Beautiful Move-In ready home in the Maintenance Free Artistry Community! NO waiting for years on a builder list or living in a dusty construction zone. This spacious contemporary Kolter built home is located in the first phase at the South end of Artistry. LUSH tropical landscaping and clean architectural lines set the stage as you approach the covered entrance via the expansive pavered driveway. Stepping into the foyer, you are greeted by a LIGHT and BRIGHT Open Concept Plan with high ceilings and water views out the sliding glass doors. A modern crystal chandelier adds to the grand feeling of the entrance. An office/den is tucked away beside the foyer but still close enough for interaction with the great room. The spacious kitchen is perfect for the home chef with a 36” gas cooktop, built-in oven below, tall 42” espresso cabinets, quartz countertops, and a separate pantry closet. The huge island provides plenty of extra countertop space, as well as additional seating for counter stools. Another modern statement chandelier sets the stage for the bright dining room, which has huge windows with sweeping water views of the pond. The great room provides plenty of space for seating and entertaining, with stacking sliding glass doors that open onto the covered lanai. Relax in your private master retreat, also with high ceilings, huge windows, and water views. The master bath offers luxurious features such as a large walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure, double sinks with sit-down vanity, and a huge walk-in master closet with his and her sides. Second and third bedrooms are spacious with en-suite baths. A half bath is conveniently located for guests by the great room. The large laundry room has plenty of space to add storage as well as a plumbing hookup in place to add a sink. In the three car garage you’ll find epoxy flooring, space for additional storage, and front facing windows for added light. The garage is side entry and allows for more open space in the driveway of the house, which can provide ample parking for guests as well. Artistry is a “maintenance free” community, meaning the association maintains the landscaping and irrigation on the homesite. No CDD fee and low HOA. Artistry amenities include miles of walking trails, upscale clubhouse and recreation center, resort style pool with cabanas, state-of-the-art fitness center with yoga studio, sports courts, playground, centralized mailboxes, and gated access. Conveniently located just minutes from shopping, restaurants, beaches, and major highways, yet secluded enough to feel like you’re away from it all. Come experience the beautiful contemporary architecture, lush tropical landscaping, and luxury amenities for yourself and see why Artistry is one of Sarasota’s most desirable communities!
