Mira Lago of Palmer Ranch is a boutique, maintenance-free community ideally located in the northwest section of the ranch, just minutes from the world-renowned Siesta Key Beach. This corner-lot home offers serene lake views and 2,471 square feet of air-conditioned living space, and it shows like new construction with its high-end finishes and thoughtful upgrades. All three bedrooms include closets, and the versatile den, office, or flex room can be discreetly tucked away behind striking 8-foot Italian glass panel barn doors. The home has been extensively updated, including a barrel tile roof replacement in 2020 and major improvements completed in 2021, such as PGT hurricane-impact windows and sliders, a new AC system, updated electrical and full re-piping. A paver driveway, walkway and lanai were also added, enhancing both curb appeal and outdoor living. Inside, the home features a clean, contemporary design with a Zen-like ambiance and an open floor plan ideal for entertaining. Eight-foot doorways with Italian frosted glass panels add a modern touch, while consistent Italian 5-foot wood-look porcelain plank tile flooring flows throughout. The spacious primary suite includes dual walk-in closets outfitted with custom white cabinetry. The chef’s kitchen is a standout, designed for both function and style, with an oversized granite island, quartz countertops and sleek white cabinetry. At its center is a 48-inch Fulgor Milano Sofia induction range with seven powerful European induction zones beneath a seamless ceramic glass surface, including a bridge element for larger cookware, along with double ovens. Additional upgrades include a ZLINE stainless steel vent hood, pot filler, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances with a microwave/convection oven, a dual wine chiller and a stainless sink with a Dornbracht faucet. Baths are equally refined, featuring quartz countertops, Santec fixtures and showers equipped with personal hand showers. The shiplap-accented Florida room overlooks the lake and opens to a 25-foot caged, paver lanai, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The main living areas are equipped with remote-controlled sunshades, while the bedrooms feature Hunter Douglas Silhouette window treatments. Further enhancements completed in 2021 include updated lighting and ceiling fans, AC duct cleaning, a reconfigured electrical panel and a fully reimagined laundry room with LG washer and dryer, quartz countertops and added cabinetry. The garage has also been upgraded with a utility sink, quartz surfaces, wall-mounted cabinets, a storage rack system, an epoxy-coated floor and a new garage door. This home offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort and low-maintenance living in a prime location.
