Property Description


0.26 Acres Lot
Built in 1972
For Sale - Active
1 Units

Nestled at the end of a quiet dead-end street just five minutes from downtown Sarasota, this freshly updated 3-bedroom pool home offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and convenience. Set on over a quarter-acre lot, the massive fenced-in backyard is a true retreat—featuring a huge in-ground pool, plenty of room to play or entertain, and dedicated parking for your RV, boat, or extra vehicles. The open floor plan connects the living, dining, and kitchen spaces, creating a light-filled layout ideal for gatherings and everyday living. Luxury vinyl plank flooring has just been installed in the bedrooms, and a brand-new roof was completed in July 2025 for added peace of mind. The backyard also includes two versatile bonus structures—an air conditioned she-shed and an open air man cave—that offer creative space, extra storage, or the perfect home office. Located in an Opportunity Zone, this home presents an exceptional investment opportunity. Enjoy the nearby amenities of Payne Park, top-rated dining, and world-class beaches like Siesta Key, just 15 minutes away. Whether you're looking for a forever home, a seasonal escape, or a smart rental property, 942 Tarpon Avenue delivers space, flexibility, and location with no HOA and no rental restrictions.
