Two bed, two bath Palm model with an enclosed Florida room providing 1, 262 square feet of air conditioned living space. This is a favored floor plan in Village Gardens because it has a great room, open plan with a vaulted ceiling and clerestory windows. This creates a feeling of light, bright spaciousness. And having the Florida room brought under air also brings the utility room (large enough for generous storage) inside. In addition, 4859 Village Gardens is a back of property unit with views of green space which might make you feel you are on the edge of a forest rather than looking over neighboring patios. The privacy of being on the end of a cul de sac, looking up and into tree canopy is unsurpassed in this community. But the most unique thing about this property is originality. This lightly lived in condo remains un-remuddled and looks much like it did in the early 1980's. Would you believe it is looking chic, once again? Seeing an unadulterated unit reminds us how truly progressive the original developers were in their contemporary use of built in's, finishes and floor plans. If 1982 is not your style, then take comfort in the fact you will not be undoing the modernization of others. Consider this one a blank slate to make your own. Village Gardens is a beautiful, park like setting with a stunning tree canopy and recreational facilities including a heated pool, pickle ball & tennis courts and a clubhouse with activities. Conveniently located just north of downtown Sarasota and near the University Parkway corridor providing quick access to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, UTC Mall and I75. Live here and you will also be near cultural & educational institutions like the Ringling Museum of Art & Design, Asolo Theatre of Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet, Ringling College of Art and Design and USF!
