Welcome to the Cottages at Blu Vista, a charming community of just 114 homes where Florida cottage character meets comfortable everyday living. Featuring the distinctive Blackburn floor plan, this thoughtfully designed residence offers an inviting atmosphere with 10-foot ceilings, plantation shutters, ceiling fans in every room, and spaces that naturally bring people together. Imagine beginning your mornings with coffee on the extended screened lanai, enjoying the Florida sunshine, and ending your evenings gathered around the warmth of the gas fireplace. The extended screened lanai and welcoming front patio feature beautiful brick pavers, adding character to the home's inviting outdoor spaces. Inside, the spacious main living area is complemented by a separate formal living room, offering flexibility for entertaining, quiet relaxation, or creating a space uniquely your own. The dining area flows effortlessly into the kitchen and breakfast area, where updated cabinetry, a center island, and a convenient pantry make cooking, gathering, and everyday living both enjoyable and practical. When the day winds down, retreat to the generous primary suite, complete with a private bathroom featuring a relaxing tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Two additional guest suites provide comfortable accommodations for family and friends, with the flexibility to create a dedicated home office. A separate laundry room and extended two-car garage add everyday convenience and valuable storage space. Beyond the home, the surrounding neighborhood offers even more to appreciate. Nearby Park provides a wonderful outdoor destination with walking trails, water fountains, restrooms, and dedicated dog parks with separate areas for small and large dogs. The community also enjoys convenient access to a nearby elementary school, fire station, pet resort, animal clinic, and local churches, contributing to the welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that makes this area so appealing. Location is another highlight, with premier shopping, restaurants, and entertainment at University Town Center just minutes away, along with convenient access to downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, the beautiful white sands of Lido Beach, and Longboat Key. Whether you enjoy peaceful mornings at home, afternoon walks with your dog, entertaining friends, or exploring everything Sarasota has to offer, this home provides the setting to enjoy it all. With its distinctive cottage architecture, thoughtful upgrades, comfortable living spaces, and convenient location, the Cottages at Blu Vista offer more than simply a place to live. It offers a lifestyle centered on comfort, community, and the simple pleasure of feeling right at home. (Chandelier in formal living area does not convey.) Flood insurance NOT required.
