A STANDOUT IN EVERY SENSE! Welcome to this chic two-bedroom, +den, two-bath Bruce Williams–built residence offering a beautifully updated living space in the gated community of University Place. Ideally situated on a quiet cul-de-sac just one mile from University Town Center—the area’s hub for shopping, dining, entertainment and events—this move-in-ready home combines extensive high-quality upgrades, privacy, an exceptional location & low HOA fees. Lush landscaping, solar lighting, stone detailing & attractive curb appeal create a stunning introduction, while the desirable southern-facing backyard provides abundant natural light and an ideal setting for enjoying the Florida lifestyle. Step inside to a bright, open-concept floor plan, where a welcoming foyer accented with classic chair rail detailing opens to an impressive main living area with soaring 16-foot vaulted ceilings. Luxury vinyl plank flooring extends throughout the home, complemented by oversized baseboards that add a polished, upscale finish. At the heart of the home is the showstopper gourmet kitchen, completely reimagined with soft-close cabinetry, Quartz countertops, herringbone backsplash, designer hardware & pendant lighting. A new exterior venting Samsung gas range w/hood, Bosch dishwasher, spacious double-door refrigerator, single-basin Stainless sink, (RO) system, pantry & eat-in kitchen complete this tastefully designed space, blending style and functionality for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious living and formal dining areas flow seamlessly outdoors through expansive triple-pane sliding glass doors, w/additional sliders off the dinette. A screened lanai and extended paver brick patio overlook the private, manicured, vinyl-fenced backyard, complete with included hanging daybed—perfect for morning coffee or a relaxing nap in the afternoon. The light-filled primary suite features two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath with a floor-to-ceiling porcelain-tiled walk-in shower, soaking tub, ceiling-height oversized mirrors, elegant gold fixtures, separate vanities with make up area & private water closet with window. The guest bath showcases floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile, a sleek glass enclosed walk-in shower and elegant brushed nickel finishes. The den, set behind double doors, offers flexible space for a home office, study, media room, or guests, while the oversized laundry room adds exceptional functionality with a utility sink, abundant storage, expansive countertop, and dedicated hanging area. Even the two-car garage has been upgraded w/Polyurethane floor coating, overhead storage, cabinetry, upgraded garage door & offers an exterior-access door. For added value and peace of mind, major systems have already been updated: NEW HVAC (2024), NEW ROOF (2025) and NEW WATER HEATER (2026). University Place is a gated community of approximately 400 homes surrounded by preserved natural areas, ponds, wetlands & walking trails. Amenities include two recreation centers w/heated pools, spa, outdoor kitchens, fitness facilities, tennis courts, playground, nature trails, and an active social calendar. The location is hard to beat—close to I-75, SRQ Airport, UTC, highly rated schools, world-class shopping & dining, championship golf, downtown Sarasota & Bradenton, and the Gulf Coast’s renowned beaches. Extensively remodeled, distinctive in every detail, privately situated, and centrally located—this home is truly anything but ordinary.
