Exceptional location, extensive updates, and a private pool combine to make this Phillippi Gardens home a standout opportunity. Just minutes from Siesta Key Beach, downtown Sarasota, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this property offers the ideal balance of accessibility and comfort. The costly improvements have already been completed, providing years of peace of mind. Triple-pane PGT impact-rated windows and a sliding glass door installed in 2018 deliver storm protection, energy efficiency, and potential insurance savings. The home's plumbing system was fully re-piped with PVC in 2018, and the septic system was replaced and connected to city sewer the same year-a rare and valuable upgrade. Additional improvements include a newer A/C system (2023), new water heater (2026), fresh interior and exterior paint (2026), updated flooring, and a newer screened pool enclosure. Inside, the thoughtfully designed three-bedroom, two-bath floor plan offers open living spaces that flow seamlessly from room to room, creating an inviting environment for both daily living and entertaining. Large windows and sliding glass doors bring in natural light while providing views of the outdoor living area. Step outside to a spacious screened lanai and pool area that serves as a private retreat for relaxing, dining, or gathering with family and friends. The generously sized backyard provides additional outdoor space with room to enjoy Florida's year-round sunshine. With no deed restrictions, a desirable school district, and major system upgrades already completed, this move-in-ready home offers exceptional value in one of Sarasota's most convenient locations.
