Rare opportunity to purchase a lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in Cedar Hammock, a desirable central Sarasota neighborhood with low HOA fees and close proximity to the interstate, University Town Center, Fruitville shopping center and situated directly across the street from Fruitville Park. The home has been thoughtfully designed with a split bedroom floor plan and open concept living space with volume ceilings.
