Live in a gated-community minutes from one of the best beaches in the country! Welcome to The Landings--a few miles to Siesta Key AND Downtown Sarasota--plus a Publix and restaurants adjacent to the guard gate. You can walk to dinner! Better yet--this is not your typical home: This is a condo or duplex with thick walls, it sustained zero damage in the recent hurricanes and has upgrades throughout. Walk in the front door and look straight out the back sliding glass doors to a sparkling pond and fountain. The combination dining/living room is surprisingly large, complete with a working wood-burning fireplace. Step out to the glassed-in lanai with new Italian tile. And that's not the only surprise: There's a den/office bonus room attached to the lanai with a pass-through into the kitchen as we;; as built-in shelving and a desk. The primary bedroom has sliding glass doors--and the en suite bathroom has dual vanities, new marble tile and two closets--including a walk-in with a pull-down attic ladder overhead. The guest room also has plenty of closet space and a sliding glass door out to a private courtyard. A ground-floor condo with plenty of space! Beyond your private street is a social and racquet club with a fully-staffed pro shop, a large geo-thermal pool and hot tub, fitness center, library and a large social/meeting/gathering area for the many Landings activities. Terrific lifestyle!
