About this home
Virtually Staged. Retro vs. Reno… or a little of both? Calling all vintage lovers! This perfectly located Sarasota home offers the opportunity to embrace its original character, add your own modern touches, or create a fun mix of both. Some of the big-ticket updates have already been done for you, including a NEW ROOF, NEW HVAC, new front doors, all new sliding glass doors and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas. Meanwhile, some of the home’s coolest original features remain, including a true sunken living room, retro kitchen with original linoleum and wallpaper, a unique etched-glass window and even a built-in countertop blender! The spacious floor plan includes a large guest bedroom, primary suite with walk-in closet and sliders to an extraordinarily large Florida room, an eat-in kitchen with pantry and plenty of storage throughout. The Florida room stretches across the back of the home, while two separate patios provide even more places to relax or entertain. Out front, a charming screened porch offers another spot to enjoy the Florida weather, and the fenced backyard gives you plenty of room to create your own outdoor oasis. Hurricane shutters, gutters with underground drainage, and an attached 2-car garage with additional storage. Best of all, NO HOA and NO CDD fees! Glen Oaks offers an incredibly convenient central Sarasota location, with the newly renovated Bobby Jones Golf Club and its nature park and walking/biking trails just outside the neighborhood, plus shopping and everyday conveniences nearby. And talk about location, UTC, with seemingly endless shopping, dining and entertainment, is approximately 5 miles away; Downtown Sarasota is approximately 3.5 miles away; and St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach are approximately 7 miles away. This isn't another cookie-cutter house, it's a home with personality, possibilities and a location that puts so much of Sarasota within easy reach. Keep the retro, bring on the reno… or create the perfect combination of both!
