3015 Rose St., Sarasota, FL 34239

From the moment you spot this happy South Gate house and it's tropical-colored exterior, you will know you've arrived in paradise! Open the front door and enjoy a view of the sparkling pool through your spacious living room, not to mention the upgrades throughout. The pretty wood-look floor perfectly sets off the tasteful modern finishes in the updated kitchen & both baths, and the crown molding really adds a special touch. If you are a cook, you will be very pleased with the granite countertops, convection oven, & fancy range hood in the kitchen too! Generous room sizes give a very gracious feel and the house is bright & sunny at every time of day. The two bedrooms are surprisingly large, and there is a third space adjacent to the living room that makes an ideal office or even a third sleeping area, cozy fireplace included! And the beauty here isn't only skin-deep: the roof was replaced in 2015 and impact windows were added then as well! Moving outside, you will absolutely love the amount of space that the lanai and fenced yard offer. The pristine pool with a waterfall feature and jetted spa shelf takes center stage, and there is plenty of uncovered screened space for enjoying the Florida sun, plus a jaw-droppingly-large covered area too! On either side of the lanai there is a fenced yard that will be an amazing spot for gardening or the pups to play. Finally, the amount of storage this home offers is very unusual for a 1960 ranch - there is a 1-car garage plus a large storage room that also houses the laundry area but can also be used as a workshop or craft room, plus ample closets and cute built-ins inside. The ideal location of South Gate means you'll be less than 15 minutes to downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key Beach, and you'll also enjoy the friendly sense of community that the neighborhood is known for. This cutie won't last so make it yours now!
