Property Description
PRICE ADJUSTMENT! DON'T WAIT! Here are FIVE reasons you may want to buy 5500 Longwood Run Boulevard Unit 203 in Sarasota, Florida: 1. Affordable and Updated Living: The condo is a great blend of affordability and location. It's a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit with just under 1,000 square feet of living space. It has been updated with features like laminate and tile flooring, and a screened porch. This allows a new owner to move in without the immediate need for major renovations. 2. Convenient Location: The unit is situated in a highly desirable area near upscale UTC and University Place CC. It offers easy access to I-75, is close to the UTC Mall for world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment, and provides a straightforward route to Sarasota's beaches. The location is also noted to be near the Longwood Run Park, which offers walking/running trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, basketball & tennis courts, and an indoor fitness center. 3. Maintenance-Free Lifestyle: The property is part of a small, two-building complex that offers "maintenance-free living." The HOA fees cover services like cable TV, common area taxes, insurance, maintenance of the grounds and structure, pest control, and trash removal. This makes it an appealing option for someone who wants to enjoy the Florida lifestyle without the typical upkeep of a single-family home. 4. Desirable Interior Features: The condo includes several appealing interior features. It has an open floorplan with cathedral and high ceilings, creating a spacious and airy feel. The layout is a split-bedroom plan, which provides privacy. The unit also includes a walk-in closet in the primary bedroom and an in-unit laundry closet with a washer and dryer. 5. Rental and Pet-Friendly Policies: The complex has a pet-friendly policy, allowing for 2 dogs of any breed + cats with some minor restrictions (max pet weight of 40 lbs.) It is also approved for leasing with some restrictions, making it a potentially good investment property for someone looking to rent it out.
