2243 Nikla Ln., Sarasota, FL 34231

READY TO RENOVATE? Charming well maintained one owner home on over 1/3 of an acre on a quiet cul-de-sac. Rarely available home at the secluded and tropical south end of Riverwood Ave. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths split plan home with a one car garage. Large eat-in kitchen with big window looking out at the Selby-like backyard garden and the 1/3 acre lot filled with tropical plants and trees. Original 1972 yellow formica kitchen cabinets create an opportunity to design your own new kitchen and baths rather than paying for someone else's ideas. Very private location yet convenient to Siesta Key Beach, shopping, restaurants and great schools - Phillippi Shores, Brookside and Riverview. Plenty of room for a pool or an addition if desired. 2015 updates include a new roof, new rear privacy fence and freshly painted inside and out. 2014 improvements include a new water heater, new storage shed and new carpet in the master bedroom. New driveway in 2012. New A/C in 2011. Tile floor in the living room, dining room and kitchen. Double French doors lead to the paver brick patio in back. A winding path leads you through the tropical trees and flowers to a sunny spot perfect for a vegetable garden. Help yourself to a starfruit. Meyer lemons are not in season yet. The well for the sprinkler system makes watering very economical. Close to Phillippi Creek but not in a flood zone. Less than 5 miles to Siesta Key Beach or to downtown Sarasota. Private street maintained by the four owners on the cul-de-sac and two on the corner.
