Welcome to your Sarasota retreat at Serenata, a fully renovated and turnkey 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo offering the perfect blend of luxury, convenience, and lifestyle. This ground-floor residence has been completely updated from top to bottom with brand-new HVAC, water heater, washer and dryer, and newer stainless-steel appliances. The modern kitchen features wood cabinets, quartz countertops, and elegant fixtures, while both bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled with matching tile walls and floors, Kohler vanities, and glass-enclosed showers for a spa-like touch. The home is tastefully furnished in a mid-century modern style, with new luxury waterproof flooring throughout, designer lighting, and comfortable dcor that makes every space feel bright and inviting. Enjoy the flexibility of a property that has been used only (and barely!) as a second home, giving you the freedom to move right in and start enjoying the season or to lease it through your preferred management company if you're looking for an investment. Serenata is a gated community that embodies resort-style living with a sparkling pool, fitness center, tennis courts, and beautifully landscaped grounds surrounding a serene lake with fountains and walking paths. The condominium itself is extremely well maintained, featuring a newer roof, solid reserves, and strong management in place. It's located outside the flood zone and qualifies for most financing, providing both peace of mind and long-term value. The location is unbeatable-steps from Publix, Starbucks, and Walmart, minutes from the University Town Center shopping district, the Ringling Museum, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and a short drive to downtown Sarasota and its world-renowned white-sand beaches. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, seasonal getaway, or investment opportunity, this immaculate condo offers a turnkey lifestyle in one of Sarasota's most desirable and convenient communities.
