About The Property

Rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated lakefront pool home in the private enclave of Country Lakes within the Palm Aire community. Built by respected builder Dan Najjar, this contemporary coastal residence with 3/bedroom and 3/full bath reflects quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design throughout. Recent improvements include: PGT impact windows and sliders (2026), HVAC replacement (2026), widened driveway, added side patio and walkway, fencing, professional landscaping, pool cage repainting and rescreening, interior and exterior painting, renovated kitchen and two secondary bathrooms (2024), LED recessed lighting, removal of popcorn ceilings, updated outlets and switches, wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring, and custom cedar closet systems in the primary suite. Bright interior featuring high ceilings, split-bedroom floor plan, and a refined light color palette. Updated kitchen offering custom cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers plus integrated storage solutions and expansive quartz countertops. Formal living and dining rooms flow into the great room and kitchen, creating an open and functional layout. A pocket door separates the secondary bedrooms and bath area for additional privacy. The primary suite features sliding doors to the covered lanai, spacious ensuite bath, and two walk-in closets. All three bathrooms offer low-entry showers, and wide doorways throughout the home enhance accessibility and ease of living. Outdoor living spaces are designed for both entertaining and relaxation, with a screened lanai, 24-foot pool, pool bath access, and mature landscaping. A separate fully fenced side yard provides a private, zen-inspired patio retreat. Additional highlights include an oversized 3-car garage, low annual HOA fees, and a location outside of a flood zone. Optional membership at Palm-Aire Country Club includes 36 holes of golf, Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, Olympic-size heated pool, fitness center, and clubhouse amenities. Ideally located just off the University Parkway corridor, with easy access to Nathan Benderson Park, Lakewood Ranch, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Trader Joe’s, and The Mall at University Town Center (UTC), offering premier shopping and dining. Conveniently located near downtown Sarasota’s vibrant arts and cultural attractions, renowned Gulf beaches, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. Available turnkey furnished.
