Property Description


0.36 Acres Lot
Built in 1976
For Sale - Active
1 Units

Here's your chance to grab a fantastic pool home on a large lot right in the heart of Sarasota! This place has a great vibe with a split-bedroom layout that makes it super practical. You'll love the spacious family room and the open kitchen that's just waiting for your personal touch. There's also an enclosed patio leading to the screened pool. There's plenty of room with a two-car garage and a big laundry room. Plus, major updates have already been taken care of for you—the roof was replaced in 2018, and the HVAC system is brand new as of 2022. The double-paned windows are a nice bonus too, keeping things cozy and quiet. One of the highlights is the enclosed patio and screened pool, perfect for relaxing while enjoying the view of the huge backyard. And the best part? You don't have to worry about flood zones or HOA fees here! With just a little bit of your personal style, this could be your dream home. Don't let this great deal slip away!
