One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to the red hot Gillespie Park neighborhood. Gillespie Park is a diverse urban chic location in the city's Downtown Neighborhood Zone where 1 residence and 1 guest house w/separate full kitchen is permitted. This is a great investment opportunity where you can live in one 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath house and rent out the additional FULL guest quarters of separate bedroom with ensuite bathroom PLUS kitchen/living room. This new RECENTLY COMPLETED West Indies inspired Divald Homes built 2563-square-foot home is only a 1/2 block away from 10 acre Gillespie Park in the heart of Downtown Sarasota, which features meandering walking paths, a serene pond, tennis courts and a separate well-equipped playground. Top quality construction features steel reinforced concrete walls, beams, columns and concrete floor slab. This brand new 2 story design offers 3 possible complete master suites – one downstairs and 2 upstairs within the main house. You even have another family room upstairs to support those 2 upstairs suites. The upstairs suites feature a huge covered terrace, perfect for sunrises, or listening to and enjoying a rainy day or night with a little light conversation without getting drenched in the process. The open floor plan has a living room/dining room combination in conjunction with an open kitchen with 36" upper custom cabinetry, sleek granite tops and breakfast bar. This house also includes a large detached 2-car garage with a separate 469 SF guest house above with its own split system HVAC – perfect for a little extra income as a rental – or just the ideal in-law or guest suite.
