Relish privacy and tranquil water views in this perfectly located end-unit villa – the only one in the lovely maintenance-free community of Ballantrae offering lake views on all three sides. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the three-bedroom, two-bath villa’s owners recently completed numerous upgrades and renovations, including new PGT vinyl double-pane windows, fresh interior paint throughout and the removal of popcorn ceilings. New panoramic screens across the 42-foot covered lanai maximize picturesque lake and nature vistas, and the guest bedroom area was intelligently reconfigured to allow for a new walk-in closet and laundry closet inside. The owners also redesigned the utility space in the oversized two-car garage to better utilize the space and tiled the entire floor. Also new are the air-conditioning system, hot water heater, garbage disposal, electrical switches and outlets. The home’s roof, exterior and yard are maintained by the HOA, and with the big-ticket items taken care of, there’s little left for you to do but add your own personal finishes. Located at the gateway to Palmer Ranch just a short drive from world-renowned Siesta Beach and close to many shopping and dining options, the peaceful Ballantrae neighborhood is one of Sarasota's best-kept secrets.
