1 Beds ⋅ 1 Baths ⋅ Serenade On Palmer Ranch SubDv. ⋅ 34238 Zip Code
Top-floor corner residence with a private carport — a combination that rarely comes available at Serenade at Palmer Ranch. This one-bedroom, one-bath condominium conveys with an assigned carport in addition to an assigned parking space. Carports are limited in the community and attach to only a limited number of units. Third floor means no one overhead, and the corner position brings extra windows, added privacy, and just one shared wall. Vaulted ceilings lift the living area and carry the natural light through the home. The layout flows from the living and dining space out through sliders to a screened lanai with its own outdoor storage closet. The bedroom offers a generous walk-in closet, and a full-size washer and dryer sit in the in-unit laundry closet. Condition is the story here: high-quality carpet installed three years ago and professionally cleaned every year since, tile in the kitchen and bath, and meticulous upkeep throughout. The unit shows immaculately and is in move-in condition. It is vacant now, so showings are easy and closing can move on the buyer's timeline. Serenade at Palmer Ranch is a gated, pet-friendly community with resort-style amenities: two heated pools, in-ground spa, clubhouse, 24-hour fitness center, lighted tennis courts approved for pickleball, playground, BBQ area, and a car wash station. The HOA covers exterior maintenance, trash, water and pest control. Palmer Ranch puts Siesta Key's quartz-sand beaches roughly 15–20 minutes away, with the Legacy Trail and its 18-plus miles of paved path close by for biking and walking. I-75 access opens up downtown Sarasota's arts and dining, University Town Center, Benderson Park, Venice, and Tampa. SRQ is about a 15–20 minute drive, and Publix, shops, and restaurants sit minutes from the gate. Seller pays for Owner's Title and selects Cloud Title. This listing is a Certified Safe Listing, with zero title issues to be concerned about. The current special assessment balance will be paid by the Seller at closing.
