Tucked behind a lush hedge and wrapped in the charm of Old Florida, this beautifully transformed 1950s bungalow offers the serenity of a private hideaway blended with modern sophistication. From the moment you arrive, you'll sense the tranquility and seclusion this 3-bedroom, 2-bath pool home provides—a true sanctuary from the outside world. Step inside and discover a space that has been reimagined, where every element speaks of quiet luxury and comfort. The rich glow of luxury vinyl floors flows throughout, grounding the home in warmth and elegance. Carefully chosen wood doors with frosted glass add texture and refinement, while custom blinds and sleek ceiling fans carry the modern aesthetic effortlessly from room to room. Every detail has been curated with thought and intention—from heated towel racks to bidet-style toilets offering spa-like indulgence. The kitchen is a gleaming showcase of both function and style. A stunning stainless steel accent wall contrasts beautifully with the Fisher & Paykel pull-out dishwashers, a five-burner gas range, Italian range hood, and built-in KitchenAid microwave and oven. Every cabinet has pull-out drawers for seamless organization. This culinary space is perfect for both day-to-day living and joyful entertaining. The primary suite is a spacious retreat, featuring four closets—including a walk-in—and a split A/C system for personalized comfort. A retractable-mounted TV adds versatility, while the en suite bath is a study in sophistication with a shower/tub combo and a beautifully tiled ceiling. All infrastructure has been updated—from plumbing and electrical to a brand-new roof, new A/C unit, impact-rated windows, and commercial-grade impact doors. This home is not only visually captivating but also move-in ready with peace of mind built in. The backyard is where this home truly shines. Step into your own private Eden, with a rare round pool at its center. Decking extends toward a draped gazebo, where sheer curtains sway in the breeze. Magnificent garden beds and mature plantings wrap around the pool, leading to a second pavilion outfitted with a sink, fridge, built-in BBQ, and remote-controlled screens for added comfort. Surround sound flows through the garden, enhancing every alfresco gathering, swim, or quiet moment. Low-maintenance artificial turf keeps the grounds pristine, allowing the vibrant greenery to take center stage. Whether entertaining or enjoying downtime, you'll never want to leave. The front yard features a tranquil water feature and a wraparound deck leading to a shaded bench and sitting area. The natural barrier of hedges provides privacy from the street, echoing the quiet grace found throughout the property. This is not just a house—it's a retreat, a sanctuary, a daily escape into beauty and ease. Whether you're relaxing under the gazebo, preparing a meal in the gourmet kitchen, or simply enjoying the garden from your bedroom window, this home blends indoor luxury with outdoor splendor, making every day feel like a holiday. Located in the highly sought-after Southgate neighborhood, this property offers a coveted address in Sarasota, renowned for its central convenience and inclusion in the area's top-rated school district. Just a 10-minute drive to the world-famous white sands of Siesta Beach, and only about 8 minutes to vibrant downtown Sarasota, with dining, entertainment, and the popular Farmers Market.
