Updated pool home in central Sarasota, effective build year 2011. This three-bedroom, two-bath, two-car garage residence has been meticulously maintained and extensively upgraded, reflecting an effective build year of 2011, per Sarasota County tax records. Significant improvements include a new roof 2023, updated pool 2024, new water heater 2024, new appliances (mostly) 2024/2025, new air conditioner 2022 and a new well pump in 2019. The home was re-piped with PEX in 2017, and pipes jetted in 2021. This property is outside of a flood zone and, according to the owner, has had no hurricane or storm damage. There is a hurricane-impact garage door and hurricane shutters for the PGT double hung insulated vinyl windows the seller installed. On a spacious 10,100-square-foot lot, this home features a new (2024) vinyl fence enclosing the entire backyard. The desirable split floor plan offers two gathering spaces, an open-concept kitchen/family room and separate bedrooms for extra privacy. The owner’s retreat is a quiet sanctuary, complete with sliding glass doors to a dedicated patio overlooking the expansive lawn and oak trees, an en-suite bath and a walk-in closet, while the guest bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned by the guest bath and family room. Designed for relaxing or entertaining, this home invites gracious living and seamless access to the indoor/outdoor Florida lifestyle we desire. In central Sarasota, this home is minutes to major shopping and dining destinations and under seven miles to World Renowned Siesta Key Beach. Convenient to downtown, cultural arts, international airports, Interstate 75 and all Sarasota has to offer, this incredible, move-in-ready home will go quickly! Call for your private tour today.
