DON'T MISS this South Gate beauty - This meticulously cared-for 3 bed/2.5 bath pool home is centrally located to everything Sarasota has to offer. Step outside into your own private tropical paradise: The fully fenced yard boasts lush, professionally designed landscaping with LED accent lighting and wraps the saltwater pool, large paver brick deck, gazebo, and outdoor living spaces, creating a resort-like setting for entertaining or simply unwinding and recharging. Soak in the included 4-person hot tub, rinse off at the outdoor shower, or retreat to the beautifully finished, air-conditioned outbuilding - ideal as a studio, workshop, home office, or reading retreat. Inside the house, custom wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and sleek granite countertops elevate the kitchen. Porcelain "plank" flooring in the bedrooms and ceramic in the living areas keep maintenance low, while a jetted spa tub in the main bath offers a relaxing soak for owners and guests alike. The indoor laundry room/pool bath keeps wet feet out of the main living space. This home should be the very last stop in your search. Major systems have been thoughtfully updated: new roofs - main and flat (6/26), AC ('24), water heater (2019), and irrigation system with well (new pump 6/26) - plus too many extras to mention. Select furnishings are available for purchase outside of the transaction; digital catalog available upon request. ***NOTE: Washer, dryer and laundry room fridge do not convey
