Tucked within the desirable Lyndhurst enclave of The Meadows, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-family residence offers a blend of privacy, character, and effortless Florida living. A pavered driveway and tropically landscaped, gated walkway welcome you to a charming side-entry front door. Step into a light-filled interior featuring porcelain tile flooring and ceiling fans throughout, complemented by neutral tones, unique architectural angles, and subtle accent lighting that create a bright, airy ambiance with a relaxed, beach-inspired feel. The living and dining areas are the heart of the home, enhanced by a skylight, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a wet bar with built-in cabinetry--perfect for entertaining. The eat-in kitchen is both stylish and functional, showcasing light soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, and abundant windows that invite in natural light. A door leads to a private, walled privacy garden complete with a pergola--an ideal spot for morning coffee or quiet evenings. Just off the kitchen, the inside laundry room offers added convenience with upper cabinetry for storage. An enclosed all-weather bonus room, lined with windows, seamlessly connects the living room to the lanai, expanding your living space year-round. The spacious primary suite features sliding glass doors to this bonus area, transom windows, and a large walk-in closet with built-ins. The ensuite bath is thoughtfully designed with quartz countertops, dual sinks with a makeup area, a sunken tub beneath a skylight, and a separate shower, toilet, and additional sink with direct access to the lanai - making it an ideal future pool bath should new owners choose to add a pool. Two guest bedrooms provide flexibility and comfort--one generously sized with a walk-in closet, and the other featuring built-in cabinetry, currently utilized as a den or office. The guest bath includes a separate sink area with quartz countertops and a beautifully updated tiled shower with glass doors. Outdoors, the pebbled and recently rescreened lanai offers tranquil tropical views of the 11th fairway and green, creating a serene backdrop for relaxation or entertaining. The attached two-car garage is equally impressive, featuring an epoxy floor, storage cabinets, pegboard, new pull-down attic stairs, and direct access to the private courtyard. Recent upgrades include NEW HVAC in 2023, refrigerator, dishwasher and disposal in 2022, and washer and dryer in 2021. Enjoy low-maintenance living with an HOA that covers landscaping outside the lanai, roof maintenance and replacement (roof replaced in 2012), exterior home care and painting, irrigation, and exterior pest control--allowing you to fully embrace the Florida lifestyle in one of Sarasota's most sought-after communities. Lyndhurst also offers a screened community pool and walking trails. Just a 15-minute drive outside this peaceful enclave is downtown Sarasota, with shopping, arts & theatres, museums, dining and entertainment, top-ranked healthcare, beaches and SRQ International Airport. One mile east is the convenience of I-75, University Town Center with over 300 nationally known and homegrown shops, restaurants, fitness studios, services and attractions, the Nate Benderson Park, home of world-class rowing events and the Mote Marine Aquarium. Please note: three exterior SimpliSafe cameras are in place on the property and may be recording.
