COMMUNITY POOL, PET FRIENDLY, CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN, AIRPORT, UTC....and GARAGE plus 2 EXTRA PARKING SPACES. CATHEDRAL CEILINGS, EXTRA SQ. FT. with ENCLOSED LANAI which opens to a WOODED COURTYARD. The Cathedral ceilings are not reserved for the living/dining area alone, but can be also be found in the main bedroom. TWO SKYLIGHTS bathe the great room by day...and make for romantic moonlit evenings, especially on a cool night in front of the WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE. A paver-beautified courtyard in front, and a similarly paved patio from the enclosed Florida room extends your living space for enjoyable outdoor dining musically enhanced by all the birds who also love this treed-intown neighborhood. DOUBLE-PANED, ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS were added for sound-proofing, security and hurricane benefits. RENOVATED kitchen and bathrooms, and all rooms were freshly painted. A SHARED, DETACHED GARAGE AND TWO (2) ADDITIONAL ASSIGNED SPACES are close to the front door. Being so close to everything one loves about Sarasota means no need battling traffic to make that 8pm showtime at the Asolo Theater, which is moments away to the west, and being ideally located between 17th St and University Parkway means easy access to downtown, UTC, and the airport all just 5miles away in various directions. The condo fee includes insurance, basic cable, termite/pest control, and grounds maintenance. Please book your showing soon. With 'Season' almost upon us, buy now before the 'snow birds' deluge encourages our seller to up his price. Oh, and you can have your two pets, and if you must, you can lease the home to others after six months of ownership (yearly rentals ONLY). FYI: THE HOUSE IS MONITORED BY RING BOTH AUDIO AND VISUALLY. (The two-car garage is subdivided, right side to this villa, left side to a neighbor who stores his motor cycle there.) Roof 2019 (garage 2023), Enclosed lanai adds sq.ft, termite treatments included, double energy pane windows, skylight glass replaced.
