13737 Messina Loop

A low-rise garden condo community completed in 2019, this two-story development offers ground-floor and second-floor 2-bedroom residences arranged around landscaped ponds and fairways. Architecture favors low-profile, Mediterranean-influenced massing with sliding glass doors, covered entries, and exterior hurricane shutters. Interiors emphasize open planning and everyday convenience: eat-in kitchens with solid-surface and stone counters, combined living/dining areas, master suites on the main level in some plans, walk-in closets, ceiling fans, and window treatments. Common exterior features include irrigation, pedestrian sidewalks, exterior lighting and manicured grounds maintained by the association. The community is part of Esplanade Golf & Country Club at Lakewood Ranch, a gated, amenity-rich development spanning roughly 600 acres of lakes, preserves and wetlands. Shared facilities are resort-oriented — multiple pools (including resistance and lap pools), fitness centers, sports courts, dining venues, fire pits, and golf-specific amenities such as an 18-hole championship course, practice areas and pro shop. Units typically include a one-car garage and are sold with lawn and exterior maintenance covered; homes may convey with golf membership options. Pet and specific service policies are managed by the association; the setting prioritizes low-maintenance, recreation-focused living close to I-75, UTC Mall, downtown Sarasota and Gulf beaches.
