About this home
West of the Trail and just past University Parkway, this beautifully maintained home in the private Ballentine Manor Estates offers an exceptional Sarasota lifestyle with an unbeatable location just 5 minutes from SRQ International Airport, 10 minutes to UTC Mall, downtown Sarasota, Lido Beach, St. Armands Circle, and Longboat Key, and only 15 minutes to Siesta Key Beach. Just six homes from Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway, enjoy easy access to kayaking, stunning sunsets, and waterfront relaxation. This light-filled 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence features an open floor plan with a split-bedroom design, providing privacy for the spacious primary suite. The chef's kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a gas stove, while the Florida room overlooks a screened 15' x 30' pool, shaded deck, and beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard with ample space for family and pets. The private fourth-bedroom suite, complete with its own entrance, living area, and kitchenette, offers excellent guest, in-law, or rental potential. Additional highlights include partial bay views from the front yard, a circular driveway with abundant parking, a large dog run, a new shed installed in 2025, and no flooding or structural damage from past hurricanes. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, or income-producing property, this is a rare opportunity to own a private Sarasota paradise in one of the area's most desirable locations.
