Tucked at the back of the sought-after Summer Wind community, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa backs directly to North Water Tower Park — and a private gate right off the community leads straight into it. Morning coffee on the screened lanai comes with a view of green space instead of a neighbor's fence, and the park itself brings a playground, pavilion, picnic tables, disc golf, and walking trails within easy reach. Leashed pets are welcome throughout the park too. Inside, the villa has been freshly painted throughout and updated with new Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring laid in August 2026. The primary suite is where this home really sets itself apart: a striking stained-glass window connects the primary bath to the bedroom — a genuine piece of history salvaged from an old English barn and sourced at Renninger's Antiques and Collector's Extravaganza in Mount Dora. The primary bath continues the custom feel with a hand-set marble mosaic tile marble floor, and a concrete countertop crafted by Ben Nettles Concrete Design in Sarasota. The second bathroom has also been refreshed with a new vanity, toilet, light fixture, and accessories, along with custom Italian stone tile sourced locally in Sarasota. Major systems are in great shape, too — the roof was replaced in 2023, and the AC unit is approximately 6 years old. Location is a true highlight: Summer Wind sits just minutes from Ringling College of Art and Design, and the community pool offers a relaxing spot to unwind close to home. This one blends character, craftsmanship, and a rare direct connection to green space — worth seeing in person.
