This residence is positioned within one of Sarasota's central and sought-after locations only a half mile from Benderson Park, The Mall at University Town Center, new Mote Marine, Sarasota–Bradenton International Airport, Ringling Museum, downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle and the barrier islands.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a covered and screened lanai provides a quiet spot for morning coffee or afternoon reading. The primary suite is positioned at the rear of the home for privacy and offers a spa-inspired retreat with double tray ceiling and a renovated bath. Two additional bedrooms share an updated guest bath, and an interior laundry room is conveniently just off the garage. Additional features include a double tray ceiling in the dining room, a new water heater (2022), a new refrigerator (2025) and a screened front entry. An appealing opportunity in a charming community with low HOA fees.
