Under contract-accepting backup offers. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in central Sarasota, this beautifully updated single-story home lives much larger than the listed square footage. Situated on a generous .26-acre lot, this light-filled home has vaulted ceilings, an open layout, wood laminate floors, an updated kitchen and bathrooms, and walk-in closets in both bedrooms. The kitchen features granite countertops, subway-tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bath and sliding glass doors that open to a small, private patio surrounded by greenery that feels like a private hideaway. From the living area, step out to a screened lanai and brick-paver patio plumbed and wired for a hot tub, then take in the expansive, fenced backyard. A mature, flowering jacaranda tree stands in front, shading the house and keeping it cool. This home has a metal roof, two-year-old HVAC, and newer washer, dryer, and dishwasher. The attached garage includes a small second refrigerator. This happy home is close to shopping, schools, restaurants, and I-75. Downtown Sarasota is just 10–15 minutes away, the Gulf beaches 20-25 minutes away.
