Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Gulf Gate, 3259 Rowena Street offers a rare combination of an oversize lot, thoughtful infrastructure upgrades, including a NEWER ROOF, NEW HVAC in Sarasota’s most walkable, well-loved neighborhoods. The home sits on an expansive lot of approximately 9,480 square feet — considerably larger than typical for the area — offering real breathing room in a part of town where space like this is increasingly hard to find. Within, 1,108 square feet of single-story living space includes two bedrooms and one bathroom, anchored by classic Florida terrazzo flooring that lends the interior a timeless, understated character. What sets this property apart, however, is what’s already been done. The home was fitted with a newer metal roof in 2021, NEW HVAC and is paired with a fully paid-off solar system with a Franklin home battery for storm backup power, and an electric vehicle charging station and newer on demand water heater— all included. Many of the windows are hurricane-resistant and updated plumbing and granite countertops round out a home that offers genuine peace of mind, leaving a new owner free to focus on relaxation and peacefulness. Whether the plan is a seasonal retreat, or an investment opportunity, the groundwork here is already in place to make it your own. Outside, the yard offers privacy and flexibility for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the Florida sunshine, shaded by mature trees and a peaceful creek in the backyard. The cul-de-sac setting lends a quiet, residential calm, while the surrounding Gulf Gate neighborhood keeps everyday life effortless: coffee shops and restaurants sit within easy walking distance, a Publix shopping center is less than a mile away, and the Legacy Trail is close enough for cyclists to reach downtown Sarasota to the north or Venice and North Port to the south. Beyond the property itself lies everything that makes this part of Sarasota so coveted — Gulf Coast beaches, year-round outdoor recreation, and a thriving arts and dining scene all within easy reach. With its oversized lot, meaningful infrastructure upgrades, and prime Gulf Gate location, 3259 Rowena Street is an opportunity to build lasting value in a setting that rarely becomes available.
