3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ South Gate SubDv. ⋅ 34239 Zip Code
Welcome to South Gate, where oak-canopied streets, a short walk to Arlington Park, and a quick drive to downtown, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and Siesta Key make everyday life easier. This 1956 stone-front ranch delivers what buyers in this neighborhood look for and rarely find together, original mid-century character, a private heated saltwater pool, three bedrooms and two baths plus a dedicated office, and impact windows and storm shutters for peace of mind every season. From the herringbone brick paver drive to the fresh tropical landscaping, the home makes a strong first impression. Inside, original terrazzo floors run through the living areas and bedrooms, the kind of authentic 1950s detail that is increasingly hard to find. The living room centers on a painted Ocala block feature wall and a full wall of built-in cabinetry and shelving with an integrated desk, giving you real storage and a place for everything. Oversized front windows keep the room bright, and the adjoining dining room looks directly out at the pool’s rock waterfall. The kitchen is where this home earns its keep. Solid cherry cabinetry with glass-front uppers, stone counters, a stainless tile backsplash, a chimney-style hood, a built-in wall oven and microwave, and updated stainless steel appliances give a serious cook everything they need. The long curved island with a prep sink seats a crowd, so guests stay part of the conversation while you cook. Slate floors carry into a breakfast nook where French doors open to the screened lanai, making it easy to move a gathering outside. The primary suite offers two closets and an updated bath featuring a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with a built-in bench, river pebble floor, and pebble accent niche. Two guest bedrooms share a modern hall bath with a double vanity. The office sits on the opposite side of the home from the bedrooms with its own door to the pool deck, so working from home stays quiet and feels like a break, and it converts easily to a guest room when family visits. Select furnishings are available with the sale, so the home can be ready to enjoy from the day you move in. The backyard is designed for the way Sarasota is meant to be lived. Relax in the screened lanai with its natural stone wall and ceiling fan, then step out to a fully fenced yard wrapped in mature palms and tropical plantings that create genuine privacy. A freeform heated saltwater pool with stone coping and a cascading rock waterfall is ready for evening swims year round, and low-maintenance turf means your weekends go to enjoying the yard, not mowing it. A patio dining area and two-car garage round out the home. With a voluntary neighborhood association instead of a mandatory HOA, and zoning for Southside Elementary and Sarasota High School, this is a South Gate home that works for how you live now and for years ahead. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
