Here's your opportunity to build value through renovation and own a condo with arguably one of the best views in Palm Aire. This is the ONLY 4-story building in Palm- Aire. Better yet, this condo is on the top floor, on the golf side, near the 11th fairway with sweeping views across the Champions Golf Course. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo is priced at $161 per square foot (well below Sarasota's condo average), this unit is an honest opportunity for you to renovate and create something special. The 1,090-square-foot floor plan is bright and open, providing a solid canvas for your vision. A newer AC system was installed in 2023 and the association replaced the roof in 2024. The pricing reflects the reality: this condo needs cosmetic updates including flooring, paint, kitchen, and bathrooms. Whether you're an investor looking for a value-add project, a first-time buyer building sweat equity, or someone wanting a seasonal retreat to customize, the numbers work in your favor. This condo can be used as a rental; the association allows a one-month minimum rental period, giving you the opportunity to earn income when you’re away. This building DOES have an elevator and a laundry room on each floor. You'll enjoy heated community pools, a clubhouse, and fitness room without any country club obligation. Optional membership unlocks even more: a 36-hole championship golf course (refurbished 2021), pickleball and tennis courts, fitness classes, social events, and an on-site restaurant. It's country club living at your own pace and budget. The location sells itself. It’s 5inutes from University Town Center for shopping and dining, 10 minutes to Downtown Sarasota's arts and waterfront scene, and 15 minutes to St. Armands Circle and Gulf beaches. Nathan Benderson Park, local restaurants, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (5 miles) are all nearby. You're centrally located to everything that makes Sarasota special. This is a smart buy for anyone who sees potential and wants to build value through renovation. The view, location, and price point make it a rare find in today's market. Schedule your private tour and envision what this space could become!
