5695 Gardens Dr. #101, Sarasota, FL 34243

Great bones. New in 2011 with little use since then, AC, stove, frig and dishwasher: 2 new commodes in 2012. First floor with a very open floor plan that just needs personalized updating. The Gardens has been a popular spot for snowbirds as well as fulltime residents. It has a large pool, tennis and shuffle board plus a clubhouse that hosts many resident gatherings each season. Located on the campus Palm-Aire Country Club where membership is optional, it is convenient to downtown, Lido Beach, the airport and all the wonderful shopping in the new centers along University Parkway. This is a very affordable Florida retreat.
