2504 Regatta Dr., Sarasota, FL 34231

Drive up to this Gulf Gate beauty at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac under towering oaks and you have arrived home. The owner of 28 years has thoughtfully upgraded and cared for it, inside and out, and converted an original screened porch to 315 extra square feet of bright living space. Be inspired by the soaring ceilings with wood beams at the heart of the living area, overlooked by a bonus mini-loft not included in the square footage. In the center of everything is the gorgeous remodeled kitchen with quartz, wood, and stainless steel – a delight for the lucky chef, with the breakfast bar to keep friends and family close by. A pass-through window connects to the light and bright dining room with its view of the pavered patio beyond. The home’s uniquely versatile layout puts the two spare bedrooms in their own wing with separate entrance and the option to use them as separate quarters for teens, in-laws, or a rental apartment. Step into the backyard and you will be amazed by the garden paths, citrus trees, pineapples, and butterfly garden. New roof 2015. This house is one of only ten in the Gulf Gate West section, seldom seen available for sale. They are built much later than most of Gulf Gate with larger garages, larger lots and no homeowners association membership. The sugary beaches of Siesta Key are a bike ride away or 5 minutes by car, just beyond the vibrant Gulf Gate shopping and dining scene. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to live in one of Sarasota’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
