Description

*** SELLER IS OFFERING A $3,000 BUYER CREDIT AT CLOSING & AN ASSUMABLE FHA MORTGAGE BALANCE AT 2.9% APR*** In a city where home prices often feel out of reach, this well-maintained three-bedroom, one-bath residence offers something increasingly rare: a real opportunity to plant roots in Sarasota without sacrificing location or potential. Set on a quiet, non-HOA neighborhood just minutes from the beach, downtown, shopping, and restaurants, this home proves that owning in Sarasota does not mean choosing between charm, location, and affordability. Inside, you will find an open layout with tile and laminate flooring, natural light throughout, and a warm, welcoming feel ready to be personalized. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with granite countertops and refreshed cabinetry that seamlessly blends function and simplicity, while unifying the living and dining areas. A cozy brick fireplace, featuring an above-mantel TV mount, anchors the living room, making it perfect for both quiet evenings with a book and hosting game day with friends. The primary bedroom features two closets and a dual-access ensuite bath that connects to the hallway leading to the home's two additional bedrooms. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard with a spacious deck, fire pit, and a large permitted shed that offers flexibility for storage or creative use, along with ample room for a home addition or pool, if desired. While it is not the biggest or flashiest house in town, it is real, it is ready, and it can be yours to shape. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking to stay in Sarasota on a budget, a seasonal visitor in need of a winter retreat, or someone who values authenticity, this is a home where you can begin to build not just equity, but a meaningful life. QUALIFIED BUYERS MAY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASSUME THE EXISTING FHA LOAN AT A 2.9% INTEREST RATE. THIS RARE FINANCING OPTION COULD MEAN SIGNIFICANT MONTHLY SAVINGS COMPARED TO CURRENT MARKET RATES. ASSUMPTION IS SUBJECT TO LENDER APPROVAL AND BUYER QUALIFICATION. CONTACT THE LISTING AGENT FOR DETAILS.
