Welcome to Village Green! Here is the opportunity you have been waiting for in this attractive 55+ community. This lovely 2 bedroom/2 bathroom villa is ready for your immediate enjoyment. It would make a perfect winter retreat from the chilly northern winters but also works well as a full time residence with over  1800 square feet of air conditioned living space. The two car garage and inside utility room are pluses. As you enter the home through the foyer you will be impressed by the size and open feeling of the living room and dining room. Your eyes will be drawn to the beautiful laminate flooring and the many windows that let the light flow in. Off the kitchen is a family room which could be used as a third bedroom in a pinch or as an office. The family room overlooks a large enclosed lanai which offers views of the courtyard setting and the heated community pool. The enclosed lanai adds to the living space. The larger than usual laundry room off the kitchen has a newer washer and dryer on one side and racking on the other side to store your cleaning supplies.  There is also room for a small freezer if you have the desire. The prior owner had made many improvements since purchasing in 2009 and they include a new tile roof in 2016, air conditioner in 2012 and 6 hurricane impact windows in 2010. All flooring was replaced with ceramic tile and wood laminate flooring. Kitchen was tastefully updated with new cabinets with built in pantry, granite counter tops and appliances were replaced. The current owner updated both bathrooms with new cabinetry, stone counters, faucets, mirrors and more.  The interior of the home was repainted and new pot lights were installed throughout the house which makes it light and bright at any time of day. A newer garage door and opener was installed. No need to worry about landscaping, pool facilities or exterior painting of your villa as it is all included in the reasonable maintenance fee as well as basic cable TV and exterior building insurance. Village Green Section 16 is a small community of only 26 units and has a strong board and management. This villa overlooks a park like setting with lush tropical foliage and trees. It even has it's own sidewalk trail for exercise and the pool is heated to 85 comfortable degrees allowing for year round swimming. For the bike lovers Sarasota County has extended the Legacy Bike trail which is accessible less than a mile away and is now open. Village Green is ideally situated and only minutes from all of your shopping needs, fine restaurants and nearby golf courses(2 of which are only a 5 minute drive). Only a short drive to the vibrant downtown area and of course the #1 beach in the country, the world renown Siesta Key with it's soft powdery white quartz sand. You are only 3 miles from Doctors Hospital and 4 miles from Sarasota Memorial Hospital and only 2 miles from medical groups to meet all of your health needs. Village Green has no through streets which helps minimize traffic noise. It does not get much better than this so make the move and start enjoying the Florida lifestyle you deserve!
