3655 Calliandra Dr., Sarasota, FL 34232

Make no mistake! Yes, this Sarasota home is a 3/2/2. But it is so much more! Nestled in the downtown subdivision of Glen Oaks Estates with its 3-lane front entrance drive, this home sits within city limits and all that the city offers. Beaches, shopping, fresh markets and the exclusive downtown schools and arts. While it was birthed in 1973, its effective year is 15 years younger due to improvements over time. The split plan bedrooms wrap around the central feature of the home – the upgraded kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances and wood cabinetry. There are two kitchen bars - one that is counter height and one that is bar height - each adding to the kitchen's lure. The front office can serve many functions including a possible fourth bedroom with some adjustments. Two large living areas are located right off the kitchen – one for either a dining room or family room and the other for living and entertainment with French doors leading to the rear patio. Huge laundry room is 12 X 8. The master suite includes en suite bathroom, a private office or craft room, a walk-in closet and French doors leading to the sizable pavered and screened rear patio – large enough for grilling, dining, or a campfire. The east garden has an outdoor sitting room, sweet for “under the stars” de-contracting or watching Fido roam the backyard. Situated in an X flood zone there is no requirement for flood insurance. The homeowners association has few limitations and costs $115 per year.
