5577 Golf Pointe Drive, Sarasota, FL, 34243

You have a couple hole-in ones and a deuce on the signature 17th hole of Sawgrass, but since then your quest to lower your handicap to single digits has stalled. But now that you’ve made the move to really retire and set your sights on Florida, let the assault begin. It starts with an exceptional RENOVATED maintenance-free villa that offers more than 2150 sq ft of living space and is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in an active golf community because you don’t want to be chasing the pool guy or a sprinkler guy in your spare time. Living here, you can enjoy truly care-free living as your Association takes care of the roof, professional landscaping, hazard insurance, and maintenance of the exterior. Because you won’t be painting the exterior of your home, mowing the lawn, or testing the Ph in your pool, in addition to refining your golf game, you’ll have enough time to learn Portuguese and prepare for your total immersion-vacation to Portugal in which you’ll find a world where poets, painters, and pastry shops keep rhythm to the soulful sounds of Fado music. Pricewise, you won’t find anything like this in Lakewood Ranch or University Park. And here, you can avoid the exorbitant CDD or RDD fees and taxes that come with owning property there. There is NO CDD FEE. By the time you get here, the large, empty two-car garage will be ready for your Jaguar and golf cart. The extensive updating includes a Garage Door Opener (2022), Refrigerator (2022), Range (2021), A/C (2020), Dishwasher (2019) and hurricane-impact windows. Two large bedrooms PLUS A DEN/OFFICE give you plenty of space. A cathedral ceiling and five ceiling fans (2020) along with the washer/dryer will make your assumption of the space, comfortable and clean. The newer roof (2013) is covered by your Association. The Association amenities include TWO community swimming pools. Since golf is your game, you will find access to 63-holes of championship golf nearby whether you chose the private Palm Aire Country Club offering 36 holes or the semi-private University Park Country Club’s 27-holes. Both clubs have MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE without a waiting list, unlike some of their celebrated counterparts, east of I-75. Enjoy golf, tennis, pickleball, an Olympic-sized pool & fitness facilities as well as social/dining. In both cases, the array of MEMBERSHIPS ARE OPTIONAL. You will enjoy the convenience of being west of I-75 enabling you to avoid a good portion of the seasonal congestion and be closer to the beaches and downtown entertainment venues. Minutes to the Ringling Museum, UTC Mall, Sarasota's exceptionally vibrant downtown, & our stunning Gulf Coast beaches as well as the airport. PRICE REDUCED, motivated seller.
