Overview

$20,000 price adjustment! This condo is strategically located a half mile (walking distance) to a Tesla EV charging station featuring 12 stalls. The Whole Foods Market right around the corner also offers six charging stations. A third station is located .9 miles from the condo at The UTC Mall. Grande Oaks Preserve is a 30-acre timeless beauty with its maintenance-free, manicured grounds and majestic live oak trees. When you arrive at the gated entrance off DeSoto Road and wind your way down the tree-lined landscaping to the rear of the subdivision, you will arrive at building 8 which is the newest of the 5 buildings constructed. The building entrance features a large lobby that is beautifully designed with marble floors. It is on the same level as the building's parking garage. Near the condo?s parking spaces is an air-conditioned storage closet for stowing beach toys and deeded to this condo. The seller owns two parking spaces, a bonus since most units come with just one space. Bikes can be parked in the unlocked enclosures in the garage. The elevator takes you to your doorstep on the second landing. The kitchen layout will appeal to family chefs who desire adequate space to be creative. The granite pass-through counter from the kitchen to the dining room facilitates quick service. The breakfast nook overlooks the greenbelt where native tortoises mull around the grassy spaces. Open the impact-resistant sliding glass doors on the tiled lanai and listen to songbirds in the live oak trees or the aquatic birds in the wetlands. There is a view of the fountain from the lanai. All appliances are new in 2021 or 2022 except for the dishwasher and the microwave. HVAC is a new 16 SEER, 4-ton unit installed in 2019 with 3 anti-mold lights and an air purifier added in 2022. The owner suite is sequestered from other spaces and offers an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, a jetted soaking tub, a sizable walk-in closet, and a large bedroom suitable for big furnishings. The guest bedroom is split plan from the owner suite and is located steps from the guest bathroom. The large study features a closet and could easily convert into a third bedroom which is how it is currently being used. A benefit of building 8 is the trash chute located on each landing for convenient disposal of household garbage. The resort-style amenities include lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, a clubhouse, a fitness center, a heated swimming pool, and two hot tubs. This pet-friendly neighborhood allows up to 3 pets with an aggregate weight limit of 60 pounds. There is a minimum two-year ownership before being able to lease the unit. Twelve of the 30 acres are dedicated to residences and common areas and the other 18 acres are nature preserves. Centrally located off of Honor? Blvd, this condo is minutes to the University Town Center shopping and restaurants, and the Nathan Benderson Park featuring jogging/biking /skating trails, playgrounds, picnic tables, aquatic equipment rentals, and international rowing facilities. Nationally ranked Sarasota Memorial Hospital is 9 miles from the property. This quintessential community offers a tranquil environment within the subdivision while also being near Sarasota?s myriad beaches. Grande Oaks Preserve! Come and take a look. We think you will not be disappointed.
