Welcome to this 1,658 sq ft single-family home offering 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a 2-car garage and a Florida room. This move-in-ready Villa has 1,115 sq ft of heated living space and a rare courtyard for outdoor living and gardening. The new roof (2020), new water heater (2022), new Central AC (2023), new ductwork, and new electrical wiring are some of the upgrades for a stress-free living. You will love the skylight-filled living space with cathedral ceilings, which cuts down the electricity bill. A sliding door leads to the Florida room in the rear. Both bedrooms have wood-looking laminate floors. Granite counters and an eating space in the kitchen add to the ease of living. The all-ages Riviera Club Village is a highly sought-after community with low HOA fees and NO CDD. Trash charges are part of the property tax. The monthly HOA fee ($331.67) is comparatively low considering that it covers the maintenance and repairs of the roof, driveway, sidewalks, gutters, exterior painting, landscaping, tree trimming and street lights. The Longwood Park Community center, owned and maintained by Sarasota County, is just around the corner and offers plenty of recreation facilities and amenities for all ages. Therein are playgrounds and rides, a gymnasium, indoor rooms for meetings and celebrations, Pickleball courts, Tennis courts, a Basketball court, a Baseball field, and dog-walks. For a healthier lifestyle, you can become a member of Sarasota's well-known Palm-Aire Country Club across the University Pkwy, which has one of the best swimming pools, spa, and recreation facilities like tennis, pickleball, 18-hole Golf Club, etc. For beach-lovers, the world-famous Siesta Key Beach is about 13 miles away, and it is only 10 miles to the idyllic Lido Key Beach. Living near several breathtaking blue keys, busy marinas, and extensive waterways of Sarasota is a dream come true. Think of yet another attraction, the European-styled St. Armands Circle, famous for high-end outdoor shopping, galleries, restaurants and a central park with circus-themed statues. Just behind the Riviera Club Village sits the reputed Foundations Christian Montessori Academy for K-12 graders. It takes barely 5-8 minutes to the sprawling University Town Center (UTC) Mall, Sarasota's upscale shopping and dining destination. Located close to the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, downtown Sarasota, the University of South Florida, New Florida State College, Ringling College of Art, and the Ringling Museum of Art, this place is one of the best locations to enjoy Florida's endless summer. Come and make it yours, and don't miss this rare opportunity!
