One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This house is a blank slate to customize to your liking with paint, flooring, and cosmetic details, but the main structural systems have already been taken care of: BRAND NEW ROOF (with 12 year warranty), including new gutters and soffits; BRAND NEW HVAC (with 5 year warranty on all functional components) 2.5 Ton 14 Seer Comfortmaker with 7.5 Heat Strip (1 year warranty service on repairs); NEW ELECTRICAL PANEL with 200amps; all walls and ceilings freshly primed for the color of your choice; UPDATED PLUMBING- all new stop valves, new supply lines, new laundry valves, new shower valve in master bathroom, new faucets in bathroom and kitchen. This is a great opportunity for significant equity upon completion of the cosmetic finishes for an investor or handy homeowner. A recently sold comparable property puts potential after repair value in the $575k range, depending on finishings and design choices. There is room to add a pool and fence on this .26 acre lot to create your own private oasis. Conveniently located near the Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport with just a short drive to downtown, St. Armands Circle, art museums, numerous shopping and dining options, and several beaches and islands, including Siesta Key- one of the highest rated beaches in the country. Located in desirable Whitfield Estates, you can also enjoy pet and picnic-friendly McArthur park, just down the street. The voluntary neighborhood association provides members access to the Sara Bay Country Club for meals, as well as association meetings, bi-monthly newsletters, and neighborhood events. Don't let this one slip away!
