5208 96TH ST

Rare opportunity to own a spacious estate home on a premium ½-acre golf course homesite in the highly sought-after Rosedale Golf & Country Club community. Positioned on one of the larger lots in the neighborhood, this property offers exceptional potential for a buyer looking to create their dream home while building immediate equity. Major updates have already been completed, including a new roof in 2021 and a new A/C system in 2024, providing a solid foundation for future improvements. The home features a grand presence, generous living spaces, high ceilings, and an expansive outdoor area overlooking the golf course, creating the perfect canvas for customization. Beyond the home itself, Rosedale is one of the area's most desirable gated communities, known for its beautifully maintained grounds, mature landscaping, and outstanding location. Residents enjoy 24-hour gated security, no CDD fees, and convenient access to I-75, Lakewood Ranch, UTC Mall, dining, shopping, medical facilities, top-rated schools, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and the Gulf Coast's world-famous beaches. Optional memberships are available at Rosedale Golf & Country Club, offering access to championship golf, tennis, fitness facilities, social events, dining, and an active lifestyle for those who choose to participate. Properties with this combination of lot size, golf course setting, location, and upside potential rarely come available.
