About this home

BUYER'S CONTRACT FELL THROUGH. So, back on the market. What a great opportunity! Live where mornings begin with coffee on the wide front porch beneath mature live oaks and evenings end with a swim in your own heated pool and spa, added by the current owner to elevate Florida living. Completely renovated down to the studs in 2021, this move-in-ready, three-bedroom, three-bath Arlington Park pool home with dedicated office, den/sunroom and bonus room blends timeless mid-century charm with modern systems and design. Major upgrades include a 2021 metal roof, newer plumbing, newer electrical wiring and panel, hurricane-rated windows, hurricane-rated garage door, LED lighting and hand-scraped engineered hardwood floors throughout, delivering both beauty and long-term peace of mind. Walls were thoughtfully opened to create bright, flowing living spaces anchored by a stunning Quartzite kitchen featuring an oversized island with seating, solid wood soft-close cabinetry, stainless KitchenAid appliances including under-counter microwave, full-height subway tile backsplash, ample pantry storage, and a built-in Quartzite-topped buffet with glass-front cabinetry and wine refrigerator in the dining area. The spacious living room and adjoining den/sunroom connect seamlessly to the private, fully fenced backyard oasis with multiple seating areas and professional landscaping. The owner’s suite offers a peaceful retreat with spa-style bath, Quartzite counters, glass-enclosed shower and private outdoor lounging deck, while two generously sized guest bedrooms, one ensuite, and two additional fully reimagined baths provide comfort and flexibility. A custom office with Quartzite and wood built-ins supports work-from-home ease, and the large bonus room is ideal for a gym, media room, or play space. Perfectly positioned on a prominent corner lot with circular driveway and side-entry two-car garage, this home is a short distance from Arlington Park and Aquatic Complex featuring a 50-meter lap pool, fitness center, indoor gymnasium, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, playground, dog park and scenic walking trails, and is minutes to Downtown Sarasota’s restaurants, arts and waterfront, Southside Village shopping and dining, Sarasota Memorial Hospital and the world-famous beaches of Siesta Key. For buyers searching for a fully renovated Arlington Park pool home in Sarasota with modern upgrades, walkability and unbeatable proximity to parks, downtown and beaches, look no further....
