Deer Creek has been called the "Jewel" of Palmer Ranch because you feel like royalty - as if you've "arrived" when you get home. It's a relaxing, treed neighborhood with multiple lakes, so everyone gets to see the two entry lakes as they enter Deer Creek, along with the many water birds they attract.  The Villas of Deer Creek has its own community pool, and lawn maintenance and watering is provided. This villa is a quick walk to the gated entry, and only a mile from Costco. The high ceilings give a spacious feel. Lots of glass lets the light in (4 newer wind-resistant windows), and the view from the foyer through to the screened lanai and back yard is inviting. The eat-in kitchen is open to the living and dining area and includes two pantries. Propane is available if you would like a gas stove. The split plan bedrooms afford privacy for owners and guests. Having a 2-car garage means you can safely store your bikes and beach toys. Siesta Key's famous white quartz sand beach is 15-20 minutes away, and there are multiple stores, restaurants, parks, groceries, exercise spots, churches, and the Gulf Gate Library within a 15-minute drive. If you like to walk, bike, skate or jog, the Legacy Trail from downtown Sarasota to North Port has access just outside the south gate.
