In November 2010, award-winning developer KB Home held a grand opening event for Grady Pointe, one of various residential projects that the builder has in store for Southwest Florida. Located between the Tallevast and University Park districts of Sarasota, Grady Pointe is a great option for home buyers who are in search of spacious and well-appointed properties.
Grady Pointe is just three miles north of Downtown Sarasota, thus making it perfect for commuters; this is a tranquil section of Sarasota County where you will mostly find small corporate parks, private academies, golf courses, churches, and gated communities. KB Home has limited the neighborhood to less than 60 lots in order to give homeowners plenty of green space. Approximately half of the properties enjoy views of two large lakes.
The floor plans selected by KB Home for Grady Pointe are from its Express collection, which you can also see at other communities such as Heron Bay in Palmetto and Avaunce in Bradenton. The Express home style can be described as a mix of Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Craftsman design. These models are designed to look sharp and feel comfortable thanks to features such as open floor plans that connect great rooms to gourmet kitchens; moreover, the bedrooms are arranged in ways that maximize privacy. Pricing for a three-bedroom house with two bathrooms, and a two-car garage starts at less than $400K. Latest pricing at Grady Point Sarasota Florida will be found below if there is inventory.
As can be expected from modern homes, the models at Grady Pointe include details such as designer lighting fixtures, smart thermostats, WaterSense faucets, insulated windows, low-flow toilets, and USB receptacles for charging or powering mobile devices. All KB Home models are rated Energy Star in terms of cooling, lighting, and appliances, which means you will not have to worry about exorbitant electricity bills. You can drive to the beaches of Longboat Key in less than 25 minutes.
By virtue of being almost next door to University Park, residents of Grady Pointe have many choices in terms of shopping. The University Walk shopping center, for example, offers a Publix supermarket and a Walmart Supercenter just few minutes to the south, but your best shopping bet will always be The Mall at University Town Center, which is about 15 minutes away.
