5146 Northridge 203 is now PENDING and UNDER CONTRACT. Owner also selling 5152 Northridge 307. Search Zillow for this property listing for sale by owner.
At just $139,900, this second-floor 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo delivers incredible luxury and value at an entry-level price! Comparable 1-bedroom units in Serenade are actively listing at much higher prices, making this a rare chance to own in a premium gated community for far less. Cash offers highly preferred for a speedy, hassle-free closing as the community is not approved for conventional financing (FNMA/FHLMC ineligible). Seller will pay off special assessment at closing. Perfect for first-time buyers, investors, or snowbirds seeking resort-style living without the premium price tag.
Step into a generously proportioned open-concept space flooded with natural light and warm wood tone flooring for effortless Florida living. The open living and dining area flows seamlessly into the kitchen, complete with white cabinetry, granite counters, mosaic tile backsplash, and all essential appliances. The bedroom offers a large window for bright mornings and a walk-in closet. The updated bath offers granite counters, stylish tile work and modern fixtures. The in-unit washer and dryer adds everyday convenience. Enjoy your private screened balcony for relaxing views, plus two outdoor storage closets and a potential option for a separate-purchase detached garage.
Serenade on Palmer Ranch is a true resort-style retreat. It is gated, pet-friendly, and loaded with upscale amenities included in the HOA (covering trash, pest control, exterior maintenance, and more): two heated pools, hot tub, 24-hour fitness center, lighted tennis courts (pickleball-ready), clubhouse, playground, and BBQ grills.
This unbeatable location in desirable Palmer Ranch puts you 13-20 minutes from Siesta Key Beach (America's top-ranked for its sugar-white sand), steps from the Legacy Trail for outdoor adventures, and with easy I-75 access to University Town Center, Benderson Park, downtown Sarasota, Venice, Tampa, and beyond. SRQ airport is an easy 15-20 min away. Publix, dining, and shops are a short walk or drive away.
Don't miss this exceptional opportunity offering luxury amenities, generous space, and prime Sarasota living at a price that's hard to believe! Cash preferred for fast close. Schedule your viewing today before it's gone!
