One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. If you want to be CLOSE to everything that is wonderful about Sarasota, and not have the hassle of traffic, then this is a perfect location: FIVE MILES in various directions from Downtown, from the Airport, and from Interstate 75. Located just off University Parkway and Lockwood Ridge in Beekman Place means you are at the beginning of all the great shopping: walkable to Super Walmart, Detwiller's Farmers Market, Floor & Decor, an Indian, Italian, and French restaurant, and yet you are in a lovely community where the residents are out walking, biking and enjoying the old Florida landscape. Beekman Place, is NOT in a flood zone, is not gated, and yet the community is like an oasis offering peace and tranquility off busy Lockwood Ridge.

The home, as seen here, is full of the owner's furnishings, but you can imagine your own stuff within this 3 bedroom, 2 bath, SFH with a great room, and an adjoining bonus room now used as an office. The third bedroom is being used as a den. CATHEDRAL CEILINGS enhance the sense of space, and sliders to the pool/lanai add lots of light. Beyond the lanai is a POND, and an interesting vista of greenery dotted with small homes beyond and some months a year, a floral display from a nearby tree which delights the eye, as does a huge bougainvilla bush resplendently burgundy in hue. Plenty of local fauna roam the community including water fowl enjoying the various ponds, a local bobcat family now and then who live in adjoining preserves, and a continuing array of ibis in either white or black which roam freely from lawn to lawn. A generous 2-CAR GARAGE completes the package which INCLUDES POOL CARE, LAWN & BUSH CARE WEEKLY, ONCE A MONTH HOUSE-CLEANING, and a HOME WARRANTY to handle repairs. You pay your own TV, Internet, Gas/Water/Electric. Owner can be out in three weeks....or a month or two. Home can be furnished or unfurnished (not with the items in these photos... but can show you what the replacements will be as they are currently in another rental). Owner is a licensed Realtor. PETS are allowed in the community but owner will need to meet the 'family' and there will be an additional pet deposit if animal is acceptable. Ditto with child as pool with no child fencing poses a hazard. Gotta meet the family! You will purchase renters insurance no matter what. Comparatively cheap and covers you & owner. Community only allows YEARLY RENTALS.
