Completely renovated and transformed, this 3 bedroom, 3 full bath plus office and bonus room home in the Arlington Park neighborhood blends a traditional exterior with fresh and modern living spaces. Brand new 2021 metal roof, all new electrical wiring and panel, and new plumbing! Taken down to the studs, the 1-year project breathed new life into this sprawling mid-century, corner sited, front porch ranch. Sparing no expense, walls were moved and rooms were opened up to create light and bright living spaces and easy flow. New and stunning hand-scraped engineered hardwood floors were laid throughout the home adding warmth to the residence. Timeless white plantation shutters frame each new hurricane-rated window and new, efficient LED can lighting provides soft brightness in every room. The brand new kitchen with classic white and gray palette is an absolute show stopper with its Quartzite natural stone counters and oversized center island with seating for 4, solid wood soft close cabinetry, stainless KitchenAid appliances including under counter microwave, full height subway tile backsplash, and ample pantry storage. The space flows effortlessly into the dining room which features a Quartzite topped built-in with glass front cabinetry and wine refrigerator. The living room is large and bright and the den/sunroom has access to the lovely outdoor space. A restful and spacious owners suite with spa bath featuring Quartzite counters and glass enclosed shower boasts a private outdoor lounging deck to relax and unwind. 2 nicely sized guest bedrooms with generous closets and 2 full and completely reimagined bathrooms complete the restful spaces of the home. Take advantage of a work-from-home lifestyle in the smartly redesigned office featuring Quartzite and wood built-in/desk combination and enjoy the convenience of a workout in the spacious home gym/bonus room. The expertly landscaped and fully fenced rear outdoor space boasts multiple seating areas while the front facing yard with drip-irrigation in the planting beds is the perfect place to sit on the wide front porch and watch the Spanish moss sway from the branches of the live oak trees. A 2 car side facing garage with storage space, hurricane-rated garage door, and circular driveway round out this not-to-be missed residence. Centrally located and near it all, this property is minutes to the heart of Downtown Sarasota and #1 rated Siesta Key beach. Arlington Park and Aquatic Complex is just steps away offering a 50 meter lap pool, fitness center, tennis courts walking trails and more. Welcome home!
