Welcome home to Cascades! Location, amenities, and many bells and whistles are featured in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. It all starts with the home being perfectly situated on a premier lakefront lot with stunning views from the family room, kitchen, and master suite. You'll enjoy the feel of a much larger home with both volume and tray ceilings along with crown molding found within. Diagonal tile throughout the home except in the bedrooms makes keeping the place immaculate a breeze. Entertaining will be a pleasure as you move around the well- thought- out kitchen design. Granite countertops and stainless appliances complete the chef's dream. With the serving area opening to both the eat-in nook area as well as the outdoor lanai and heated spool/ spalike pool, whoever's in the kitchen will never feel left out, nor should they. The master suite is perfectly sized and located at the rear of the home so you can fall asleep while enjoying your tranquil view. Double sinks, granite counters, walk-in shower, and soaking tub (a rarity these days) complete an owner's suite that you can really enjoy. Both the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms offer plenty of size and closet space for guests or extra storage. Cascades is an active community that is one of the best values in what may be the best location in the Sarasota/Manatee county area. Its proximity to University Town Center shopping and dining, downtown Sarasota, and area beaches is unbeatable. The amenity rich community features a renovated 25,000+ square foot clubhouse, fitness center, aerobics room, sauna, Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce ball, billards room, library, art studio with two kilns, and a ballroom with a dance floor. When you're done with that, take your choice in enjoying either an indoor or outdoor pool and relax in the hot tub afterwards. Cascades has both a lifestyle director and tennis pro to assist you with your activities. With all this community has to offer, you may not want to leave the manned gates but know there's a lot more to explore once you do!
