Located just minutes from the crystal-sand beaches of Siesta Key, this comfortable, maintenance-free home sits on a large lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. The Taylor Morrison-built Farnese model offers a practical and inviting layout, featuring two en-suite bedrooms, and a den that can easily serve as a third bedroom.

The spacious primary suite has bay windows overlooking the serene pond, while the primary bathroom includes neutral countertops, double sinks, and a generous walk-in shower.
