A few minutes from the white sand and calm water of Siesta Key, this Gulf Gate Woods home offers the kind of everyday ease that makes Sarasota feel different from everywhere else. Mornings start with coffee on the large screened lanai, afternoons drift toward the beach, and dinner is never far away with Gulf Gate’s shops, restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and neighborhood bars just minutes from your door. Inside, the home has been refreshed where it matters most. The bathrooms have been updated with a clean, modern feel, while new flooring in the bedrooms brings warmth and continuity throughout the living spaces. A pass-through kitchen window opens directly to the lanai, creating an easy flow for outdoor dining, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying the breeze after work. The fenced backyard is unusually large for the area, offering room for pets, gardening, weekend gatherings, or just a little breathing space between you and the world. Gulf Gate itself remains one of Sarasota’s most established neighborhoods — quiet streets, mature trees, and a location that keeps you connected to everything without feeling crowded. The home sits close to Costco, everyday shopping, and the Sarasota Square redevelopment project, one of the area’s most anticipated transformations bringing new investment, dining, and lifestyle options to South Sarasota. Owner covers lawn maintenance, AC maintenance, and pest control, reducing the hassle of day-to-day upkeep. Tenant is responsible for utilities. Available for immediate move-in. Ideal for tenants seeking a clean, stable home in one of Sarasota’s most convenient and desirable neighborhoods.
