Florida character and charm emanate from this serene, coastal South Gate residence. Warm rays of sun welcomingly glint off pristine pool waters from behind the expansive sliders as you walk into this beautifully cared-for and furnished, turnkey home. New, ceramic tile floors continue the natural appeal throughout, while a wood-burning fireplace creates an inviting feeling of warmth during cool evenings. This two-bedroom “Rose Cottage” as it’s lovingly referred to, combines bright, open family, living and dining rooms, which set the scene for relaxed, everyday living or entertaining. Experience a modern touch with refined features, like crown molding throughout and upgrades in the kitchen and baths. The kitchen is an ideal space for any chef thanks to new stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, double convection oven, and range hood. A generously sized den provides space for an office or media room, providing further versatility to this home. The outdoor area with heated pool and spacious screened lanai is the perfect location to relax amid a peaceful setting, lulled by the calming sounds of falling water flowing from the jetted spa shelf. Step outdoors to enjoy your private fenced yard enriched with lush greenery, where pets will enjoy plenty of space to roam. Additional features of this effervescent home include ample storage options and gracious closets with functional built-ins. There is a one-car garage, plus storage room that houses the laundry area, but can also be used as a workshop or craft room. Ideal for a cozy, primary residence, second home, or utilized as an excellent opportunity for a rental property, this home has an idyllic location in South Gate, less than 15 minutes to downtown Sarasota and Siesta Beach while experiencing a sense of community the neighborhood is known for.
