976 SUNRIDGE DRIVE, SARASOTA, FL 34234

Priced at $186/sf, this well-maintained 2/2/1 condo is currently the best deal in Sunridge Condominiums, a complex of low-rise buildings (NO MILESTONE INSPECTIONS REQUIRED), located close to the airport (with 60 non-stop destinations), the Ringling Museum and college, USF Sarasota/Manatee Campus, New College, and many other great amenities that Sarasota has to offer. The buildings are set in a lush landscape of tropical vegetation with 2 ponds, a clubhouse, community pool, and ample parking for its residents. Grounds and improvements are well-maintained. The roofs were replaced  in 2024. This big (almost 1,300 sf) unit  has two assigned parking spaces, one of which is covered and in front of the condo. The living room, kitchen, dining room, and half bath are on the ground floor, while upstairs we find the two bedrooms (with attached bathrooms), and a closet with the washer and dryer in the connecting hallway. A great feature of this condo is the fact that three rooms have access via sliding doors to a balcony or patio (see photos), and there is a cozy patio next to the front door. The kitchen is located between the living room and dining room, and is connected with both rooms through a big opening, so the cook can communicate with whoever is in either room. It has a big, new Samsung refrigerator ($2,200). A luxury vinyl plank floor (Coretec Pro) has recently been installed on the stairs and the entire second floor (ca. $8,000). This unit, which has been painted recently, is in move-in condition and is a great investment for those who have been priced out of most of the local real estate market. It deserves mentioning that the buildings are  constructed of concrete block, and because the complex has no 3+ story buildings,  it does not have to go through the mandatory (often costly) "milestone inspection." Since the condo is located close to the beaches, Downtown Sarasota with its cultural attractions, educational institutions, the airport, fine dining, and a wealth of shopping options, you’ll be glad that you decided to move to Sunridge Condominiums.
