5273 MYRTLEWOOD Experience the lifestyle of The meadows; a popular, beautiful master planned community developed by Taylor Woodrow. Taylor's vision for The Meadows was a community with open spaces, strong social ties, and a commitment to the environment. This seems like a world unto itself with its abundance of natural foliage, as well as manicured landscapes creating a feeling of peace and serenity away from it all! Enter the home through your private patio courtyard and foyer to an expansive living room, featuring soaring ceilings, and an open floor plan offering views of lush tropical landscaping. You can access your private front patio through sliding doors in the kitchen or access a large private patio retreat through sliding doors from the master bedroom. This patio offers generous space for furnishings and potted plants. Upstairs are the guest bedroom, bath, and den presently used as a 3rd guest room. The roof was replaced in 2017. This home is clean and move-in ready with updating potential if desired. The expansive doors & windows throughout capture sunlight making this home light and bright! The Meadows has many amenities; miles of walking and bike trails, 3 golf courses, 17 har tru tennis courts, pickleball, fitness center, shopping village and a beautiful clubhouse. The UTC mall with its prime shopping and numerous restaurants is just minutes away. Golf membership is also available. If you love going to the beach, it's just a short drive to Lido and Siesta Key beaches. This community with a great central location to all Sarasota amenities offers the best of both worlds!
