Rare find in Tri-par Estates; oversized lot in the pet section with two parking spots for your convenience. Private backyard complete with a chiminea for relaxing with friends. This turnkey-furnished home is truly open-concept and bright. The dining and living room combo is very spacious and features an electric fireplace. The front room of the home can be used as a bonus room or party room as it features a bar and stools and wall-to-wall bay windows! Off to the right of that is a quaint porch with an outside sitting area. The bedrooms are large and each has an ensuite. One is a step-in shower and the other is a shower/bath combo. There are "his and hers" sinks/vanities with separate make-up and hair stations. Tons of closets and cupboards for storage inside the home, and a huge attached shed with more storage and a washer/dryer. The lanai provides yet another sitting area, or opportunity for more storage. Tri-par Estates is an active 55+ community where each property is individually owned with a deed and title to the home. We have many amenities here such as a large pool, spa, palapa tiki-hut, pickleball courts, fitness center, shuffleboard, miniature golf, horseshoes, game rooms for billiards, ping-pong, and other activities such as sewing and painting classes and card games. The large clubhouse is host to events such as dinners, dances, meetings, church services, and more. Located close to downtown Sarasota, marinas, hospitals, shopping, dining, Sarasota airport, cultural centers such as museums, performing arts, opera house, and of course Florida’s famous beaches! You own your own land in this special park and recreation district, and pay no “HOA” fee to Tri-par directly; the annual fee of $1,584.00 is included in your property taxes. We are a very golf-cart and motorcycle-friendly community and have optional storage for your R/V and boat.
