Property Description
Perched on the second story in the desirable Cypress Strand community of Tara, this beautifully updated residence welcomes you with soaring ceilings, rich upgraded wood stairs, and an abundance of natural light that draws your eyes toward the peaceful pond beyond. Mature cypress trees frame the water, creating a tranquil backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons—a view that feels more like a private retreat than a neighborhood.
Inside, new laminate wood flooring flows throughout the living spaces, blending warmth with effortless maintenance. The kitchen is both timeless and functional, featuring solid Corian countertops, generous workspace, and an open design that keeps conversations flowing whether you're preparing dinner or entertaining friends.
The spacious living area opens effortlessly toward the serene water views, while the elevated second-story location offers both privacy and a peaceful vantage point over the landscape below. High ceilings create an airy sense of openness that makes every room feel larger, brighter, and inviting.
Located within the sought-after Tara community, this home offers the flexibility of no mandatory golf membership, allowing you to enjoy the exceptional location without the added expense of golf dues. Just minutes from I-75, University Town Center, world-renowned Gulf beaches, Jiggs Landing, the Braden River, and Tom Bennett Park, you'll enjoy convenient access to shopping, dining, outdoor recreation, boating, kayaking, walking trails, and everything the Sarasota and Bradenton area has to offer.
The Tara Master Association fee is $1,126.75 annually, and the Cypress Strand Association fee is $1,046 quarterly. These comprehensive fees provide exceptional value by covering maintenance of the common areas, Xfinity cable and high-speed internet, access to the community pool, clubhouse, and lighted tennis court, insurance for the building (excluding personal contents), annual roof, driveway, and walkway power washing, yearly backflow inspections, annual dryer vent cleaning, and annual fire extinguisher and sprinkler system inspections—allowing for a truly low-maintenance lifestyle.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a seasonal escape, this is a home where mornings begin with reflections dancing across the pond, evenings settle beneath the silhouettes of towering cypress trees, and every day feels just a little more peaceful than the last.
Fridge, Microwave, Dishwasher, and Oven included. Owner would prefer to keep Washer and Dryer.
