This two bedroom, two bathroom villa located in the Gulf Gate area of Sarasota has much to offer. A nicely maintained unit with its clerestory windows that draw light into both the living room and primary bedroom provides a comfortable living space. The air conditioned lanai adjacent to the living room offers an extra reading/craft/hang out area. Impact resistant windows featured. Updated Electric Panel in 2022. The kitchen with its stone counters and wood cabinets opens onto the living and dining areas making it easy to entertain guests. The private patio just off the primary bedroom affords additional outdoor living space and is just steps away from the heated community pool. This friendly community of only 80 units is nestled among a vast canopy of oak trees that make it a park-like setting and provide an “old Florida” ambience. The community’s tennis court can be quickly turned into two Pickleball courts for resident enthusiasts of this fast-growing sport. All amenities are within a short drive, many just 20-30 minutes away: parks, downtown Sarasota, Main St. Venice, Spanish Point, museums, Selby Gardens, St. Armand’s Circle, restaurants, shopping, the UTC Mall, and theaters. In addition, the up and coming main entertainment area of Gulf Gate with its restaurants and various other venues are a very short drive away. Fancy a ride on the Legacy Trail? You can get to the McIntosh entrance in just a quick bike ride. Best of all it’s only a 3.5 mile drive to the world famous Siesta Key Beach via the south bridge.
