Close to Siesta Key and Southside Village, yet consistently safe from storm damage. This “West of Trail” mid-century coastal ranch offers comfortable living with the security of impact windows and a metal roof, while safely positioned above flood zone. Entering the residence through the walled, private courtyard with tropical foliage and a peaceful fountain, the stress of your day will be swept away. This nearly 1900 square foot home offers a blend of contemporary updates with classic southwest Florida charm. From the vaulted ceiling to the tile floor, the modern oversized caged pool and the generous two-car garage, living like you’re on vacation will be your “every day.” Even when life is less of a vacation, your day-to-day is accommodated by proximity – Siesta Key just 2 blocks away, restaurants and shopping are close at hand, the top-rated Southside Elementary a mere 5 minute drive. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers a split floorplan with a view of the courtyard from the primary suite and a large open living area in the center of the home awash with natural light. The primary bath was recently renovated with a beautiful modern glass tile design, featuring a step-in shower and dual vanity. A cozy flex-space conveniently positioned near the main entryway serves as an office. The large two-car garage offers ample storage and a charging station for your EV. A/C was replaced in 2023, interior was repainted and irrigation was upgraded. The heated saltwater pool features multiple waterfalls, LED lighting and expansive deck space, protected by a new pool cage (2023) and surrounded by tropical foliage and fencing. All of these elements not only make this residence a peaceful retreat for owners but offer essentials for an excellent investment property. If stress-free, easy living, close to the best Sarasota has to offer sounds inviting to you, considered yourself invited and come see for yourself!
