448 Mcarthur Ave., Sarasota, FL 34243

Convenient to Sarasota AND Bradenton, this delightful home features updated baths, modern laminate flooring, fresh paint, and much more. The living room, dining area, and eat-in kitchen all overlook the private screened lanai and back yard. You'll love enjoying your morning coffee or evening drinks on the spacious lanai, which has plenty of room for tables, grill, and maybe even an outdoor kitchen! The home's neighbors both have fenced yards, so it would be easy to add a bit more fencing to this yard and have the back yard completely fenced in. The home is situated on a large (nearly 1/3 acre) corner lot with mature landscaping, shade trees, and a great view of the peaceful dog park just across the street. The park offers picnic tables beneath large shade trees, as well as ample parking- providing a great place for your family picnics and casual gatherings. There's even a canal running alongside the park that's said to be a good fishing spot! Speaking of fishing, do you have a boat? Store it in the garage- which has plenty of room for the cars, plus there's a roomy workshop area that could easily be altered a bit to fit a good-size boat indoors. Or if you'd prefer, keep the boat nearby at the Sara Bay Marina (which rents both wet and dry slips). This home is within easy walking distance to Sarasota Bay (for great sunsets), as well as the Sara Bay Country Club (ranked in the top 50 golf courses in all of Florida). An optional $30 yearly HOA fee provides you with dining privileges at the Country Club, as well as neighborhood newsletters and scheduled activities. The neighborhood is in a great location, convenient to the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport and lots of attractions including Ringling Museum, Jungle Gardens, Selby Gardens, USF, the 10th St. boat ramp, and downtown Sarasota. Both Lido Beach and the University Town Center mall are only about 9 miles away. Check out the 3-D virtual tour of the home, then come see it in person before someone else snatches it up!
