Can you say perfectamundo? To quote Happy Days, schedule an appointment to see this great 2/2 in the Tropical Shores neighborhood because it is practically “perfectamundo” in so many ways! Tropical Shores is a little-known sweet spot in Sarasota, boasting a boat friendly neighborhood, with no deed restrictions and a charming old Florida feel. The house features original terrazzo floors, a very comfortable floorplan, and stainless-steel appliances. The home is very move-in-able, with opportunities to update and make it your own! Outdoors you will find a covered porch for alfresco dining as well as a small, screened porch for morning coffee or evening beverages. The property also has a large shed that is included to store your jet skis, golf cart, bikes or whatever your heart desires! Maybe even an art studio!? A lovely back yard with an amazing mango tree and a hidden water feature also has plenty of room to play or build a pool. Tropical Shores Civic Club, includes a private marina, a convenient boat launch ramp, and a Clubhouse exclusively for RESIDENTS ONLY. Membership is only $75 annually. Ramp access is $300 annually, with limits on the size of boats that can launch, a dock slip is $1,200 annually (There is currently a waiting list). And the Clubhouse fee is $150 per event. The distance from the boat ramp to open water is lickity-split! Don’t “sit on it”, cruise on over and check this 50’s special out, you will really dig it! 1738 Colleen will be a great address for all of your future Happy Days!
