This beautiful villa in much sought after Chelmsford Close sits in very a private location and can be yours-TURN-KEY FURNISHED! When you enter Chelmsford Close you immediately realize this is not the average community. Chelmsford Close is one of the most recently constructed communities in The Meadows (no popcorn ceilings, no cast iron plumbing). The buildings and grounds are impeccably maintained. And for your peace of mind the villa is of concrete block construction capped with concrete barrel tile roofs and is in "flood zone X". Enter your private courtyard through the iron gate. Step into the villa and your eyes are drawn to the 10 foot ceiling capped with massive crown molding. Your den or office is to the left and open to the kitchen through a pair of pocket doors. The kitchen features recessed lighting, solid wood cabinets with soft close hinges and beautifully polished stone countertops. Step into the great room and you're on a rich solid hardwood maple floor- the kind you rarely see anymore. For relaxation, enjoy a refreshment on your very private screened lanai. A lush garden view and the 6th green of the private Meadows course is in the background. The Meadows is a quiet enclave in rapidly growing Sarasota County- 15 minutes from downtown. You'll have access to miles of walking/biking trails, and all that The Meadows Country Club offers. Club membership is optional, and offered at different levels, but many amenities are offered to you at no cost for being a Meadows resident. Some of the country's most beautiful beaches are nearby, as well as world-class arts and culture, restaurants, entertainment and shopping. You are literally a 5 minute walk to Benderson Park and just 2 miles from the mall at University Town Center. You have just discovered the Sarasota lifestyle!
