Turn‑Key 3BR/2BA Ground‑Floor Condo in Gated Stonehaven
This ground-floor residence in Stonehaven delivers an easy Gulf Coast lifestyle from the moment you arrive. Professionally furnished and offered turnkey, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath unit occupies a quiet corner of the gated Palmer Ranch community and opens directly into a smart, light-filled living area under high ceilings. Recent mechanical upgrades include a brand new HVAC system, so systems are up-to-date and worry-free.
The kitchen is practical and polished: granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar that keeps conversation flowing between the chef and guests. The primary suite is quietly tucked away and includes sliding doors to the screened, covered lanai — a private, shaded spot for coffee, reading or afternoon breezes — plus an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and an oversized closet. Two additional bedrooms are generously proportioned and share the guest bathroom near the in-unit washer and dryer for convenient day-to-day living.
Outdoor living extends beyond the lanai to the community’s resort-inspired amenities. Lush tropical landscaping frames the pool and playground, while the gated entry and maintenance services (roof care, exterior pest control and garbage pickup) make this a true lock-and-leave option. The attached one-car garage provides direct access to the unit and extra storage space for bikes and beach gear.
Location is a major asset here. Stonehaven’s Palmer Ranch address gives you fast access to Siesta Key and Casey Key’s renowned sugar sand beaches, the Legacy Trail for weekend rides or walks, and I-75 for regional travel. Local dining and shopping are minutes away, and low HOA fees with no CDD keep ongoing costs competitive. Whether you’re seeking a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or investment rental, this thoughtfully maintained unit balances convenience, comfort and coastal access.

This listing is priced at $285,000, which aligns with the property’s Redfin-derived estimated midpoint value and a price-per-square-foot near $228 — competitive for a turnkey, furnished condo in Palmer Ranch. Sarasota’s coastal condo market continues to attract buyers seeking proximity to beaches and low-maintenance living; units that combine updated systems, gated communities and easy beach access remain in steady demand. Inventory for sub-$400K condos in desirable pockets around Siesta Key and Palmer Ranch has been tighter than broader metro averages, and well-presented, move-in-ready properties often attract multiple showings quickly. For sellers, the combination of turnkey condition, recent HVAC replacement and covered outdoor space strengthens negotiating position. Buyers should move decisively: secure inspections early and be prepared with financing or proof of funds. For investors, the low HOA, absence of CDD fees and resort-style amenities improve rental appeal. Overall, this is a balanced-to-seller-leaning segment of the Sarasota market where condition and location materially affect time on market and final offer terms.
