For Sale - Active
1 Units

Welcome to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence in the highly desirable Arlington Park neighborhood. Offering no HOA and a spacious 1,100 sq. ft. paver driveway, there’s plenty of room for additional vehicles, recreational toys, or even a boat. Step inside and you’ll find 1,297 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space featuring porcelain tile flooring throughout. The modern European-inspired kitchen is equipped with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and new stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator and dishwasher. The bedrooms feature sleek sliding glass closet doors and provide ample storage, while the bathroom has been completely renovated with a tiled walk-in shower, a double vanity, and contemporary lighting. A private side entrance leads into a versatile drop zone area, perfect for daily essentials or coats and bags. The laundry is tucked away behind a sliding barn door, and this space also offers the option to convert into a second bathroom if desired. The fenced backyard is designed for outdoor living and relaxation, complete with a 200 sq. ft. paver patio, fresh sod, and a new irrigation system to keep the lawn lush year-round. The spacious lot also offers plenty of room to add a pool while maintaining privacy and open green space. Recent updates include a new roof installed in 2018, a flat roof replacement in November 2023, thermal insulated windows, and storm shutters for added peace of mind. Located within Sarasota city limits, this property is eligible for use as a vacation rental, making it an excellent opportunity for both homeowners and investors. Residents of Arlington Park enjoy access to outstanding amenities, including lap and instructional pools, basketball and tennis courts, a playground, outdoor fitness gym, walking trails, and a dog park. All this, just three blocks from Sarasota Memorial Hospital and only minutes from Downtown Sarasota, Marie Selby Gardens, St. Armands Circle, Siesta Key, and Lido Key.
