976 Sunridge Dr. #I6, Sarasota, FL 34234

Priced at $186/sf, this well-maintained 2/2/1 condo is currently the best deal in Sunridge, a complex of low-rise buildings, located close to SRQ airport (with 60 non-stop destinations), the Ringling Museum and college, USF Sarasota/Manatee Campus, New College, and many other great amenities that Sarasota has to offer. The buildings are set in a lush landscape of tropical vegetation with 2 ponds, a clubhouse, community pool, and ample parking for its residents. Grounds and buildings are well-maintained. The roofs were recently replaced (the seller paid $8,100 for this improvement). The 1,236 sf condo has two assigned parking spaces, one of which is covered and in front of the unit. The living room, kitchen, dining room and half bath are on the ground floor, while upstairs we find the two bedrooms (with attached bathrooms), and a closet with the washer and dryer in the connecting hallway. A great feature of this condo is the fact that three rooms have access via sliding doors to a balcony or patio (see photos), and there is a patio next to the front door. The kitchen is located between the living room and dining room, and is connected with both rooms through a big opening, so that the cook can communicate with whoever is in either room. It has a big, new Samsung refrigerator ($2,200). A luxury vinyl plank floor (Coretec Pro) has recently been installed on the stairs and the entire second floor (ca. $8,000). This unit, which has been painted recently, is in move-in condition and is a great investment for those who have been priced out of most of the local real estate market. Since the condo is located close to the beaches, Downtown Sarasota with its vibrant cultural scene, educational institutions, the airport, fine dining, and a wealth of shopping options, you’ll be glad that you decided to move to Sunridge Condominium.
