This is a rare opportunity to own a custom-built Lee Wetherington home in the maintenance-free, gated community of Willowbrook. Ideally the west side of Palmer Ranch, this residence places you even closer to the world-renowned, sugar-white sands of Siesta Key. This pristine three-bedroom, two-bath home also features a beautifully appointed den/office with French glass doors, engineered wood flooring, grasscloth walls, and plantation shutters throughout. Go through the front French glass doors and be welcomed by a grand entry with tray ceiling, crown molding, and striking architectural details. The open family room and chef's kitchen overlook a serene tropical preserve with cascading lakes in the distance. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, a central island with double stainless-steel sinks, newer stainless-steel appliances, a four-burner gas range, handsome 42-inch wood cabinetry, glass block lighting and designer backsplash. A breakfast nook offers sweeping preserve and lake views. The carpeted primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a tray ceiling and dual walk-in closets. The luxurious primary bath showcases a freestanding tub with a glass-block accent wall, step-in glass shower, spa-style towel alcove, and dual vanities with quartz countertops. A private door provides direct access to the expansive patio, which also leads to the community pool just steps away. The guest bath is equally impressive, featuring a glass-enclosed shower with river rock tile, bold designer wall coverings, and granite finishes. Additional highlights include 5-inch baseboards, 8-foot doorways, a spacious laundry room with sink, and a 20-by-21-foot epoxy-floored garage with a hurricane-rated door and gasoline-powered generator capable of running the entire home, including air conditioning and refrigeration. The air conditioner is 2022. The covered lanai with concrete flooring offers a tranquil setting for outdoor enjoyment. Enjoy the rarely used community pool, bordered by preserve and lake views, offering a lifestyle of peace and serenity. HOA services include landscaping, irrigation, scheduled power washing every three years and exterior painting every ten years. Willowbrook's prime location offers convenient access to Siesta Key, shopping, dining, golf courses and cultural attractions of downtown Sarasota.
