Oakwood Manor is a highly sought-after over 55+ community known for its meticulous upkeep, excellent amenities, and low monthly fees. Unlike many communities in the area, each lot is owned, not leased, making Oakwood Manor especially desirable. What truly sets this home apart is its ideal position on a perimeter lot at the edge of the community, offering added privacy and a peaceful setting. This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence has true drywall walls and also features generous room sizes ...and a thoughtfully designed split floor plan that provides both comfort and functionality. A NEW ROOF installed in 2025 offers peace of mind. The light and bright kitchen features three large windows and a huge center island—perfect for gathering with friends and family. Abundant cabinetry makes storage effortless, highlighted by charming glass-front cabinets and a floor-to-ceiling corner cabinet. There’s plenty of room for a kitchen table, creating a cheerful space to enjoy your morning coffee. Just beyond, the expansive living room offers an open, inviting layout ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The oversized primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a private sitting area, a large walk-in closet, and a full bathroom featuring a soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional well-sized bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home and share a second full bathroom with a walk-in shower—perfect for guests, a home office, or hobbies. A dedicated full laundry room just off the kitchen has built-in shelving and adds valuable storage and functionality. Enjoy Florida living on the covered lanai, accessible from both the primary suite and the covered carport. The extended driveway allows for tandem parking, and a large storage closet off the carport is ideal for holiday décor and extra belongings. Residents enjoy beautifully maintained grounds and resort-style amenities, including a sparkling community pool, hot tub, large clubhouse for social events, shuffleboard, mini golf, and a fitness center—all with low monthly fees. Ideally located just off Fruitville Road, Oakwood Manor offers easy access to everything Sarasota has to offer—approximately 7 minutes to downtown dining, shopping, arts, and waterfront attractions, and about 20 minutes to Siesta Key and Gulf beaches—delivering everyday convenience in a quiet residential setting.
