Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature oaks and pines, this meticulously maintained Village Gardens villa offers a rare blend of privacy, serenity, and effortless turnkey living. Lovingly cared for as a seasonal retreat for more than two decades, the pride of ownership is unmistakable — this is a home that has truly been cherished. Offered fully furnished and move-in ready, everything conveys — from the furniture and televisions to kitchenware, grill, outdoor patio seating and even the golf clubs! Simply bring your clothes and settle in. The spacious eat-in kitchen remains original yet pristine, a testament to the owners’ meticulous care, with generous storage and casual dining space. A bright, enclosed Florida room is a standout feature - wall-to-wall glass sliders overlooking mature trees and lush gardens, and a peaceful corner paved patio. Unlike many villas, this Florida room is fully air-conditioned, making it a comfortable extension of the living area year-round. This home enjoys a more open setting than many in the community, with added distance from neighboring units and tranquil garden views. The primary suite features a large walk-in closet and a well-maintained en-suite bath with glass shower doors. A second full bath also includes a glass slider door, and both bedrooms are generously sized. Every detail reflects thoughtful care and true move-in readiness. Village Gardens is a tranquil, park-like community offering a heated pool, clubhouse with library and billiards, kitchen and ramada, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, and beautifully maintained grounds — all just minutes from Downtown Sarasota, SRQ Airport, UTC Mall, cultural attractions, and world-famous Gulf beaches. This is a special home, ready to welcome its next loving owners.
