4824 VILLAGE GARDENS DR #111 Sarasota, FL 34234

Shh-h-h...don't let the secret get out about Village Gardens! This welcoming tropical community of villa homes is conveniently located south of University Parkway with easy access to both the airport and UTC Mall, and just minutes from Sarasota's vibrant downtown and award-winning beaches. From the moment you enter Village Gardens, the natural beauty of the oak trees, southern pines and palms create a peaceful backdrop for the well-maintained homes nestled among the blooming hibiscus and native plants. This tastefully updated and freshly painted 2 bedroom 2 bath Pine model offers a desirable corner end-unit location on a quiet cul-de-sac street. As you enter the great room, you will be awed by the open, airy feel of this inviting space filled with natural light. The spacious screened-in lanai can be entered through sliders from both the great room and master bedroom...perfect for that first cup of morning coffee or an evening glass of wine overlooking the greenway. A soothing color palette of soft gray and white and cost-saving improvements can be found throughout this lovely home. Everything in the kitchen- stainless steel gas range, microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher, wood cabinets, and granite-look countertops - were all replaced in 2020, as were the bathroom vanities and fixtures. The gas-hot water heater is only a year old; the A/C is 3.5 years, and the roof was replaced by the Association in 2019. Since this park-like community on 35 acres is maintenance-free, the exterior repairs/maintenance and lawn care will be taken care of for you, so all you have to do is move in and start enjoying the Florida lifestyle. The resort-style amenities include a heated pool, pickle ball, tennis, and shuffleboard courts, and a clubhouse with a a party room, social activities, a pool table and lending library. The on-site management brings peace of mind to year-round residents and snowbirds alike, and Village Gardens offers both old Florida charm with state of the art conveniences. This is a friendly, welcoming place for both you and your pets to call home - so what are you waiting for? Let your Florida adventure begin!
