2174 Bougainvillea St., Sarasota, FL 34239

Not your typical 2 bedrm, 1 bath, 1 car garage, Florida 50's home. You will appreciate the love this "absentee owner" has poured into this dwelling. The landscaping is gorgeous with $30K spent on this alone. There's a beautiful Bougainvillea canopy as youwalk to the back of the home, avocado & fruit trees, & strategically placed palm trees to create privacy in your backyard oasis. Enjoy pavers galore from the driveway to the sides of the home, pool area, & even the floor of this "newly" built garage. Thepool area has a newer bronze screen enclosure, which also encompasses the outside covered lanai. A huge outdoor area was created to entertain or sit back, relax & enjoy while overlooking your luscious backyard fitted with a good size utility shed. Insidethe home has a cozy cottage feel. The layout is inviting w/ 2 good size bdrms & a nice size bathroom. The Florida rm has an eating area along with a great place to kick back & read a book. It's all glass, so you can enjoy a cup of coffee while admiring your beautiful backyard. The home also has higher ceilings & all windows except the Florida rm have been replaced w/ hurricane impact resistant glass. The garage has a utility room w/ washer/dryer. It had a 2nd bath & can accommodate one again. The roof was inspected in 2012 and was found to have above standard sheathing. Tongue & groove covers this home while the owner has appreciated a nice insurance credit. A little updating & you'll enjoy for years to come.
