MOTIVATED SELLER! Step right up and enter the classic Old Florida sanctuary of your dreams, right in the heart of the highly coveted Desoto Acres in Sarasota! This spacious home spans over 2500+ square feet of pure potential and includes 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths--perfect for those who enjoy playing hide and seek with family members or roommates! This place has been updated more times than your favorite social media profile! With new garage doors (2023) that actually open and close (amazing, right?), and a carport featuring a 20/50 Amp setup for your motorhome--yes, you can finally take that road trip you've been daydreaming about! The house panel box is generator-ready, because let's face it, who doesn't want to party in the dark during a power outage? Worried about your drinking water? Fear not! A whole-house filtration system was installed in 2014, and there's a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen that's so fancy, it might just start charging rent. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a metal roof on the additional garage (installed in 2021)--who knew roofs could be this chic? You'll also appreciate the impact-resistant windows and glass sliders, keeping you safe from both storms and nosy neighbors. The leaf gutter installed in 2019 is a game-changer for those who enjoy leaf-free living. The well system features a Gould J7 pump (updated in 2012)--because no one wants to be the neighbor without water! Plus, the driveway was sealed and paved in 2023, giving you that "just rolled out the red carpet" feel every time you come home. A brand-new HVAC unit installed in 2023 means you can chill in comfort while you watch your favorite shows (or the neighbor's antics) inside your maturely landscaped private oasis. Located near University Parkway and UTC Mall, you're just moments away from dining and shopping galore! With easy access to I-75, you can zip over to St. Pete, Tampa, or Port Charlotte faster than you can say, "Where did I put my keys?" And let's not forget the pristine beaches just a short drive away perfect for a spontaneous beach day! Set on a sprawling 2.24-acre estate, free from HOA, CDD fees, and deed restrictions, this property is ideal for those with RVs, boats, and all sorts of outdoor toys. It's the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern convenience for those who want to live their best old and new Florida life! So why wait? Grab this opportunity before someone else does--because homes like this don't grow on trees (though the landscaping here is impressive)!
