One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Experience effortless living in this tastefully updated maintenance-free home in a gated community minutes from the world-renowned Siesta Key Beach. Entering the home, be struck by the spacious interior and design elements perfectly crafted to enjoy the Florida lifestyle. The upgraded kitchen offers everything a chef could desire; granite counters with lots of space to prepare any meal, tons of cabinet space, newer stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast nook. The main living area features direct access to the very large covered screened lanai where a favorite beverage can be enjoyed for the sunrise or sunset with peaceful views of the very well maintained community green, or where guests can seamlessly enjoy the indoor/outdoor Florida weather. The primary suite is split from the other bedroom bath and offers lanai access, an ensuite bath with two vanities, shower, and a walk in closet capable of handling the most extensive wardrobe. The guest bedroom is separate, has an updated shower and allows privacy for guests to access the second bedroom. A very large flex space for an office or den compliments the rest of the interior space. The roof was recently replaced and the HVAC is a little over one year old with a transferable warranty. Ballantrae is in the heart of Palmer Ranch, minutes from Siesta Key, Costco, Gulf Gate for funky shopping or dining, and very easy access to downtown Sarasota with its cultural offerings and first class healthcare.
