3208 OAKWOOD BLVD S invites you to effortlessly step into a bright, coastal-inspired retreat that feels like vacation the moment you arrive. This turnkey furnished home is ideally positioned on a larger lot with a semi-private backyard, offering a sense of space and privacy that's becoming increasingly hard to find. With a charming nautical theme throughout, the home lets you instantly enjoy the Sarasota lifestyle without the hassle of projects. One of the features you'll appreciate more and more over time is the rare privacy this homesite offers--backing directly to the Legacy Trail with no rear neighbors, creating a peaceful, open backdrop that enhances both relaxation and outdoor living. Inside, you'll immediately notice the fresh new carpet in the living room, updated laminate flooring in both bathrooms and the beautifully refreshed primary en suite featuring a new shower door. The thoughtfully updated kitchen pantry and new dishwasher make everyday living feel easier and more organized. For your comfort and peace of mind, the home also offers a new A/C system with updated ductwork and the option to keep laundry in the shed or conveniently bring it inside using existing breakfast-room hookups, knowing even the sewer line has already been updated. You can easily relax and entertain with two patio areas--one in back overlooking the open space of the trail and one in front just outside the enclosed lanai--creating multiple spots to enjoy morning coffee, evening breezes, and friendly conversations. The carport stays noticeably cooler because it avoids direct sun, making arrivals and departures more comfortable year-round. Since everything is turn-key furnished, you can simply move in, add your personal touches and start living the lifestyle you've been imagining. Oakwood Manor is uniquely the only land-owned manufactured home community in Sarasota--a gated, 55+ (no-pet, no-motorcycle) park known for its lush landscaping, social atmosphere and resort-style amenities. The gated 90-acre community proudly offers low maintenance fees, with a current monthly fee of $210, which conveniently includes cable TV, common area taxes, community pool, escrow reserves fund, grounds maintenance, on-site manager, pool maintenance, private roads, and recreational facilities--so much of what you'd normally pay for separately is already bundled in. The community features a large clubhouse with full commercial kitchen, event stage, audio/visual system, dance floor, fitness room, activities hall and a library with books, movies, puzzles and a pool table. Stepping outside, you'll naturally gravitate toward the beautifully designed recreation area featuring an extra-large heated pool with handicap ramp, spacious kidney-shaped hot tub, plenty of tables and loungers, and remodeled shower rooms. Mature oak trees shade a picturesque park area with gazebo, picnic tables, and a community grill, while additional fun awaits at the community putt-putt course, bocce ball, ping pong, horseshoes and corn hole--perfect for staying active and connected. Oakwood Manor is famously a highly social community, so you can quickly become part of a variety of groups, clubs and activities if you choose. Ideally located adjacent to the Legacy Trail and 12 new city-managed pickleball courts and close to downtown Sarasota, shopping and dining, this home makes it easy to enjoy everything you love about the area.
