5438 Kelly Dr. #12, Sarasota, FL 34233

Great new price! This pampered 3br. 2ba. unit sets on a serene pond and features a huge living room PLUS a large family room that opens to the kitchen. Towering cathedral ceilings with skylight add to the sense of spaciousness. New kitchen and laundry appliances in 2014 except garbage disposal.. Granite counter tops in the kitchen and bathrooms and quality fixtures make this unit seem much newer than it's true age. The 3rd bedroom (with closet) could also make the perfect den. The covered patio flows out to the extended screened porch with a private spa/hot tub. The kitchen, family room and master bedroom all enjoy serene views looking south, beyond a stately oak tree, across a large pond, teeming with fish, turtles and waterbirds. Monthly condo maintenance fees are reasonable considering they include funded reserves for roof repair AND REPLACEMENT (many associations don't cover replacement!). Basic cable, excellent landscaping and exterior care plus streets and sidewalks also included. Socially active clubhouse. The big, sunny, open pool and tennis court are behind the clubhouse. Such a peaceful location, yet 5 minutes to Publix, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Dr.s Hospital, I-75 and lots of shopping and dining. About a 20 min. drive to Siesta Beach or downtown Sarasota.
