Motivated Sellers! Welcome home to this Spanish Mediterranean–style three-bedroom, two-bath pool residence in the sought-after Gulf Gate Woods community—just a short bike ride from world-renowned Siesta Key Beach. Blending timeless design with modern updates, this home offers a lifestyle defined by comfort, convenience and coastal charm. Go inside to discover a freshly painted interior with smooth new ceilings, upgraded lighting on dimmers throughout and newly textured garage flooring. The updated Kirkplan kitchen offers granite countertops, soft-close wood cabinetry with pullout shelving, stainless appliances, a large built-in pantry and bookcase, and a lovely area to enjoy serene pool views from the breakfast nook, ideal for morning coffee or casual dining. The bath cabinets have been replaced along with new glistening quartz counters. The primary bath features an amazing, cultured marble shower with bench that was just installed last year. You will love the bright and sunny private laundry room with new pedestal Samsung washer and dryer (2023). A new barrel tile roof (2023) adds architectural style and long-term peace of mind. This home has been totally re-piped. Outdoors, the exterior walls have been transformed with warm ivory paint, a new paver front porch and front walkway enhance the curb appeal while fresh sod and colorful landscaping create a lush, tropical setting. The fully fenced backyard (2023) is framed with neighboring trees and the inviting paver pool area with a 12-by-32-foot pool offers a private retreat for relaxation or entertaining. This location delivers the best of both worlds—close to Siesta Key Beach without the traffic, and just minutes from schools, fine dining, boutique shopping, golf and boating. Whether you are seeking a full-time residence or seasonal escape, this Gulf Gate gem is an exceptional opportunity in one of Sarasota’s convenient beachside communities.
