with natural light and offers direct access to the enclosed lanai. Plantation shutters, custom paint, and a spa-like en suite bathroom remodeled in 2021 add elegance and comfort to the space. The guest bedroom is equally inviting, with a large walk-in closet and a full bathroom located just steps away for added convenience and privacy. A versatile den, located off the main living area, features opaque glass doors and can be used as a home office, gym, or additional guest accommodations. The expansive enclosed lanai provides the perfect indoor-outdoor living space, with sliders connecting to the master bedroom, living room, and dining area. Sun screens and lush planters create a private tropical retreat, ideal for relaxation or entertaining. Additional upgrades include custom blinds and shutters throughout, a newer HVAC system with UV sanitizer, a Culligan whole-home water filtration system, a new hot water heater, attic storage with pull-down stairs, and epoxy flooring in both the garage and lanai. The garage also includes added cabinetry, a water spigot, and privacy screens. A designer wall finish in the dining room adds an extra touch of style. Residents of this gated community enjoy a low monthly HOA fee that covers water, sewer, access to a pristine community pool and fitness center, and the added security of a gated entrance. The location is unbeatable, with the UTC Shopping District, including Target, Nordstrom Rack, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and numerous restaurants, just minutes away (walking distance). Benderson Park, offering beautiful lakeside walking and biking paths, is only five minutes from the community. Downtown Sarasota, SRQ Airport, St. Armands Circle, Waterside, and world-class beaches like Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key are all within a short drive. This exceptional home combines style, comfort, and convenience in one irresistible package. Schedule your showing today and see it for yourself-you won't want to miss it!
