4873 VILLAGE GARDENS DRIVE #191

Move in Ready and not impacted by recent storms. Village Gardens is a beautiful, park like setting with a stunning tree canopy and recreational facilities including a heated pool, pickle ball & tennis courts and a clubhouse with activities. Conveniently located just north of downtown Sarasota and near the University Parkway corridor providing quick access to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, UTC Mall and I75. Live here and you will also be near cultural & educational institutions like the Ringling Museum of Art & Design, Asolo Theatre of Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet, Ringling College of Art and Design and USF! This is a rare opportunity to own the “Palm” model with a fully enclosed Florida room making it one of the larger homes in the community. Another important upgrade is a complete set of impact resistant, insulated, “hurricane” windows. These were custom made including the clerestory windows in the great room which has a vaulted ceiling. There is a tiled front porch big enough to visit with neighbors, a foyer entry and a large eat in kitchen. The chefs among us will appreciate the natural gas range and the moveable, butcher block island. A colorful, tiled backsplash adds some whimsey. Floors throughout are a combination of an oak laminate and ceramic tile. The primary bedroom is an en-suite with a walk-in closet, low threshold shower and direct access to the Florida room. The second bedroom is currently set up with a Murphy bed and the bath has a tub for those wanting a soak. The Palm model also has an interior utility room with storage cabinets, a washer, and a dryer. Out back you’ll find a cozy paver patio with a walkway leading around to the carport. The long views are of the lush, well-maintained grounds which retain a very natural look and feel. This property is being sold with contents as pictured. Move right in!
