4474 Oak View Dr., Sarasota, FL 34232

A great house, in a great neighborhood, at a great price. The house: a beautiful two-story, with 4 bedrooms and 3 & 1/2 baths. The first floor bedroom & bath provides the perfect private quarters for the nanny, elderly loved ones or your guests. High ceilings, recessed lighting and a wood burning fireplace make the home warm and welcoming. An oversized two-car garage provides plenty of room for bikes and storage. The fenced backyard, shaded deck and spa is the perfect setting for entertaining. For those concerned about our fragile environment, the landscaping is certified "Florida Friendly". The neighborhood: "The Lakes Estates" is truly one of the great communities in Sarasota. No cookie-cutter development here, it's a challenge to find two houses that look the same. Its central location provides quick access to the beaches of Siesta and Lido Key, downtown Sarasota, St. Armand's Circle, the Interstate and the newly approved Legacy Trail extension. Oak canopies provide shade for the residents as they swim, play tennis, walk, ride and say hello to their friends and neighbors. The price: at a list price of $127.44 per square foot, this home is clearly a bargain.
