Located within the gated Bollettieri Villas at IMG Academy, this spacious villa offers an exceptional opportunity to own one of Bradenton's most convenient & private locations-just steps from IMG Academy's East Campus tennis and basketball facilities and minutes from beaches, shopping, dining, and SRQ Airport. Spanning 1,981 square feet, the home features three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, plus a versatile bonus room that can easily function as a 4th bedroom, home office, gym, or study. Cathedral ceilings throughout much of the home create an open, airy feel, while plantation shutters and large windows provide natural light and tranquil preserve views, offering both privacy and a peaceful setting. There is additional flex space off the living room giving owners the opportunity to utilize as a formal dining space or as additional living space. The residence has been thoughtfully maintained and partially updated, while also presenting a strong value with opportunity for future cosmetic upgrades, allowing a buyer to personalize the space and build immediate equity. The primary suite sits on its own wing of the property and includes an ensuite bathroom with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and quality finishes. Two bedrooms with shared full bathroom sit on the opposite wing of the home from the master creating additional privacy for all. The kitchen includes extended counterspace overlooking the spacious living room, a breakfast nook, and a dedicated walk-in pantry. The property includes its own laundry room in unit with a sink cabinet. There is an additional storage closet just off the outdoor front porch. The HVAC system is equipped with humidistat and ultraviolet purification to support air quality. A private, gated front balcony provides a quiet outdoor retreat, ideal for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. A brand-new canvas awning with a metal frame will add the rare benefit of three covered parking spaces, a standout feature within the community. Residents enjoy access to a heated community pool, spa, and fitness room, along with walkable proximity and golf-cart access throughout IMG Academy. The community allows one-month minimum rentals, making this property well-suited for long-term rental investment, seasonal use, or owner occupancy-a flexible option in a high-demand area driven by IMG Academy and nearby amenities. Just a short drive to grocery stores, UTC Mall, downtown Sarasota, and the Gulf beaches, this villa offers an ideal blend of location, space, investment potential, and long-term value.
