Under contract-accepting backup offers. This is the Maintenance-Free Villa you’ve been looking for! It’s been updated with Wind Resistant Windows and Doors. You'll love the new luxury vinyl plank flooring in the bedrooms (7/23). The total roof structure was rebuilt in 2012 to the new code, and new drywall, smooth texture ceilings, tile floors, and kitchen cabinets were installed. You’ll love the whole wall of custom cabinets that give great storage space in the dining room, and the room could be used as a den if desired. The renovation leads to credits on your homeowners insurance! There's neutral easy-care tile in all the public spaces, and the back door leads to a nice little private patio area for enjoying the fresh air. The laundry room has lots of storage space and high-quality LG washer & dryer. The carport offers shade for your car as well as a nice patio space to sit and watch the sunset and birds. Walk down to the marina, where boat slips are optional and available first come/first serve. This over-55 community with boat slips available for only $100/month is one of a kind in Sarasota. The waterway leads out to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico. (This is not in a high-risk flood zone.) The pool is heated (water exercise groups meet there), the shuffleboard courts are kept busy, and lots of clubhouse activities allow friendly neighbors to have fun together throughout the week. Parties are planned in the clubhouse throughout the year. Look for the details about the upgrades in the villa. You won’t find another villa like this one in the neighborhood. The location within the community is also the best, with plenty of shaded guest parking just across the street. The broad back yard allows for privacy between villas. It’s close to Siesta Key’s famous powder-sand beach, shopping, restaurants, parks, churches, and access to Tamiami Trail. (The photos were taken when the unit was rented, but it is now vacant and ready for a new owner to move in.) Don’t miss this opportunity to have it all!
