ACTIVE WITH CONTRACT. This Charming, West of Trail home was built in 1984 so is newer than most of the homes in area and is well priced. This impeccably maintained, 2 bed, 2 bath home is just under 1,400 s/f of air conditioned space and is very tastefully decorated. It features a large living room with vaulted ceilings, wood floors and sliding glass doors that look out to lush Florida greenery. It also has an additional room for an office or hobby room as well as an air conditioned Florida Room where you can relax and watch the birds outside. Unlike many of the homes in the neighborhood in this price range, it even has a garage. All the homes windows are protected by Accordion Storm shutters to easily secure the property when weather turns grey or while the homeowners are away so would be perfect for a seasonable couple who were aren't yet ready for the confines of a condo. The newer age of the home compared to similarly priced properties and storm shutters also reduce the homes maintenance, energy and insurance costs significantly. The home is ideally situated West of the Trail on a well landscaped lot near the North bridge to Siesta Key so is only 6 blocks away from Paradise Plaza for all your shopping needs including, groceries, pharmacy and several restaurants. Southside Village is just a mile North for great dining & shops. Downtown Sarasota and the powdery white sand beaches of Siesta Key are just 3 miles further North.
