About this home

WELCOME TO THE GULF GATE LIFESTYLE—JUST MINUTES FROM SIESTA KEY!

Location, charm, and the Florida lifestyle come together in this beautifully maintained home in Sarasota’s highly sought-after, deed-restricted GULF GATE community. With a BRAND-NEW HVAC SYSTEM (2026) and NEW ATTIC INSULATION (2026) already completed, this inviting home combines classic character with valuable recent improvements.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll appreciate the warmth of the BEAUTIFUL HARDWOOD FLOORS, abundant natural light, and comfortable, welcoming layout. A large picture window fills the spacious living room with Florida sunshine, while the adjoining dining area features a sliding wall that opens to the enclosed lanai—creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

And this home was made for enjoying Florida! Beyond the lanai, an expansive COVERED PORCH AND SCREENED PATIO provide plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining, morning coffee, or simply relaxing and enjoying Sarasota’s year-round sunshine.

The bright galley kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, while the generously sized laundry room offers extensive built-in storage. In fact, STORAGE IS EVERYWHERE in this home. The oversized garage features three additional storage closets and pull-down attic access, while the hallway includes a coat closet, linen closet, and an exceptionally large shelved storage closet.

The primary bedroom offers the privacy of an EN SUITE BATH with a WALK-IN SHOWER, while the second bedroom is conveniently located near the main bath.

Step outside into the LARGE, FULLY FENCED BACKYARD and discover your own private slice of Florida. Gather around the fire pit, unwind in the hot tub (conveyed as-is), entertain under the covered outdoor spaces, or enjoy fresh fruit from your own mature AVOCADO, BABY BANANA, AND MANGO TREES. There’s plenty of space to garden, play, entertain, or personalize the backyard to fit your lifestyle.

Best of all, you’re in GULF GATE, one of Sarasota’s most established and conveniently located communities. Spend the morning on the powdery white sands of SIESTA KEY BEACH, approximately 15 minutes away, enjoy the restaurants, shops, and local favorites of the Gulf Gate area just minutes from home, or head approximately 20 minutes to DOWNTOWN SARASOTA for dining, arts, entertainment, and waterfront activities. Convenient access to I-75 makes exploring everything Sarasota and the Gulf Coast have to offer even easier.

NEW HVAC. NEW ATTIC INSULATION. HARDWOOD FLOORS. EXPANSIVE OUTDOOR LIVING. A LARGE FENCED YARD. INCREDIBLE STORAGE. AND A GULF GATE LOCATION MINUTES FROM SIESTA KEY.

This isn’t just a place to call home—it’s an opportunity to enjoy the Sarasota lifestyle so many come to Florida looking for.

Come see why Gulf Gate continues to be one of Sarasota’s most loved neighborhoods and make this Florida home your own!
