This freshly painted popular 3-BR ground floor unit with an attached garage in the sought-after Parkridge gated community won't last long. The adjacent strip mall offers multitude of shops, restaurants, banks, fitness centers and movies thus enabling a true car-free lifestyle. To get to the beautiful beaches, however, you will need to hop in your car for a 20-minutes ride. It will take you about 10 minutes to reach the spectacular Sarasota downtown and about 5 minutes to get to the new UTC Mall and the I75 exit. Alternatively you can just relax by the large heated community pool, or on your screened patio with the view of a small peaceful pond. The large master suite has dual closets and an en-suite bathroom for additional privacy. No carpets anywhere - all rooms with tiles or laminate. Your HOA dues will cover pest control, grounds maintenance, water and basic cable. All tile roofs in the community have been replaced last year. A new AC in place since 2022. Extra storage level in the garage.
