This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special property on a lush, fully fenced lot and a half with room to live, work, play, and grow. Lovingly owned and meticulously cared for by the same family since the 1970's, pride of ownership shines throughout every inch of this home. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with the home's original character, creating the perfect balance of modern convenience and timeless charm. The open-concept floor plan provides a warm, inviting flow ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. One of the home's most distinctive features is the custom craftsmanship throughout. Built-ins handcrafted by the owner and son— both master carpenters—add warmth, function, and character you simply won't find in today's construction. The primary suite features 2 walk in closets, including a reinforced concrete-block walk-in closet that doubles as a secure safe room, offering added peace of mind. Additional features include a working attic fan that helps improve ventilation and reduce heat buildup during warmer months, contributing to a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.

Location is everything, and this home delivers. Enjoy quick access to Siesta Key Beach, Gulf Gate's popular restaurants and shopping, downtown Sarasota's vibrant arts and dining scene, Legacy Trail, marinas, golf courses, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and I-75 for convenient travel to Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Tampa, and beyond.
