Enter Chelmsford Close and you immediately realize you are not in the average community. Chelmsford Close is one of the most recently constructed communities in The Meadows (no popcorn ceilings, no cast iron plumbing). The buildings and grounds are impeccably maintained. And for your peace of mind the villa is of concrete block construction capped with concrete barrel tile roofs and is in flood zone X. Enter your private courtyard through the iron gate. Step into this bright, immaculate villa and your eyes are drawn to the 10 foot ceiling capped with massive crown molding . Your den/office is to the left and open to the kitchen, but can be isolated by a sliding pair of leaded glass pocket doors. The kitchen features recessed lighting, Shaker style wood cabinets and hard surface Corian countertops., For relaxation, enjoy a refreshment on your very private screened lanai, and a heated pool awaits you right across the street. Both the kitchen and baths have undergone recent high-end renovations, and the villa has been professionally painted. So move right in! The Meadows is a quiet enclave in rapidly growing Sarasota County- 15 minutes from downtown. You'll have access to miles of walking/biking trails, and all that The Meadows Country Club offers. Club membership is optional, and offered at different levels, but many amenities are offered to you at no cost for being a Meadows resident. Some of the country's most beautiful beaches are nearby, as well as world-class arts and culture, restaurants, entertainment and shopping. You are literally a 5 minute walk to Benderson Park and just 2 miles from the mall at University Town Center. Welcome to the Sarasota lifestyle!
