Formerly a model home and nestled on a peaceful cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Deer Creek community of Palmer Ranch (with no CDDs and low HOAs), this impeccably maintained, move-in-ready home offers 2,900 sq. ft. of beautifully designed living space--perfect for both relaxation and entertaining. This home has been thoughtfully upgraded inside and out, featuring a new architectural shingle roof (2024) with a 50-year warranty, capable of withstanding winds up to 135 mph. Additional upgrades include two new HVAC systems (2025), a new water heater (2022), refreshed landscaping, fresh interior paint including all walls, trims and doors, an upgraded paver driveway and sidewalk, elegant crown molding, and all-new modern light fixtures and ceiling fans throughout. The heated saltwater pool has been resurfaced with Pebble Tec, complemented by a travertine stone pool deck and a freshly painted lanai pool cage (recently re-screened) enhancing the outdoor living experience. From the moment you arrive, the freshly updated landscaping and elegant paver brick driveway and entry showcase the home's exceptional curb appeal. Step inside to a warm and inviting living room with breathtaking views of the lanai and pool, seamlessly connected to the formal dining area. The chef's kitchen boasts rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook overlooking the pool. A spacious breakfast bar opens into the family room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and a stylish wet bar with a wine cooler and storage--ideal for gatherings. Upstairs, a versatile loft space with retreaded stairs and new laminate flooring provides endless possibilities, whether for a home office, reading nook, or playroom/TV room. The primary suite, situated off the living room, offers serene pool views, a generous walk-in closet, and a newly remodeled en-suite bathroom with a freestanding tub, updated sinks and faucets, and a private patio area with a privacy wall. Three additional bedrooms, located off the family room, showcase beautiful hardwood flooring and abundant natural light. Throughout the home, elegant plantation shutters add a refined touch to the windows. Step outside and embrace the Florida lifestyle in your expansive travertine lanai, where a heated saltwater pool overlooks a tranquil pond, creating a truly private and relaxing retreat. Deer Creek provides 24-hour security with a guarded gate and a vibrant social calendar. Ideally situated, the community offers easy access to Legacy Trail, premier shopping, dining, golf courses, and entertainment. Plus, it's just a short drive to the world-famous Siesta Key Beach, I-75, the cultural attractions of downtown Sarasota, and SRQ Airport.
