Under contract-accepting backup offers. Virtually Staged. Welcome to Deer Creek- one of Palmer Ranch's most sought-after communities. The gated entry guides you into the neighborhood which has a classic feel- mature, tree-lined streets with sidewalks, plenty of green spaces, and lots of lakes. This home is located in the maintenance-free Villas section of Deer Creek and positioned on one of the largest lots in the community which gives way to fantastic water views.  There's a lot to love about this home- from the time you enter the screened-in front porch you'll know that this property has been well taken care of over the years. The entry leads a foyer, providing stunning water views behind the home which are only magnified by the vaulted ceilings and light and bright interior. The spacious layout includes two generously sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a dedicated office that could easily work as a third bedroom, and a large open great room/ dining area that connects with the kitchen. The amply sized screened in porch on the rear of the home adds to the overall enjoyment of the views and nature from this exceptional lot. While the interior is in excellent condition, it is also fully ready for your custom updates. Larger items have upgraded such as the new roof in 2025 with transferable warranty, brand new water heater,  new electrical panel in 2020, new 2025 washer and dryer, and a full interior replumb. The maintenance-free living aspect of this community means that the lawn is maintained, you have a community pool, and of course a 24/7 manned guard gate. It's not hard to see why Deer Creek and Palmer Ranch are so popular- just a short drive to award-winning Gulf beaches, easy access to shopping and medical facilities, not to mention great restaurants! The Sarasota Square mall site is currently under redevelopment which will drive several more retailers and dining establishments to the area only adding to your convenience.
