Welcome to 5516 Cartagena Drive, a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront home with 1,842 square feet in the COMPLETELY MAINTENANCE FREE intimate gated community of Ashton Pointe, a private 49-home enclave with quiet cul-de-sac streets. The open-concept interior features tile flooring, crown molding, and a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a large island, and generous pantry. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and en suite bath with granite double vanity, walk-in shower, and soaking tub. Enjoy peaceful lake views from the backyard, along with a gated area. Additional features include a dedicated laundry room and true two-car garage with storage racks. Major upgrades include a new high-efficiency, two-stage Comfort-Maker heat pump A/C system with all-new duct-work installed September 2025, backed by a 10-year warranty, plus an Air Scrubber purification system, electronic air cleaner, and new attic insulation for enhanced efficiency and comfort. Conveniently located just off Clark Road near shopping, dining, I-75, and Sarasota's Gulf beaches, this home combines lakefront living, privacy, significant recent upgrades, and an excellent Sarasota location. Strategically priced, the sellers' firm asking price reflects the home's exceptional value. I can also tighten this further into a more punchy **MLS-style version** while keeping all the major upgrades.
