I M M A C U L A T E South Gate home, with proximity to everything you want! Southside Elementary school district and the fabulous Southside shopping area! Quick access to Siesta Key (via north bridge) and to downtown. So enough about location, location, location! This block construction 1960s house with mid-century breeze block carport is waiting for YOU! With so much outdoor living space, you will have the opportunity to maximize your experience of WHY so many people come here in the winter! Never mind the glorious updates, including stone counters and subway tile in the kitchen, and porcelain tile floors throughout; never mind the open floor plan that can be as intimate or full of friends as you want ... step out through the glass doors into the super large lanai with its haint blue ceiling. Then step out onto the expansive patio area outside the lanai! Prepare your meals using the outdoor kitchen with its gas grill, full sized refrigerator, granite counters and sink with running hot and cold water! You'll never want to cook indoors again! Lounge by the heated pool with salt filtration system on the lanai, in the shade of mature white birds of paradise and traveler palms, with plenty of peace within the 6' privacy fence. Note how generously sized the pool is! Indoors, the atmosphere is relaxing and inviting with fresh, modern updates including lighting. Optional membership in the South Gate Community Association is available, with its outdoor pool and Sarasota School of Modern Architecture Victor Lundy Community Center on 5 acres of parkland along the banks of Philippi Creek.
