About this home
PRICE ADJUSTMENT of $25k. Private Oasis Awaits! This home is perfect for year round living, a Florida get away or an income generating property. It offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and just under 2,000 square feet of comfortable living. The layout is thoughtfully designed, with 3 separate sitting areas with an abundant natural light through the large windows. The tiled flooring provides a clean, modern aesthetic, complemented by the neutral color palette. The updated kitchen is spacious, with ample wood cabinetry and a quartz countertop, providing plenty of storage and preparation space. The primary bedroom is generously sized with a bathroom, offering a comfortable retreat and a door to walk out onto covered lanai. Additional features include an inside laundry room, newer appliances, energy-efficient double-pane windows, tile roof only 10 years old and plantation shutters throughout for added charm. The outdoor space is perfect private oasis for relaxation while enjoying the sparkling resurfaced pool with a screened enclosure. The oversized lot features lush landscaping and spacious paved driveway, creating a welcoming outdoor atmosphere. In addition, the backyard is fenced in for pets with plenty of room to store watercraft. If desired, the property is Airbnb-ready and is within city limits so weekly rentals are approved. The city location makes for an ideal choice to call home to escape and relax on Siesta Key beaches or explore downtown Sarasota and all it has to offer.
Local Insight
At $347/sqft for a 1961 home, you're paying a fair price for the Sarasota market, but inspect carefully for the typical foundation, roof, and plumbing issues that come with a property this age—the private pool is a draw, but factor in ongoing maintenance costs. The South Gate location puts you near solid schools and keeps your HOA minimal, though you'll want to verify whether that pool and older systems have recent updates or if you're inheriting significant deferred maintenance. The X flood zone is a genuine advantage over much of coastal Sarasota, which matters for insurance and resale.
