Stunning lake views welcome you as you step into a refreshed and upgraded 3/2 POOL home in the Hamptons, part of Sarasota’s highly sought-after Palmer Ranch. An incredible opportunity awaits as a BRAND-NEW tile roof AND gas water heater have just been installed, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Upon entering one is greeted by the crowning feature of the home: a long-lake view which can be enjoyed from an expansive paver-decked pool area, the perfect spot from which to take in the soft orange glow of sunset reflecting off the lake, relax on a breezy day, or observe local wildlife, including the beautiful sandhill cranes, a common sight in this part of town. Lush, mature landscaping adds to the aesthetic and ensures privacy as well. The deck has been resealed, and the pool cage re-screened and refinished. The interior, which has just been completely repainted in a fresh, neutral color, is laid out in a smart floor plan with two distinct, separate living spaces which are perfect for entertaining guests or for a family to spread out. The living area features soaring cathedral-style ceilings, lending roominess and a bright and airy feel. The remodeled kitchen comes replete with a Bosch gas stove for gourmet cooking and is outfitted with gorgeous quartz counters and soft-close cabinets and drawers. There are upgraded marble counters and glass-enclosed showers in both master and guest baths, a soaking tub in the master, and a beautifully tiled (all the way to the ceiling!) guest step-in shower. This home also includes a whole-house water filtration system and a reverse osmosis filter system for the kitchen. Other upgrades of note include recently installed Levolor easy roll up blinds throughout the home, high-end Hunter Douglas fans, a 2021 HVAC unit, and a freshly coated garage floor. The Hampton’s is a quiet community in the heart of Palmer Ranch, one of Sarasota’s most desirable locations. It is known for its perfect location within touching distance of our world-famous Siesta Key, convenience to shopping, restaurants, and I-75, and its excellent schools. Bikers will also love the proximity to the now extended Legacy Trail. 5261 Highbury is fitting any type of buyer, whether it be snow-birds, young families, or anyone looking to enjoy the good Florida life.
