A mix of urban and rural, this three bedroom Gulf Gate home has been meticulously maintained and updated from bottom to top. Located just 1.5 miles to Siesta Key and steps to Gulf Gate restaurants and shopping, convenience is king! The three bedrooms have tons of light and are perfectly set up for your guests. The oversized lot has a private backyard that backs a natural area where a pair of bald eagles frequent. Garden all year long and store your tools in the garden shed or view nature from the re-screened lanai. Full hurricane shutters and a strapped roof are qualifiers for insurance discounts. Many updates: Roof is re-shingled 2023, vinyl plank flooring throughout (over blue gray terrazzo floors), fresh paint inside and out, new electric panel box 2021 and new a/c unit 2018. The spacious kitchen features a large pantry with pullout shelves, soft-close drawers, oversized sink, and new Samsung Bespoke stainless steel Smart appliances with many bells and whistles. Just off the dining area you’ll find the indoor laundry room, abundant beachy cabinets, and hot water heater. Vinyl clad windows have new blinds. LED lighting throughout. The water supply lines were recently repiped and the drain pipes have been replaced and/or re-lined with new PVC piping! Want to shower off the sand from the beach? Hot and cold pipes for an outdoor shower are waiting for your fixtures. New concrete driveway and drip irrigation system. Lastly, this home is a great investment opportunity for short-term 30 day rentals or long-term annual rentals because of its ideal location close to shopping, the beach and A+ school district. This property has it all!
