Prepare to be wowed when you enter this meticulously updated 3-bedroom/2-bath South Gate home in the coveted Southside school district. Not a stone was left unturned in the thoughtful renovations. All the expensive updates have been completed, Impact glass windows and hurricane rated garage door, metal roof, gutters, limestone pathway around the home for quick draining from the heavy rains, new electric panel, updated plumbing and 2017 AC with all new duct work and UV light. Tasteful wood-look tile throughout, except for the owner’s retreat, sets off the flow of the home. The kitchen has Caesarstone countertops, stainless appliances, and a view of the manicured front yard from the sink window. You’ll be drinking fresh water through the newly installed reverse osmosis system. There is a very large mud room/pantry off the kitchen, providing space for all your bulk buying and additional toys. The owner’s retreat is every person’s dream. This newer addition offers space for a home office, yoga studio, or artist’s creative space; you name it. It's flooded with light and oh so spacious. The closet is outfitted with Elfa shelving by the Container Store, easy to adjust as necessary. The other two bedrooms are spacious and bright. One is en-suite, perfect for guests. A large dining space is adjacent to the kitchen, perfect for sharing meals and making lasting memories over delectable food. The large two-car garage with a hurricane-rated door has an 8-foot extension on the west side offering extra storage. You also have a shower there so you never have to come inside dirty after enjoying the lush outdoors. The outdoor space is incredible here. There is a soundly built play set that can stay or go, a hot tub, plenty of area for planting beds, storage for boat and RV. No toy left behind. There is a shallow well for irrigating. All utilities for this home are underground, a feature not available in many places. For added peace of mind, there is a Nest security system with 3 cameras. The yard is aglow with perfectly positioned lights. South Gate Community Center is a short distance and offers an optional membership with access to lots of fun and a true connection to your neighbors. The Homeowners Association offers a community pool, recreation hall, park, shuffleboard courts and activities. You can launch a kayak or paddleboard directly into Phillippi Creek from the water access at the community center. Bring your fishing pole too, as you can fish right behind it. Close to downtown Sarasota and just around the corner from Westgate Siesta Key Mall, Southside Village and a couple of miles from Siesta Key and Lido Key beaches. A rare opportunity, not to be missed.
