4001 Beneva Rd

A low-rise, garden-style townhouse community built in 1975, this two-story complex offers three-bedroom units arranged as spacious townhomes and condominiums. Exterior character is modest and functional: individual screened lanais or fenced patios, shared landscaped courtyards, tennis and basketball courts, and external storage sheds. Unit interiors commonly feature open living/dining plans, high ceilings, built-in cabinetry, crown molding, solid wood cabinets, stone or solid-surface counters, ceiling fans, and split-bedroom layouts with primary bedrooms and laundry facilities upstairs. Many homes show renovation work — updated kitchens, modern bathrooms, tile or laminate downstairs with carpet above, French or sliding doors, and extras such as walk-in closets and large laundry rooms. Common areas include a clubhouse, community pool, and recently refreshed recreational courts; grounds include irrigation, lighting, sidewalks and gated elements. Parking is surface-level; many units are maintenance-friendly and the association handles exterior upkeep. The site’s location in central Sarasota places it within walking distance of grocery, retail and dining, and roughly five miles from Siesta Key beaches, combining suburban calm with short drives to coastal amenities. Pet-friendly policies are commonly noted and short-term rental flexibility appears limited by association rules and seasonal demand.
