This 3 bedroom 2 bath was thoroughly updated 4 years ago with an entirely new kitchen featuring granite countertops, new wood cabinets, an extra deep sink, chef's faucet, and all new stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms feature terrazzo flooring and new, dual-sink vanities. The primary bathroom walk-in shower was rebuilt with beautiful tile walls and new glass doors. Large open spaces, with big windows and bright lighting, bring out the mid-century modern charm of this home. The home features a bonus room that could be a formal dining room but is currently used as a home office, and a very large living room. Plus a smaller room adjacent to the kitchen which is used as an informal dining room. The guest bath features a dual-sink vanity and a tub shower. There are pocketing sliding glass doors from the living room and the primary bedroom onto a large screened lanai. You will enjoy the shaded backyard with mature trees and a productive mango tree. Fenced on all sides, the backyard will be your oasis. This home is just 15 minutes from downtown Sarasota and barely 20 minutes to Lido Beach, or Anna Maria Island. The University Town Center Mall with restaurants, entertainment, and shopping is approximately 15 minutes away.
