Description

This midcentury gem is listed $20,000 UNDER APPRAISED VALUE. No HOA or Deed Restrictions means that you can bring your boat or bring your RV! This property is a fantastic opportunity where updates have been recently completed. Opportunities for insurance discounts abound including for the insurance-friendly hip roof (new in 2018), all impact windows (including in the garage), and no required flood insurance (X Zone). The property also features a new water heater (2019) and a new AC (2020). Two en-suite bedrooms have newly renovated bathrooms with high-end fixtures and completely updated pipes. These bedrooms also features high quality blackout roller window coverings and walk-in closets. The third bedroom features a cedar closet. The kitchen is recently renovated with granite counters, a breakfast bar, pantry, and a large window overlooking the landscaped backyard. Midcentury details including terrazzo floors, built-ins, and an oversized screened lanai give the home midcentury character while leaving space for your own design preferences. A third full bath in the garage provides the opportunity to create a mother-in-law suite with private entrance or a large owner's suite. The driveway has been updated with pavers to provide additional curb appeal to the Florida-friendly landscaped yard. In the backyard above-ground planters and a fire pit overlook the New College of Florida campus (which is currently having the campus beautified with millions dollars of investment from the state). The home is also one of the few in the neighborhood on public sewer. While the property is located in an X-flood zone, which does not require flood insurance, it is only a block from Sarasota Bay where neighbors watch the sunset and launch their kayaks and paddleboards. The Uplands neighborhood is one of the highest bayfront neighborhoods in Sarasota. In addition to access to Sarasota Bay the neighborhood features a spring-fed pond with excellent bird watching opportunities. The Uplands neighborhood is popular with owner occupants, short term rentals, and annual renters. The Uplands neighborhood association hosts neighborhood events and membership is low-cost but optional. The home is just blocks from the world-renowned Ringling Museum of Art and Asolo theatre. USF Sarasota-Manatee is also located nearby. Downtown Sarasota, Lido Beach, and the UTC shopping area are all within 15 minutes of the home.
