If you’re looking for a dream townhome in a peaceful, gated community, this one is for you. In person, you’ll immediately notice its excellent condition. The sellers have pride of ownership and have taken great care of the home—a hassle-free property just waiting for the next owner’s decorative touch. Wow! Spacious and immaculate. What else does this gem have to offer? Two stories, with kitchen, dining, and living spaces on the first floor, including a half bath for guests, and all three bedrooms, two full baths, and laundry on the second floor. Since most laundry is created by what we wear, the laundry being on the second floor near the bedrooms and having a new washer (2022) makes laundry day just a little easier. Newer, easy-care, luxury vinyl flooring installed upstairs (2019), with the main floor, all baths, and laundry ceramic tile. You’ll find plenty of living space as the original lanai was converted into a Florida room and can be set up as a separate TV room, a great place for your exercise bike, a craft room, or whatever you please. Don’t worry, you can still enjoy the sunshine and all the lovely weather that Florida offers on the concrete patio, which may be screened or covered if desired. Drop in your grill and lounge chairs and let the fun begin! There is plenty of closet and storage space as the owner’s suite includes a spacious walk-in closet and a large linen closet, another linen closet in the upstairs hallway, a good-sized kitchen pantry, and an under-stairs closet. The kitchen features all-wood cabinets, a new side-by-side refrigerator and dishwasher (2022), and a breakfast bar. Way too many properties feel dark and dreary. Not this one! With the large sliders and kitchen window, you’ll enjoy lots of natural light, with plenty of eco-friendly LED lighting installed throughout the home. The kitchen has recessed lighting and designer pendant lights over the breakfast bar, and track lighting over the dining room area. The windows (2021) and sliders (2018) have been upgraded to impact resistant; however, the hurricane shutters that came with the property are also included should you want them. The AC unit was upgraded and replaced in 2023 including a UV-disinfectant system. The garage door has been insulated for further comfort and savings. Bradford Manor boasts a beautiful pool, spa, and cabana. The low HOA fees in this pet-friendly community include fiber-optic internet and cable TV, maintenance of pool and spa, grounds, building exterior, roof, pest control, and reserve fund. This quiet community is just 10 minutes from downtown Sarasota, and 15 min. from Lido Beach and St. Armands shopping/restaurants, the UTC Mall shopping area and Benderson Park, and convenient to world-famous Siesta Key Beach and SRQ Int’l Airport. Basically, if there is fun to be had in town, you can get there quickly and enjoy living in the sunshine state! With its excellent location, fantastic condition, and great price, this townhome is a wonderful opportunity for someone. Schedule an appointment to see it right away!
