Overview

Welcome to your oasis! This sprawling 5 bedroom, 3 bath ranch boasts the best location in Sarasota. It is only 2 miles from SRQ and 4 miles to world-class shopping and restaurants at UTC. Situated on over one acre of land in Oak Grove Park, this property is just north of University Parkway in Manatee County. Zoned for horses, with a fenced yard and a beautiful pool to enjoy, living is not only easy; it is much less expensive than on similar properties south of University Parkway in Sarasota County. Here, you will realize lower taxes. The county water source provides ample supply and pressure, and waste is handled through a newly installed oversized septic system. To add to your peace, all windows and sliders have been replaced with insulated and impact-resistant glass. Oak Grove Park is truly a hidden gem: Because there is no through traffic, most passersby will not even realize such a beautiful neighborhood exists. Each homesite is large and unique - a rare find so close to downtown. Voluntary homeowner?s association asks for only $100 annually. Walk three-quarters of a mile loop under the canopy of oaks on Oak Grove Circle and back to your home. This block home with 3645 square feet under roof was built for entertaining. Two sets of pocket sliding glass doors open wide from the lanai to the dining room and family room, and the pass-through window to the kitchen (with quartz countertops) make for easy flow to the pool area. There are also sliders from two bedrooms that open to the lanai. A large stone fireplace is the focus of the family room, and five solar tube lights throughout the home add natural light. The split plan has the master bedroom on one side of the home, and a pocket door at the kitchen further buffers the space. This bedroom has a stained concrete floor and holds a 3X5 fireproof Liberty safe that is built in and bolted to the floor. Its bathroom was recently updated with a walk-in shower and tile floor. The other side of the home holds 4 bedrooms, two of which share a bathroom with another walk-in shower and one of which has access to a larger bathroom that retains its original tub and a door to the pool area. Use each as a bedroom, office, craft room, yoga room, or all four! The patio area on the south side of the home has a 14x8 shed with double doors to accommodate a riding mower and so much more. There is plenty of room in the driveway for your RV or boat. The 528 square feet of garage space easily holds two full-size vehicles, a washer and dryer, water heater, and air handler. There are built-in shelves and pull-down stairs to the attic space, which has plywood flooring for even more storage. Motivated seller will consider holding mortgage.
