Overview of Grandura

About Grandura

Grandura is a gated community of 28 new single-family homes by Pulte Homes in Sarasota, ZIP 34231. It is a small enclave with no CDD, set close to everyday shopping and a short drive from Siesta Key.

Pulte builds 1 and 2 story designs here, with loft and flex spaces, open kitchens with cafe areas, covered lanais and pool options. Homes run about 2,500 to 3,400 square feet, and prices over the last two years ran from about $932,000 to $1,112,000.

Publix, Walgreens and the Sarasota Pavilion shopping center are about five minutes away. Siesta Key Beach is about 10 minutes away, Downtown Sarasota about 12 minutes and St. Armands Circle about 16 minutes. Please call me before you visit the sales office or register on Pulte's site; most builders accept a buyer's own agent only when that agent registers the buyer on the first visit, and I want to be sure you are represented from the start.

What to know before you buy in Grandura

  • I will confirm the HOA and any CDD fees, what they cover, and whether a transfer fee applies at closing.
  • Please call or text me before you visit a model home or register on a builder's website, so that I can represent you.
  • If you may want to rent the home out, I will review the rental and lease rules with you.
  • We will look at drive times to work, to SRQ, and to the beaches at the hours you would actually travel.

New construction in Grandura

Please call or text me before you visit a model home or register on a builder's website. In most new construction sales the builder pays my fee, so having me on your side usually does not change the price, and most builders accept your own agent only when that agent registers you on your first visit or first contact.

  • Janelle is fantastic. We recently were able to sell our home in one week at 1% over asking price.
