Description

Location, location, location. This property is just an 8 minute drive over Stickney Point Bridge to the world renowned Siesta Key Crescent Beach and is quite possibly in the most sought after school districts in Sarasota County (if you don't need the schools, think resale value). This is a 3 bed, 2 bath home on an oversized parcel with lush, exotic landscaping creating a very private feel. It is all masonry construction with a newer roof and an updated kitchen. It has laminate flooring throughout but the kitchen and baths are tiled. There is a very large room used for Living/Dining and a covered, screened porch looking out over the shaded, partially fenced back yard making this house "pet ready" and "kid ready". There is also unique, pedestrian access to Phillippi Estate Park with walking trails, fishing docks along Phillippi Creek, paddling access for kayakers & stand up paaddlers and even a farmers market! This is a rare opportunity in a neighborhood which doesn't see a lot of turnover.
