2722 Botany Ave, Sarasota, FL 34239

Welcome to 2722 Botany Avenue! It's not just a house on a street - it's a home, in a caring community! Slightly inland, this mid-century, concrete block home is located in the trending Southgate neighborhood and only 2 miles from "The Trail", and 4 miles beyond that... the powdery, sandy beaches of Siesta Key. From the moment you drive up, the billowing Jacaranda tree encircled by a lovely flower garden will catch your eye. Embraced by budding crape myrtles and willowy areca palms, the flowing ferns introduce you to the welcoming front door. You will be greeted by an open floor plan, and with a glance, your eye directs you to the backyard that will soon be in full bloom. A white, brick accent wall in the dining area provides a great backdrop for dinner conversation and complements the kitchen that is enhanced with pendant lights, quartz countertops and white cabinetry. A pantry is just in reach and extends into a laundry room that contains an abundance of interior storage. The spacious bedrooms are adorned with restful colors that allow for peaceful sleep at the end of a long day of work or play. You will be delighted with the sunroom which expands your living space where a beautiful world awaits. Whether you start the day with coffee or relax in the evening with your favorite beverage, you will observe bunnies, butterflies, birds and squirrels as they hop, flutter, fly and scamper in this lovely setting. Stepping outside is a wonderful, permeable patio and just beyond that the tree canopy provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining. The neighborhood is fantastic, the Downtown Arts District, Arlington Park and UTC are all within 15 minutes driving distance. The Legacy Trail extension is a quick bike ride away, and you can walk to "Restaurant Row" at Beneva/Webber; dining choices galore! This home has the unique advantage of being on one of the few streets with underground electrical installed by the local utility company. With a lot almost 1/4 acre, there is plenty of room to expand and/or add a pool. Or, join the Southgate community association for a nominal fee and pool access is just minutes away! Whether you are relocating, looking for a first home, buying a vacation get-a-way, or increasing your rental portfolio, this home is a gem. Make your appointment to see 2722 Botany Avenue today!
