About this home

Charming 2 bedroom, 1 bath bungalow located on a quiet street in the highly sought after Gillespie Park neighborhood of Sarasota. This home is truly move-in ready, with every detail thoughtfully updated. Enjoy peace of mind with PGT impact windows installed in 2024, along with a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring custom DeVittori cabinetry, a brand-new induction stove, quartz countertops, a new stainless french door refrigerator (December 2025) and a new dishwasher added in 2024. The bathroom and plumbing were completely updated in 2024, along with a new front door. Stylish, high-end luxury vinyl flooring flows seamlessly throughout the home, creating a cohesive and modern feel. Enjoy a large backyard with endless potential...perfect for adding a pool, guest house, or accessory dwelling unit. DTN zoning allows for increased flexibility, including ADU placement up to 3 feet from the property line. The low-maintenance landscaping showcases Florida native plants, offering both beauty and sustainability. Enjoy the best of Sarasota living just moments from your doorstep. Walk or bike downtown to explore the vibrant Sarasota Farmers Market, meet friends for lunch at a variety of popular local restaurants, or unwind in the peaceful surroundings of Gillespie Park with its expansive green space, shaded seating areas, and dedicated dog park. Stay active with access to basketball, tennis, and pickleball courts, The Legacy Trail, or enjoy a calming outdoor yoga session at Bayfront Park before taking a scenic stroll across the iconic Ringling Bridge. Just a short drive away, you’ll find the pristine shores of Lido Beach and the upscale shopping and dining of St. Armands Circle. Cultural attractions like Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium and The Ringling are also nearby, making this location perfect for those who appreciate both relaxation and enrichment. From outdoor recreation to world-class dining, this exceptional area truly offers something for everyone. **Note the seller sold off adjoining 10,000 sf lot in 2025 so the tax amount showing in public record may not reflect accurate taxes which are just over $6,100.
