You’ll feel it before you can explain it. This home hasn’t really been lived in, and it shows. Built in 2020 inside the gated Sunrise Preserve community on Palmer Ranch, this 2 bedroom, 2 bath residence with a flex room offers approximately 1,843 square feet that feels closer to new than resale. As you walk through, there’s a noticeable difference in how everything presents, clean, well-kept, and lightly used in a way that stands out immediately.

The layout draws you in without effort. The main living space flows naturally, connecting the great room, dining, and kitchen in a way that feels open but still controlled. The flex room is currently set up as an office and additional living space, giving you a clear sense of how it can function day to day. At the same time, it can easily transition into a third bedroom, gym, media room, or whatever fits your lifestyle, giving the home built-in flexibility over time.

The kitchen sits at the center, keeping everything connected while maintaining balance. Natural gas adds another layer of value that buyers actively look for, with a gas cooktop, the ability to run a gas dryer, and a gas line already in place for an outdoor grill or future kitchen.

Then your attention shifts outside. The lanai features a clear view screen enclosure with no visual obstructions, creating uninterrupted sightlines across the water. With eastern exposure, you get direct sunrise views reflecting off the water, giving you a setting that feels calm, private, and hard to replicate. The travertine stone patio is another detail that makes a difference, staying cooler underfoot and offering a more refined, durable finish compared to standard pavers, especially in the Florida heat. This entire space becomes a natural extension of the home and part of your daily routine.

The primary suite is positioned for separation and comfort, while the second bedroom and overall layout maintain flexibility without disrupting the flow. The footprint remains efficient and easy to manage, supported by newer construction that keeps maintenance simple.

Sunrise Preserve offers gated entry and a full lifestyle experience with a clubhouse, fitness center, outdoor bar, zero entry saltwater pool with a dedicated lap lane, sun deck, spa, fire pit, tennis and pickleball courts, and walking trails. It’s an active community with consistent social engagement and events.

The location ties everything together, just minutes to Siesta Key Beach, UTC, downtown Sarasota, and SRQ Airport, giving you access without inconvenience. With no CDD fees and natural gas, this home brings together features that are increasingly hard to find in one place.

Homes like this tend to create a quiet kind of demand. Not rushed, but decisive. And when it fits, you’ll know.
