Your search is over.  This is a TRUE three bedroom and 2 bath home with no funky additions or modifications where you don't have to pay an insane markup on a semi-remodeled home that may or may not have been done properly.  Here you can update to YOUR OWN liking and at your own pace.  The bones are FANTASTIC thanks to ALL BLOCK construction, a NEW ROOF in July 2021, NEW AC in 2019 and a NEW HOT WATER TANK in 2016 so you can rest easy that all your 'big ticket' items are good to go.  Having been built in 1983, it makes it newer than most of the homes in the area so not only is the total square footage larger than the others nearby, you won't find any dinky sized rooms here.  Also, unlike other older homes, storage is no problem thanks to a real TWO CAR garage, walk in closets in the owner's bedroom AND one of the guest bedrooms, a DOUBLE pantry, multiple linen closets, even a coat closet (that would make a great 'drop zone').  Lots of large windows and THREE sets of sliding glass doors not only make for a light, bright, and cheery atmosphere (after all that's what Florida is all about) but allow easy access to your very own sanctuary; because the outside is just as good as the inside!  There is a MASSIVE 31 x 13 COVERED lanai overlooking your very own screened in 28 x 11 pool so your new house is bound to be party central and because it sits on OVER a quarter of an acre (again, tough to find in this part of town) there is plenty of room for pets and little ones to roam and still be safely contained behind your privacy fence.   Also, don't forget to bring ALL of your toys because not only is it NOT deed restricted, there is plenty of storage space for that boat or RV.  Location wise it can't be beat; you are truly in the HEART OF SARASOTA with nearly every shopping and dining convenience imaginable nearby, A RATED schools just down the street, only a half mile to the Legacy Trail (12+ paved and pretty miles of walking, biking, rollerblading, etc), and the glorious beaches of SIESTA KEY only a 15min drive away.  If you're looking for a GREAT DEAL on a GREAT HOUSE then this is the one!  HURRY over before it's gone.  MOTIVATED SELLER IS READY to close.
