Virtually Staged. Welcome to the highly desirable Southgate community, where mature tree-lined streets, oversized homesites, and a true neighborhood atmosphere create one of Sarasota’s most sought-after in-town locations. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated, this rare 5-bedroom home with an oversized bonus room offers a unique opportunity to own one of the larger and more flexible floor plans available in central Sarasota. Surrounded by intentional Florida-friendly landscaping and offering exceptional privacy in both the front and rear yards, this property combines substantial living space, major system upgrades, and an unbeatable location on a quiet dead-end street. Inside, you’ll find over 2,300 square feet of living space with multiple gathering areas designed for today’s lifestyle. Porcelain tile flooring flows throughout the main living areas, while real wood flooring adds warmth and character upstairs. Large hurricane-rated windows fill the home with natural light and provide peaceful views of the surrounding greenery. The expansive living and family rooms create flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor, providing a highly desirable layout for comfort and accessibility. All bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled with modern finishes and thoughtful design. One of the home’s standout features is the oversized bonus room with direct access to both the garage and the expansive screened lanai. This versatile space can easily serve as a home office, media room, fitness room, playroom, hobby space, or additional family room, offering flexibility rarely found in this area. Major improvements provide peace of mind, including a roof that is only one year old, an upgraded electrical panel, complete re-plumbing with new pipes throughout the home, hurricane-rated windows, and a resurfaced garage floor. Step outside to the oversized screened lanai that spans nearly the entire rear of the home, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings and view. The carefully designed Florida-native landscaping attracts birds and wildlife while enhancing privacy and curb appeal. Southgate offers optional HOA membership with access to the community pool and recreation facilities, along with deed restrictions that help maintain neighborhood standards and property values without being overly restrictive. Plus a true community atmosphere with friendly neighbors and lots of holiday parties and community events. The location is exceptional. Situated in the heart of Sarasota, you are just minutes from Siesta Key Beach, Downtown Sarasota and its vibrant waterfront, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Southside Village, Selby Gardens, Selby Public Library, Sarasota Art Museum, and countless dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. Enjoy a short walk to Arlington Park and its Olympic-sized pool, playground, and tennis courts. Families will appreciate the highly regarded and A-Rated Southside Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High School. Rarely do homes offer this combination of space, flexibility, privacy, major updates, and central Sarasota convenience.
