8219 TEA OLIVE Terrace Skip the wait for new construction with this thoughtfully upgraded, move-in-ready 2023 home in The Fairways at Imperial Lakes. Offering four bedrooms, peaceful preserve views, modern finishes, and a flexible two-story layout, the home is designed for comfortable everyday living and easy entertaining. The light-filled main level features high ceilings, tile flooring, and an open-concept layout centered around a spacious kitchen with an oversized quartz island, double wall ovens, abundant cabinetry, and casual dining space. The adjoining great room features a tray ceiling, built-in surround sound, and sliding glass doors that open to the covered lanai and preserve beyond. A separate flex room with a floor-to-ceiling shiplap electric fireplace offers versatility as a home office, den, sitting room, or additional gathering space. The first-floor primary suite provides a private retreat with dual vanities, a tiled walk-in shower, and private water closet. Upstairs, a generous loft creates a second living area, while three additional bedrooms and two full baths provide plenty of room for family and guests. One bedroom includes an en-suite bath, making it especially well suited for extended stays or multigenerational living. Outside, the covered lanai overlooks a spacious yard and tranquil preserve, with room for a future pool and outdoor living area. Hurricane-impact windows and doors throughout provide added protection, efficiency, and peace of mind without the need for shutters, while a whole-house water filtration system adds another valuable upgrade already in place. Set within The Fairways at Imperial Lakes, the home enjoys the relaxed atmosphere of an established golf-course community, with optional membership at nearby Moccasin Wallow Golf Club. Low HOA fees and no CDD add to the appeal. Publix, Gateway Commons, Ellenton Premium Outlets, shopping, dining, and major roadways are nearby, with easy access to Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key, and the Gulf Coast.
