Description

Welcome to Parkridge, a gated community set around a fountain-lined lake just off University Parkway, with everyday shopping, dining, and services just moments away. This second-floor end, corner unit sits in the quietest section of the community with ample parking nearby. With fewer shared walls, no neighbors above you, and no shared hallways or common stairwells, it lives more like a townhome than a typical condo. You have your own covered front entry plus an attached one-car garage with a private staircase straight into the home. It is a comfortable full-time residence and an easy lock-and-leave seasonal home. The home is move-in ready with modern updates already in place, including a new refrigerator, range, and microwave, a new kitchen sink and faucet, new carpet, freshly painted main ceilings, and a recent water heater. The open living and dining area features high ceilings, neutral paint, and the extra windows that come with a corner position. The kitchen offers granite counters, wood cabinetry, a raised breakfast bar open to the living space, and a pantry. The split floor plan gives the primary suite its own side of the home, with a walk-in closet and an en suite bath with a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath sit on the opposite side, so guests, visiting family, or a home office all have their own space. A laundry closet with washer and dryer sits just off the bedroom hall. Both the living room and the primary suite open to a screened balcony that backs to mature trees and overlooks a quiet pond and no neighbors looking in. Ownership here is simple. Parkridge has new roads and new roofs, the association maintains the roof and handles trash service, and with no yard to care for, there is little to manage whether you are here year-round or away for the season. Residents enjoy a heated community pool set on a palm-lined peninsula in the lake, along with guest parking throughout the community. University Town Center, Nathan Benderson Park, and SRQ Airport are just moments away, so shopping, dining, and travel stay easy. Downtown Sarasota, The Ringling, St. Armands Circle, and the Gulf beaches of Lido Key and Longboat Key are an easy drive, and quick access to I-75 connects you to Lakewood Ranch, Tampa, and beyond. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
