HIGHEST & BEST BY 5:00 PM 1/18/2026 Pride of ownership is immediately evident in this impeccably maintained 1970s single-family residence on an over-sized lot, gracefully situated in the sought-after Sarasota Springs area and cherished by the same family since its construction. Thoughtfully upgraded throughout, this three-bedroom, two-bath home blends timeless character with modern sophistication and includes an oversized one-car garage with dedicated work area, along with a private in-law suite. The main residence showcases a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry with elegant under-cabinet lighting, updated plumbing, and a suite of appliances-perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Rich original pristine hardwood floors, "never" sanded or refinished, add warmth and authenticity, complemented by laminate and tile in select areas. Significant capital improvements provide peace of mind and long-term value, including a newer roof (2023) with rain gutters and gutter guards, Low-E impact windows, upgraded 200-amp electrical service with generator hook-up (2025), newer HVAC system and water heater, and a fully replaced driveway (2024) with enhanced front-yard culvert drainage. Covered screened patio with pull down vinyl windows. Additional storm protection includes hurricane fabric for patio french doors and hurricane panels for the garage side entry door. Plus so many more improvements throughout this home. The private in-law suite is a standout feature, offering its own entrance, full kitchen, expansive living area, mini-split air conditioning, PGT impact windows, covered parking, and a back patio. This home is ideal for multi-generational living, hosting guests, or private accommodations. The generously sized backyard is fully fenced with vinyl and chain-link fencing and includes a partially insulated shed, presenting endless possibilities for a studio, “she shed,” or "man cave" with minimal customization. This exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully curated home where quality craftsmanship, thoughtful upgrades, and enduring elegance come together seamlessly.
