5071 Village Gardens Drive 5
SARASOTA, FL 34234

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 “Pine Model”, which sits directly across from the recreational amenities has some wonderful updates. It’s a spacious, split plan 2 bed, 2 bath unit with a great room used as the Living & Dining area. The kitchen has been “opened” to this space creating a very light, bright floor plan with long sight lines. Ideal for entertaining or being a part of the conversation while you’re in the kitchen. This renovation also provides for a spacious breakfast bar adjacent to the dining area. The large living area and the primary bedroom both adjoin the covered, "glassed in" porch which significantly adds to the available square footage. Newer plank tile flooring throughout modernizes the appearance of this home as do the clean white cabinets and glass fronts in the kitchen. There is a 4-burner gas range for the aspiring chefs and plenty of counter space for prep work. Other upgrades and features include a new AC package and natural gas water heater in 2022, an entry foyer, interior laundry closet and the 2nd bedroom even has a walk-in closet for a bit of extra storage. This is a “move in ready” unit you’ll find to be tastefully updated but one you may also be able to put your own stamp on!
