One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Price Improvement. Amid the hustle and bustle of Sarasota’s University Town Center lies a 30-acre oasis called Grande Oaks Preserve. Located right off Honore and DeSoto streets, this community is a half mile from Whole Foods, Tesla Supercharging Station, and one mile to the UTC Mall, Target, Home Depot, and Nathan Benderson Aquatic Park. Eighteen of the 30 acres are dedicated preserve land with native tortoises mulling around munching grasses—the other twelve acres house satisfied condo owners. You can walk or do the drive-and-park option to get to the community amenities. The amenities are located at the front of the subdivision and feature a heated pool, two hot tubs, a fitness center, and a clubhouse. St. Armand's Circle and the sandy beach of Lido Key are 12 miles from the condo. As you drive up to the gated front entrance and wind your way down the tree-lined private road, you’ll arrive at building 8, the newest of the five buildings in the subdivision. Enter the main lobby and take the elevator to the second floor. Condo 2-C's notable attributes include 2037 square feet of living space, two bedrooms plus a den (could be a third bedroom), two bathrooms, and an enclosed screened lanai facing the wetlands. The view from the enclosed porch and the owner's suite is stellar and practical. There are two sets of two sliders on the porch - both are tempered glass impact sliders, which not only keep debris off the porch but also mitigate wind impact. The condo has been diligently tended to: all new paint on walls and baseboards, new luxury water-resistant wood-like flooring, new carpet, new washer/dryer, new kitchen appliances, and new HVAC in 2018. The first floor, under-building garage is secure and offers direct access to the front lobby. Each unit has a dedicated deeded parking space and an air-conditioned private storage locker to stow beach accouterments. There is an open bike rack for the cyclists in the family. In this building, every floor has a trash chute for convenient disposal of garbage. Come and take a look. We think you will not be disappointed.
