This Gulf Gate area home sits in one of the most convenient pockets of Sarasota—close to the beaches, steps from everyday essentials, and surrounded by the kind of local spots people move here for. The house has a new roof (2025), fresh paint, and is truly move-in ready. With no deed restrictions and a designated spot to park a motorhome, it also offers the kind of flexibility that’s getting harder to find this close to Siesta. It’s an easy fit for a short-term rental, thanks to its location, private circular pool, fenced backyard, and quiet street with no through traffic. Inside, the layout is simple and functional with an open living, dining, and kitchen area that makes the home feel larger than it is. Three bedrooms and one full bath run off the main hallway, and there’s a bonus room off the kitchen that works well as an office, small gym, or flex space. Out back, the screened patio looks out to a classic round pool and a fully fenced yard—private, shaded, and easy to enjoy. There’s also a backyard shed for beach gear, bikes, tools, and everything else. The location is tough to beat. Detwiler’s is right around the corner. The Gateway/Superior Ave. district—with its casual restaurants, local businesses, and nightlife—is just a quick walk or bike ride away. You’re close to Siesta Key’s beaches, and the upcoming Siesta Promenade will eventually add even more shopping and dining to the area. If you want a move-in ready home in a strong beach-area location—whether for personal use, rental income, or both—this one is ready to go.
