Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to Ballantrae, a gated enclave of maintenance-free villas tucked among mature oaks and winding, lamplit streets just minutes from Gulf Gate. A skylit atrium at the center of the floor plan, a wood-burning fireplace, and multiple private patios give this three bedroom, two bath villa a character all its own, while 1,730 square feet on one level and an attached two car garage let it live like a single family home with the ease of villa living. Offered fully furnished for a true turnkey, easy move-in, this one checks every box whether you are searching for a full-time residence or a seasonal retreat you can lock and leave as you please. A covered entry welcomes you inside to a tiled foyer anchored by a wet bar with a beverage refrigerator and sink, an easy setup for entertaining. Just steps away, a sliding door opens to the tiled atrium at the heart of the home, where a skylight and interior picture windows draw natural light into every connecting space and give the floor plan a flow you simply will not find elsewhere. The living room is generous and inviting, with wood-look flooring, plantation shutters, a fireplace framed by a classic mantel and tile surround, and sliders that extend the living space to an enclosed lanai. The formal dining room connects effortlessly for gatherings, while the kitchen offers oak cabinetry, a sunny breakfast nook, a built-in desk, and a multiple windows for more natural light. The primary suite is impressively scaled at over 15 by 17 feet, with sliders to its own private enclosed lanai, dual closets, and an en suite bath featuring a double vanity with granite counters and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or hobbies, and the guest bath carries the same granite-topped vanity styling. The oversized garage adds everyday convenience with laundry, a utility sink, storage, and roll-down hurricane shutters bring peace of mind. The outdoor living is a standout. Two enclosed lanais, one off the living room and one off the primary suite, plus the enclosed entry porch, give you shaded, breezy spots for morning coffee or evening unwinding while overlooking sweeping lawns and lush landscaping, all maintained by the association for true come-and-go ease. The location seals it. Gulf Gate’s shops and restaurants are just around the corner, the sugar sand of Siesta Key Beach is a short drive west, and downtown Sarasota’s dining, arts, and bayfront are within easy reach. Move right in and stay year-round, or settle in seasonally and head north knowing everything here is looked after. Come experience the space, light, and flow this villa delivers. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER. INQUIRE FOR MORE DETAILS.**
