Wow is the only word to describe this stunning South Gate home! As you approach, the pride of ownership and care taken is immediately evident. The pristine lawn, thoughtful landscaping, sharp paint, and pretty pavered drive are welcoming and hint at the beauty that waits inside. Opening the front door, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the airy and open floor plan – it is bright & beautiful and flows perfectly, with lots of light and just enough definition between the spaces for optimal usability. The new engineered hardwood throughout lends a lovely sense of warmth and continuity, and also gives a very “now” feel to the chic space. Don’t worry, lovers of terrazzo, it is underneath and the floors were not glued in order to preserve it! Freshly painted walls and charcoal-colored hardware complete the elegant but cool interior look. Everything in this home’s split floor plan is well-thought out and no place is that more evident than the kitchen! Pristine cabinetry, gleaming quartz countertops, and likely more storage than you have ever seen in a Florida ranch, and there is also a cute mudroom-type space for easy coming and going from the oversized 2-car garage. Spaciousness abounds here…the main bedroom is huge and the other two are also generous, plus there is a great family room toward the back of the home, along with a very large screened patio! Loads of storage space throughout this cheerful home is convenient and makes it easier to live a clutter-free life. The outdoor space here is impressive as well: in addition to the giant covered patio that acts as an extension of the living area, there is ample open patio space to get some sun & a private outdoor shower too! The entire yard is enclosed with pretty wood fencing and bordered with gorgeous tropical landscaping that provides both beauty and complete privacy, and there is a separate fenced area for pets. This home is immaculate and literally everything is done! A newer roof (2018) and AC (2020), well for irrigation, wiring for closed-circuit cameras, attic insulation, and hurricane shutters complete the package. The location of South Gate, which also offers optional HOA membership & optional membership to the great community pool, simply cannot be beat and this property is truly the best of the best…Imagine living in a home that looks like it came out of a magazine AND being just 10 minutes to downtown and to Siesta Key Beach…yes, WOW pretty much sums it up.
