Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after gated community of Amberlea, this Arthur Rutenberg Nassau V model offers the Sarasota lifestyle buyers are actively searching for-space, location, and long-term value. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath pool home with a 3-car garage sits on a beautifully landscaped lot 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, and about 10 miles to both UTC Mall and St. Armands Circle for premier shopping and dining, all while being zoned for the highly desired Ashton Elementary, Sarasota Middle, and Riverview High School. The exterior welcomes you with a brick paver driveway and an impressive double-door entrance, while the backyard features a private lanai and pool designed for year-round enjoyment with a tranquil waterfall, outdoor grill, and automatic sunshade, along with recent improvements including a newly painted and rescreened pool cage, a new pool pump, and a freshly resurfaced marcite pool. Inside, you'll find a home built in an era when quality mattered, offering 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 area and features high-end granite countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and three ovens including a double oven and built-in warming drawer, while the large laundry room includes a newer LG washer and dryer. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a private office and showcases French doors along with stunning built-in solid cherry wood shelving and cabinetry. The home is priced to reflect key considerations, including an original concrete tile roof; however, a recent four-point and wind mitigation report from September 2025 (available upon request) indicates approximately 6-8 years of remaining life, so insurance should not be an issue, and it is also worth noting that concrete tile roofing is not required in this subdivision, allowing for a more cost-effective replacement option in the future. Additionally, the HVAC system is approximately 15 years old, but has been regularly serviced, and is in working condition, as documented in the inspection report. Furthermore, the freezer portion of the kitchen refrigerator is not currently functioning and will require repair or replacement, and the home could certainly benefit from some cosmetic updating. These items have been thoughtfully reflected in the pricing, especially considering that updated homes in Amberlea routinely sell in the $800s. This is a rare opportunity to secure a well-built pool home in one of Sarasota's desirable gated neighborhoods with room to add your own personal touches-schedule your private showing today and experience the potential for yourself.
