Set on a generous lot with mature trees providing natural shade, this single-story, freshly painted Sarasota home has been carefully updated without losing the character that makes it feel welcoming. The hip roofline and stucco exterior give the home a clean, grounded presence from the street, while new landscaping and a gated side yard hint at the care given throughout, and hurricane/impact windows from 2019 keep you safe from storms. Inside, a foyer separates the front porch from the main living area — a practical detail that keeps the flow of the home intentional. The living room opens generously at nearly 15 by 20 feet, with vaulted ceilings accented by exposed wood beams, recessed lighting, and a ceiling fan that keeps the space comfortable year-round. Tile floors run throughout the main areas, and the neutral palette makes the space easy to personalize. The kitchen has been remodeled with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a peninsula that opens toward the dining area. A sliding glass door in the dining room leads directly to the screened patio, making it easy to move between indoor and outdoor entertaining. This home offers a split floor plan. The primary bedroom has a private en-suite bath featuring a quartz vanity, mosaic tile accent wall, and a dedicated shelf niche. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath that has been updated with oversized tile in the tub surround and a dark-framed vanity. A laundry area in the garage — with washer and dryer included — keeps utility functions out of the main living space. The screened patio (nearly 14 by 10 feet) is finished with tile flooring, a ceiling fan, and roll-down solar shades that filter afternoon light while keeping views of the fenced backyard. It reads as a true extension of the interior — a place to have coffee or host dinner without the Florida heat. 3.5 miles to Benderson Park; 3.6 Miles to University Town Center; 12.5 miles to Siesta Key Beach Roof 2025, HVAC 2017, Water Heater 2018
