SHORT SALE. Charming home with stone front and huge stone fireplace. Great room plan offers a very open plan, 10' ceilings and split plan bedrooms. No pool but a very private large screened lanai overlooking lovely trees and a small view of a pond. This is a great home for a family or an investor. It does need new appliances and some minor repairs as reflected in the price. Great location in Manatee county with a Sarasota address just north of University Park. The community fees are only $80 a quarter and provide a heated swimming pool and 2 tennis courts. Convenient to I-75, the University Town center and Downtown Sarasota complete with shopping, restaurants and the beautiful Gulf Beaches. Don't miss this opportunity especially at this bargain price.
