If you're looking in Village Gardens you may already know this is one of Sarasota's hidden gems. It's a peaceful, tree canopied community with many recreational amenities, minutes to downtown and all north side cultural institutions like the Ringling Museum of Art & Design, Asolo Theatre of Performing Arts and the Sarasota Ballet. Just as close are the Ringling College of Art and Design, New College of Florida and USF! And this is one of most attractively priced 2 bed, 2 bath units we have seen for a while. It's the Pine floor plan which has a light & bright great room. This combined Living and Dining space opens to the glassed in, 4 seasons, rear porch. From here the view is mostly greenery as this is one of the most private locations in the whole community. The master bedroom also has direct access to the porch and an en-suite bath with an easy step-in shower. This is a “split plan” so your guests or roommates will have some privacy and their own walk in closet! Of course, there's an attached, dedicated, two car carport and a small front porch with room for seating. This villa is ready for your updates & upgrades but is "move in ready" with a complete appliance package including a natural gas range and a washer & dryer.
