This updated home is large enough to accommodate the whole family! Complete with freshly painted exterior (2019) and new gutters and soffits (2018), the 3 bedroom and 2 bath main house has an open plan with new double-paned windows (2017) and newer ceramic tile floors. The attached garage was converted in 2013/14 to a wonderful 1 bedroom/1 bath suite with separate entrance. Other upgrades to the main house include renovated kitchen (2008) with granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, wood cabinets, stainless appliances, and breakfast bar with pendant lights; redone master bath (2010) with dual sinks, Jacuzzi tub/shower, and lighting and design touches; AC with UV light and ductwork (2016/17); and Electrolux washer and dryer (2013). In the in-law apartment, everything was redesigned into an open living room/kitchenette, and spacious bedroom with en-suite bath, with new windows and faux wood ceramic floors throughout, and all Ikea-inspired cabinets, sinks, bath vanity and 2x7 bedroom wardrobe. Situated on an oversized lot with vinyl and chain link fencing, and with palms mixed in with jasmine, mulberry, star fruit and guava trees, the house opens onto the private backyard which is an oasis for outdoor activities featuring a lanai with canvas and rattan Gazebo (2017), fire pit, tool shed (2014), and separately fenced dog run. This home is convenient to shopping, dining, UTC mall, downtown Sarasota with its cultural events, and only 15 minutes to St. Armands Circle and the sands of Lido Beach.
