Under contract-accepting backup offers. CASH ONLY...Here's your chance to own a single-family pool home in Amberlea, one of Sarasota's highly sought after gated communities. This home has AMAZING potential and is PRICED accordingly to allow for buyers' upgrades! Let's start with the Pros: 1) GREAT LOT & LOCATION... This 4-bedroom, 3-bath pool home with a 3-car garage sits on a beautifully landscaped lot at the end of a cul-de-sac and is ideally located just over 5 miles to world-famous Siesta Key Beach, less than a mile to the Legacy Trail for biking and walking, approximately 7 miles to vibrant downtown Sarasota, only 6 miles to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and about 10 miles to both UTC Mall and St. Armands Circle, all while being zoned for the highly desired Ashton Elementary, Sarasota Middle, and Riverview High School. 2) EXTERIOR... a brick paver driveway and an impressive double-door entrance welcome you to the home, while the backyard features a private lanai and pool designed for year-round enjoyment with a tranquil waterfall and automatic sunshade, along with recent improvements including a newly painted and rescreened pool cage, and a freshly resurfaced marcite pool. 3) INTERIOR... this Arthur Rutenberg Nassau V model offers excellent bones, an open floor plan, multiple tray ceilings, crown molding, and triple pocket sliders that seamlessly connect the main living areas to the lanai, allowing you to enjoy the soothing sounds of the waterfall from inside the home. The spacious kitchen overlooks the outdoor living, while the large laundry room includes a newer LG washer and dryer. The fourth bedroom/office has French doors and beautiful built-in solid cherry wood shelving and cabinetry. OK...now for the Cons: This home needs work and will not pass a 4pt inspection in its current state. 1) Roof is 28 years old and needs to be replaced. **Please note, roofs in this subdivision can be shingle OR tile. 2) HVAC is 15 years old and although it is currently working it is past its life expectancy and will need to be replaced as will some of the duct work. 3) Several minor plumbing and electrical issues were indicated on the last 4pt inspection. 4) There is a pet odor and the inside needs to be updated...including floors, paint, kitchen appliances, bathrooms etc. 5) Exterior needs painting and other cosmetic fixes. KEEP IN MIND, this home is priced so someone can come in and do the remodel and make this their DREAM HOME IN SARASOTA. This home fully remodeled would easily be valued well over $800,000. **PLEASE READ SELLER'S DISCLOSURE PRIOR TO SCHEDULING A SHOWING OR MAKING AN OFFER. Recent inspection report, wind-mit, 4pt, and WDO all available upon request.
