About this home
PRICED TO SELL 5251 Bunyan Rd is a fully renovated, move-in ready block construction home offering nearly 2,100 sq ft of living space on an oversized .5-acre lot, located in the highly desirable Cedar Hollow community in a NO-FLOOD zone. Inside, the property has been fully updated with all new 2026 hurricane impact windows and sliders, a 2021 roof, and a 2018 HVAC system. The interior features brand new flooring throughout, a fully renovated kitchen, and updated bathrooms, with fresh landscaping and paint, creating a clean and modern living environment. This home delivers a rare combination of space, location, and modern upgrades in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Cedar Hollow is known for its quiet streets, established feel, and prime accessibility, all while remaining outside of flood zones for added peace of mind. Conveniently located just minutes from the famous UTC Mall, residents enjoy immediate access to premier shopping, dining, and entertainment. The home also offers quick access to vibrant downtown Sarasota, world-class Gulf beaches, and major commuter routes—placing everything you need within easy reach. The home’s layout is functional and open, with great natural light and a seamless flow between living spaces. Exterior features include an oversized 2-car garage, a large driveway with ample parking, and a spacious backyard with endless potential for outdoor living, expansion, or customization.
Local Insight
At $254/sqft, this 1981 home is pricing competitively for the Sarasota market, but you're buying into an older property that'll likely need updates soon—inspect the roof, HVAC, and plumbing carefully since we're looking at 40+ year-old systems. The no-HOA status and X flood zone (outside the high-risk area) are genuine pluses, and the location feeds into established public schools, but the real question is whether the bones justify the price or if deferred maintenance will eat into your equity quickly.
