OPEN HOUSE: Artist Jack Alexander's Pool Home (University Park Area)

This is to invite you to view artist/decorator Jack Alexander's artworks and private residence where Sangria, salami, cheese, crackers and crudities will be served.

Best described, Alexander's works are a cutting-edge combination of realism, surrealism and visionary art. Collectors and clairvoyants credit his images as having healing properties.

His stylish pool home, which is being offered at $190,000, has "good bones." It features:
• 3BR/2BA
• 2,113 sf heated/cooled with 1,508 sf living area
• Lot Size = 10,149 sf / 0.23 acres
• Perfect Starter Home or Retirement Destination
• Concrete block/stucco construction
• Open, airy split floor-plan
• Multiple upgrades

Completely refurbished and redecorated in 2011, the home is detailed inside and out with custom-built rock work, hardwood floors, Berber carpets, French doors, a dreamy sky wall mural, and hand-painted faux surface treatments in exotic marbles, distinctive granites and decorative wood grains.

Columns, chandeliers, and faux marble walls and flooring grace the front hall and entryway. The home also hosts such welcome extra touches as a separate breakfast nook, a family room with built-in media center, a screened-in lanai, a fenced-in backyard with surrounding privacy fence, and a massive grand oak tree for shade.

Only 10 minutes from Sarasota International Airport (SRQ), this well-appointed home is approximately 15 minutes from downtown and the world's voted #1 top beaches, less than 5 minutes from the Sarasota Kennel Club, about 10 minutes from The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and within walking distance to banks, shopping, movies, restaurants and more. The surrounding neighborhood is safe, quiet, quaint and respectful. A brand-new HVAC keeps cool in the summer and cozy in the winter. This low-maintenance residence is relaxing year-round, and there are no Home Owner Association fees or deed restrictions to cramp your style!
