Rare Opportunity for Spacious Living Just Minutes from Downtown, Siesta Key, and I-75! Welcome to this exceptional property offering the perfect blend of space, privacy, and location. Situated on just under an acre of fully fenced land, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features flexible living spaces and unlimited possibilities. Enter through the remote-operated gate that securely encloses your land. A generous driveway, garage, and open space immediately greet you - bring your boats, RVs, and any other toys; there is plenty of parking space and no HOA. Following the gently sloping lawn, your eye is drawn to the west side of the property along which runs a meandering creek (a tributary of Phillippi Creek). Dotted throughout the property are some of the oldest and largest Live Oaks in Sarasota. A custom chicken coop allows you to enjoy farm fresh eggs everyday. On this estate-sized lot, you'll feel tucked away in your own private retreat "” all while being just 10 minutes from Siesta Key's world-famous beaches and 15 minutes from vibrant downtown Sarasota. Step inside and you'll find a beautifully appointed interior that lives larger than it seems. The home features newly installed floors, newly renovated bathrooms, and a new standing seam metal roof. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are aligned on one side of the home. On the other, public spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or working are arranged around the central kitchen featuring white cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless appliances. The thoughtfully designed layout offers plenty of flexibility, with spaces perfect for a home office, nursery, playroom, or creative studio. Outdoors, this property truly shines. From the patio adjoining the home, travel along the paved path to a charming gazebo with outdoor countertop perfect for your summer kitchen, creating an ideal setup for alfresco dining and entertaining. Further along the path is a detached shed which the current owners have transformed into a fabulous, fully conditioned space perfect for home office, hobby space, fitness studio, and storage. The backdrop to these structures is the broad, lush yard with hanging chairs suspended from the towering oak limbs offering endless potential "” whether you envision a garden, a pool, or simply a peaceful place to unwind, the acreage feels private and tranquil. Although the intact lot is spectacular, investors may find opportunities for subdividing the land and building multiple homes. It's uncommon to find a lot of this size in such a prime location. Perhaps more uncommon is the condition of the home. The lovely updates to the meticulously maintained property combine to offer a rare package of land and immediate livability. Insurance, utilities, and property tax carrying costs are surprisingly low. The home is outside of a flood zone and experienced no hurricane damage.
