Property Description
Positioned perfectly adjacent to the legendary, Donald Ross-designed Sara Bay Country Club, this established mid-century enclave offers an unmatched level of autonomy. It is the ultimate jackpot for outdoor enthusiasts and savvy investors alike, proudly permitting private, on-site storage for your large boats, trailers, or RVs, alongside exceptional rental flexibility that is virtually impossible to find in standard golf communities. Enjoy ultimate peace of mind and lower utility costs with central water and sewer, completely free from the hassles and maintenance of septic systems.
Freshly painted inside and out, the home perfectly balances its classic mid-century charm—highlighted by vintage jalousie windows—with clean, move-in-ready updates. Once inside, you will find just over 1,300 square feet of clean, light-filled living space featuring zero carpeting, vinyl and tile flooring throughout.
The heart of the home features a functional kitchen equipped with timeless wood cabinetry, formica countertops, a classic white GE range and dishwasher, a sleek stainless-steel Samsung refrigerator, and a deep, single-basin sink. Designed for effortless casual living, the space flows seamlessly into an in-kitchen dining area with comfortable counter-height seating.
Just off the main living space, glass sliders lead out to a generously sized, 11x16 rear-facing lanai. Complete with windows and shades, this sun-drenched bonus space serves as a fantastic Florida room, home gym or reading area.
The thoughtful semi split-bedroom floor plan ensures privacy for all. The primary ensuite bedroom is a peaceful retreat featuring a spacious walk-in closet and a cultured marble single-sink vanity alongside a tiled, walk-in shower. On the opposite side of the home, the bright second bedroom offers abundant natural light and its own walk-in closet. It is steps from the second full bath, which features a cultured marble vanity and a thoughtful, handicap-accessible tiled tub/shower combo. For ultimate convenience, the washer and dryer are neatly housed in the attached 1 - car garage.
Step outside into your private backyard sanctuary. The directly south-facing, fully fenced-in backyard is framed by a large mature shade trees and boasts massive dimensions (117 feet wide by 102 feet deep), creating an ideal canvas with ample room to easily construct your dream pool if desired. The expansive grounds are further enhanced by two detached storage sheds, perfect for housing your lawn equipment, tools, and miscellaneous outdoor gear.
Key mechanical systems and updates offer years of low-maintenance living, including a new AC in 2021, fence in 2018, water heater in 2014, and a 2013 shingle roof. The neighborhood rental policy is highly lucrative and flexible, allowing you to rent monthly for up to 12 times annually.
With a Sarasota mailing address, residents enjoy effortless proximity to the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, local deep-water marinas, vibrant downtown dining, and world-class Gulf beaches.
