Welcome to resort-style living in the gated community of Talon Preserve on Palmer Ranch. This unique home is one of the only homes with an unobstructed view of the famous bald eagles of Talon. Built in 2022, this stunning Trailside model two-story home offers nearly 2,700 square feet of meticulously upgraded living space—allowing you to skip the wait of new construction, as the owners have invested nearly $100,000 in post-closing enhancements, making this home truly one-of-a-kind. As you arrive, a pavered driveway framed by lush, manicured landscaping sets the tone for the elegance within. Step through the inviting foyer into a light-filled great room adorned with luxury vinyl plank flooring and crown molding throughout. The open-concept kitchen is a showstopper, featuring upgraded black leather granite countertops with generous barstool seating, stainless steel appliances including a built-in oven and gas range, and a convenient pantry for extra storage. A first-floor bedroom and full bathroom provide the perfect space for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, a versatile loft awaits, ideal for a media room, playroom, or home gym—the possibilities are endless. The spacious owner’s suite is a retreat in itself, boasting a spa-like ensuite bathroom with dual sinks, a seamless glass-enclosed shower with a bench, and a custom walk-in closet. Three additional upstairs bedrooms, all with custom closet storage (one featuring a Murphy bed), and a full bathroom offer plenty of room for family or guests. The second-floor laundry room with a utility sink adds convenience to your daily routine. Step outside to your private backyard oasis. The screened-in lanai showcases a luxury outdoor kitchen complete with a DEKTON countertop, Blaze professional natural gas grill, Proline vent hood, and modern backsplash. Hurricane screens and a motorized shade awning have been installed for added comfort and security perfect for hot summer days when we would like a little additional shade. The pavered lanai surrounds a gas-heated pool and spa, complete with a sun shelf for relaxation, all while enjoying serene views of the protected bald eagles nest preserve. Additional features like a whole-house Generac generator, hurricane impact windows, and a Culligan water system ensure peace of mind. This home is not located in a flood zone, and with reasonable HOA fees and no CDD fees, it offers incredible value in one of Sarasota's most sought-after neighborhoods. Talon Preserve is more than just a neighborhood—it’s a lifestyle. This amenity-rich community includes a heated pool with a rock waterfall, beach entry, lap lane, splash pad, spa, an 18,000-square-foot clubhouse with a bar and on-site restaurant, state-of-the-art fitness center, arcade, 8 pickleball courts, tennis and bocce ball courts, and a dog park. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the direct access from the community to the Legacy Trail and nearby to Oscar Scherer State Park. Conveniently located near world-class beaches, golf courses, shopping, and the vibrant arts scene of downtown Sarasota and Venice, this home truly offers Florida living at its finest.
