Tranquil, private and serene are just a few words to describe this incredible 2015 built residence with guest/carriage house and pool located a short distance to downtown Sarasota and steps from Gillespie Park. The main home consists of 2 bedrooms, 2 and a 1/2 baths, living, dining and screened-in lanai. It is beyond charming with extensive built-in storage & shelving, a wet bar, 19-foot ceilings, an amazing chef’s kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances & stunning pendant lighting and sconces. The upper bedroom and full bath also have a walk-in wine closet and abundant extra storage. On a practical note: the home is built with impact windows, SIP (structural insulated panels) which are highly energy-efficient, topped off with a metal roof. Also, it is built with handicap/wheelchair accessibility on the entire first floor. The guesthouse is divided with a full bedroom studio suite, galley kitchenette and bath on one side. The other is a spacious office/den. Both with vaulted 13’ ceilings. There is a bike-storage closet and to the rear is a garden shed with a work sink, electricity and extra shelf storage. The sparkling saltwater heated pool has a Pebble Tec finish, with swim out shelf in the 6’ deep end and waterspout feature. The entire backyard and pool are fenced. The oversized carport has a long drive approach to accommodate 4-6 vehicles. It is easy to perfect the art of living when you live within a work of art. Ten-acre Gillespie Park has a Canine Club dog park with 2 off-leash areas for small or large dogs. Tennis and pickleball, playground, lake with butterfly and succulent gardens, and a Patriots Plaza of busts of heroes from North and South America, exercise equipment stations and 3 little free libraries.
