This beautifully renovated and updated Gulf Gate East home will not be available long. Its location is highly desirable, minutes from Siesta Key, numerous highly rated restaurants, and a variety of stores. Downtown Sarasota is just a short drive down the road with quick access to 41. Additionally, Gulf Gate East is adorned by wide streets and sidewalks and you'll frequently see residents and families taking a stroll around the charming, safe, well-maintained neighborhood. The home is surrounded by pleasant and easily maintained landscaping, along with the beautiful wood accents, giving a wonderful first impression. Upon stepping into the home, the highly functional, open floor plan immediately catches the eye. There is an abundance of light cascading in through multiple sliding glass doors that lead out to the screened lanai and new paver courtyard. A stunning kitchen complete with granite countertops, GE stainless steel appliances, soft close cabinets and drawers, an island with seating for 4, and under-cabinet LED lighting encompasses one end of the home. Both bathrooms have dual sinks while the master bath integrates a zero entry shower for a clean and efficient look. Additionally, the bedrooms are located on opposite ends of the home for added privacy. A brand new, large bedroom opens to the patio courtyard and is complimented by a large walk-in closet. The entire home has new Rexwood waterproof laminate flooring, all dual pane HURRICANE WINDOWS (including sliders!), dimmable LED lighting, new ceiling fans, and door hardware. There are speakers with individual volume controls located throughout the house, great for entertaining or just enjoying your favorite background music. Sturdy block construction, upgraded plumbing, a newer garage door and a new AC unit with UV sterilization are all added bonuses. Add plenty of built-in storage in the garage plus a new storage shed on the side of the home, a large uncluttered, and newly fenced yard combined with decorative outdoor accent lighting and you have a very desirable property.
