Property Description

Live close to the water AND out of a flood risk zone in this updated 4 bedroom, 3 bath, over 2,200 sq ft home! Updates to this large home include all impact windows, all PVC pipes, new appliances, new water heater, and newer metal roof & AC. This home has living and storage space for a wide range of activities while still providing privacy throughout the home. Two of the bedrooms feature en-suite baths and sliding doors for access to the Florida native & Florida friendly landscaped yard. The split plan home affords privacy and easy access to a 3rd full bath for the 3rd bedroom. A private oversized 4th bedroom features double-depth closets and a newer mini-split AC for additional climate control. In addition to use as a bedroom it will also make for a fantastic flex space, office, playroom, or studio. The remodeled kitchen features newer appliances and custom-made cabinetry including large cabinets with pull out drawers on easy gliders. The custom built-in butcher block table gracefully connects the kitchen and the living room. The living room is the true center of this home featuring a soaring ceiling, plenty of space for gatherings, and a working wood-burning fireplace. The fully enclosed Florida room provides additional living space with peaceful views of the pool and tropical landscape. The in-ground pool is luxuriously oversized and can be accessed from the living space as well as the owners suite. An outdoor shower on the extra-large screened lanai completes the tropical-luxury-lifestyle feel of the property. The property is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores neighborhood and is fully fenced to create a private tropical oasis. A one car garage with its own impact window can be used as a garage or scenic workshop. The property is located in the desirable X flood zone where mortgage lenders do not require flood insurance. While located outside the flood plain you still have extremely easy access to multiple parks, located within the neighborhood, which provide access to Sarasota Bay. The low-cost and optional Indian Beach Sapphire Shores neighborhood association offers a neighborhood newsletter, picnics, and additional social activities. Driving, walking, or biking along the neighborhood's shaded streets and sidewalks you'll be treated to a tour of Sarasota architecture from the 1920s through today. Within the neighborhood you will also find cultural amenities including the Ringling Museum which features frequent community event programming and the Asolo Theatre which houses Asolo Rep as well as the Sarasota Ballet. Both Downtown Sarasota and Sarasota Bradenton Airport are a 5 minute drive from the home. Shopping and dining on St Armands Circle and the crystal quartz sand of Lido Beach is just a 10 minute drive.
