3 Beds 2 Baths Golf Pointe At Palm-Aire Count SubDv. 34243 Zip Code
Every morning here starts with the same view: a curving lagoon giving way to an open fairway, framed by rows of mature oaks and pines, right off the back of this 3-bedroom, 2-bath villa in Golf Pointe at Palm Aire in Sarasota. It's the kind of golf and water view that usually comes with a much bigger price tag, and it's visible from nearly every room that faces the rear of the home. Step inside and the 1,840 square feet unfolds under a vaulted living room ceiling, with engineered hardwood carrying the eye straight back toward that view. The kitchen sits open to the living and dining spaces, its quartz countertops catching the light, paired with cabinetry that's already had its refresh and a full stainless lineup: side-by-side refrigerator, glass-top range, built-in microwave, and dishwasher. Fresh paint throughout and new chandeliers over the dining table and the breakfast nook add a bit of polish without asking for a renovation to get there. The primary suite carries the hardwood underfoot and opens through its own private sliders directly into the air-conditioned Florida room, so the golf and lagoon view is the last thing you see before bed and the first thing you see with your coffee. Both bathrooms have been redone with new tile on the floors and in the showers, and a two-car garage with an interior laundry room handles the practical side of daily life. The big-ticket items are already taken care of: a tile roof replaced in 2013 and a brand-new HVAC system installed in 2021 mean the next owner isn't inheriting a to-do list. Living in Golf Pointe means handing off the parts of homeownership nobody enjoys: the HOA covers exterior maintenance, lawn and landscaping, and cable TV, plus access to the community pool. For golf itself, Palm Aire Country Club sits right at the center of the neighborhood, an optional, member-owned club with 36 holes across two championship courses designed by Dick Wilson and Joe Lee, a 23,000-square-foot clubhouse, eight Har-Tru tennis courts, and pickleball, a 24-hour fitness center, a junior Olympic saltwater pool, and dining that runs from casual to fine, all wrapped around an active social calendar. Join if golf and/or the club scene appeal to you, or skip it entirely and simply enjoy the view from your own lanai. Off the golf course, Golf Pointe is under 15 minutes from downtown Sarasota and just minutes from The Mall at University Town Center, where Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's, and Sephora anchor more than 150 shops and restaurants like Capital Grille, Seasons 52, and The Cheesecake Factory. Spend a day at any of the area's iconic Gulf beaches: Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, and Anna Maria Island are all within reach, with I-75 and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport close by as well. A villa with a view like this, backed by a fully optional country club and this close to Sarasota's best shopping, doesn't last long in Golf Pointe. Schedule your private showing today.
