SARASOTA, FL 34235 4419 Winston LANE S #50

For the discerning buyer who wants a move-in ready retreat after enjoying all the wonders of Sarasota, this Beekman Lakes villa is the best. So close to downtown, Lido Beach and St. Armands, shopping and restaurants galore all without frustrating, time-consuming travel time. With three (3) big bedrooms, a charming dinette overlooking a front courtyard (which is big enough to host a wedding reception, or after-opera cocktail party) and a great-room large enough for a dining area under the modern chandelier. From here, the lure of the city is less of a command than a diversion. Especially if the chef utilizes the massive kitchen with its gas stove, stainless appliances, and plethora of solid wood cabinets to entertain 'a casa'. The screened-in lanai, accessible from both the main bedroom and great room via glass sliders, is perfect for sunbathing or quiet moments listening to songbirds or the fountain which is timed to begin at noon. An inside laundry (with a full-size washer and dryer) is hidden within a corridor closet. And speaking of closets, the walk-in off the main bedroom is more than adequate, and each bedroom has its own walk-n closet. A Hallway and Linen closets abound. A NEW ROOF, NEW HOT WATER HEATER, and NEW CARPETTING were all added in April 2024. There is also a transferable HOME WARRANTY to address other concerns should they occur. When we write move-in ready, we mean you can have the dishes, the furniture, even the linens, OR we will remove all as you wish. The condo fee includes structure insurance, basic cable, lawn/bush care, irrigation watering, a community pool with spa, and upkeep of the common areas (including the lovely water features at the community entrance), signage and street repair. All you need insure is from the studs in, inexpensive condo/apt coverage, if you feel the need. Beekman Place is a hidden enclave off busy Lockwood Ridge with pleasant walking or biking opportunities around a few ponds. Old Florida oak trees dripping Spanish-moss makes for interesting photos, and the scent of jasmine from blooms on lawns, and trellises, is so heady walkers stop and inhale deeply. Aah, the perfume of the South. For the snowbird looking for the perfect, reasonably-priced purchase to own until they can live the fulltime Florida life, Beekman offers a community of caring residents who love the planned group dinners, and other shared events. Leasing is possible, yearly only, and after 6 months of ownership. Pets are also welcome...a limit of two. Buy now before lower interest rates stimulate a rush to action and you miss out on a truly lovely home in the best location. Be just 5 miles from the airport, UTC and the interstate, Lido and St. Armands. Walk to Detwillers Farmers Market, Super Walmart, and all manner of ethic restaurants.
