About this home

Room inside, room outside, and a location that puts nearly everything within minutes: this single-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bath block and stucco home in the established Palm-Aire at Sarasota neighborhood offers 2,193 square feet of living space, including an enclosed, air-conditioned Florida room, on a 0.25-acre lot, just east of I-75 off University Parkway, close to University Town Center, Lakewood Ranch, downtown Sarasota, the airport, and the Gulf beaches.

The backyard is the headline. A quarter-acre lot gives you the kind of open green space that’s hard to find this close to UTC, with room to dig into gardening, set up a fire pit and a long outdoor dining table for weekend gatherings, toss a ball or play cornhole, or simply stretch out in the Florida sunshine. There’s also space to dream bigger: a future pool, a paver patio, a workshop or garden shed, or a fully landscaped retreat, all subject to the usual approvals. However you picture spending time outdoors, this lot has the room to make it happen.

Inside, all of that living space sits on one level, so everyday life happens without a single stair. That’s genuinely generous space for a 3-bedroom home, with room to arrange the living and dining areas around the way you like to cook, relax, and host. The enclosed, conditioned Florida room extends that space even further, a comfortable spot for a reading nook, a game table, or a second lounge area that stays usable year-round. The primary bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom for a private start and end to each day, while the other two bedrooms can become a guest room, a dedicated home office, a gym, or a creative studio. A second full bathroom serves the rest of the home, and an attached two-car garage handles parking plus storage for bikes, beach chairs, coolers, and tools.

Built in 1983 with solid block and stucco construction, the home has great bones and is ready for its next chapter. Choose your own finishes, flooring, and colors, and shape every room and every corner of the yard to fit your style, whether you take it all on before move-in or room by room over time.

Then there’s the location. Palm-Aire is one of the area’s long-established communities, home to the private, member-owned Palm-Aire Country Club with championship golf, clubhouse dining, tennis, a pool, and a fitness center. The Mall at University Town Center is minutes away, where Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, and Dillard’s anchor more than 150 shops and restaurants, and Nathan Benderson Park next door offers a world-class rowing venue and a lakeside walking trail. Head east to Lakewood Ranch Main Street for boutiques, dining, a movie theater, and the free Music on Main block party on the first Friday of each month. Downtown Sarasota and its bayfront are an easy drive, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport is close by, and I-75 is minutes away for trips north to Tampa or south toward Venice. When it’s beach day, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, and Anna Maria Island are all within reach.

Generous square footage, a quarter-acre yard, and one of the most central addresses on the Sarasota-Manatee line, all in one home. Schedule your private showing today.
