Back on market — Buyer financing fell through. This large Bayou Oaks home boasts fresh exterior paint, a professionally landscaped front yard, flexible floorplan and convenient location. Many updates have been made including new AC (2023), roof (2019), water heater (2019), and kitchen cabinets with butcher block counters. The covered entryway opens to the first living space which leads into the kitchen and dining area. A breakfast bar provides additional seating in the spacious kitchen. Opening to the fully fenced backyard an oversized living room with cathedral ceilings leads to a bonus room (which features a private entrance to the yard). With 3 bedrooms + bonus room, two distinct living rooms, a generous kitchen and dining area this home offers space and flexibility while maintaining proximity to everything Sarasota has to offer. Downtown Sarasota is just 2 miles from the home and can be easily accessed by bicycle on a popular dedicated bike lane. Ringling College and its regular art gallery walks is just 0.5 mile from the property. Easily accessible within 2 miles of the property are the Sarasota/Bradenton Airport, the Bay Park (including the Van Wezel theatre, Art Center Sarasota, Sarasota Orchestra, and the Sarasota Municipal Auditorium), and Sarasota's up-and-coming Rosemary District. In addition to being the home of Ringling College the Bayou Oaks neighborhood is also home to the Sarasota Succulent Society and the lush 18 acre North Watertower Park. Lido Beach's crystal quartz sand, the popular University Town Center Shopping area, and I-75 can all be easily accessed in 15 minutes.
