Description of Property
Presenting an exceptional opportunity in University Town Center, this expansive four-bedroom residence in University Place offers over 3,000 square feet of refined living on a tranquil street, gracefully backing to a private preserve. Thoughtfully updated and impeccably maintained, this home represents one of the most compelling values in the area, seamlessly blending generous scale, prime location, and modern enhancements. Recent improvements include a 2020 roof, newly installed HVAC systems in 2023 and 2024, as well as brand-new carpeting and fresh interior and exterior paint completed in October 2025, creating a truly move-in-ready experience. A striking custom-manufactured Italian front door, valued at $10,000, sets an elegant tone upon entry, opening to a well-appointed layout featuring four bedrooms, three baths, a versatile flex space, and a spacious three-car garage. The main-level primary suite is thoughtfully positioned within a split-bedroom design to ensure privacy, while the upper-level fourth bedroom suite offers an ideal retreat for guests or extended living. A flexible room near the entry lends itself beautifully to a private office or optional fifth bedroom. Interior finishes include tile flooring throughout the main living areas complemented by plush new carpeting in the bedrooms, enhancing both comfort and style. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, sliding glass doors from the formal living room and den extend to a generously sized paver lanai, where serene preserve views and lush natural surroundings create an inviting backdrop for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with rich wood cabinetry, Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open flow into the adjacent living spaces, perfectly suited for both everyday living and hosting. The expansive backyard offers abundant space for recreation, pets, and future customization, all while benefiting from the ease of a low-maintenance lifestyle. Residents enjoy access to resort-inspired amenities including multiple recreation centers, a tropical lagoon-style pool, heated lap pool, fitness center, scenic nature trails, playgrounds, and acres of preserved wetlands. Ideally located near UTC Mall, Benderson Lake, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Bradenton, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, St Armand's Circle, Lido Key, Anna Maria Island and the cultural and coastal attractions of downtown, this residence offers a rare combination of space, privacy, flexibility, and exceptional value in one of the region’s most desirable corridors.
