    What's special

    Serene lake viewsCharming breakfast nookGenerous pantryWell-equipped laundry roomEnclosed florida roomSplit-bedroom encino floor planSpacious walk-in closet
    Welcome to Mira Lago at Palmer Ranch, a boutique, maintenance-free and gated community where comfort and convenience converge. This beautifully maintained two-bedroom home with a den offers a rare opportunity to enjoy serene lake views. Re-roofed in 2024 with stunning new barrel tile, the residence also includes a new, never-used gasoline-powered generator for added peace of mind. The air-conditioning system was replaced in 2015, and the spacious 20-by-20-foot garage is also air conditioned for year-round comfort. The exterior was freshly painted in fall 2024, using one of the three stylish new hues added to the community's updated five-color palette. Step inside to discover a high-ceilinged living and dining area that flows seamlessly into an enclosed Florida room overlooking the tranquil lake. The kitchen is light and bright, featuring ample natural light, a charming breakfast nook and a generous pantry. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a well-equipped laundry room with a utility sink and access to the garage. The desirable split-bedroom Encino floor plan places the primary suite at the rear of the home for added privacy. It includes a spacious walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with a jetted garden tub and a walk-in shower. The second bedroom benefits from a pocket door that creates a private en-suite experience with the adjacent full bath and nearby hall closet. The versatile den features custom-built-in office furniture, including a large desk and bookshelves, ideal for working from home or a hobby space. Enjoy low HOA fees that cover security gate access, lawn maintenance and irrigation, mulching and tree trimming, power washing of driveways, sidewalks and roofs, exterior painting every eight years, interior pest control, and Frontier cable with 120-plus channels. Near two Legacy Trail trailheads, Costco, shopping and dining, Mira Lago is positioned in northwest Palmer Ranch. Just minutes from Siesta Key Beach, Gulf Gate and downtown Sarasota, this home offers a blend of privacy, community and proximity to all the best Sarasota has to offer.
