2451 Terry Ln Sarasota, FL 34231

Rarely does a fabulous villa such as this, in one of Sarasota's sweet hidden gem enclaves, come to market that are truly capable of boasting so many aspects of, "Location, location, Location." Just 0.3 mile down the sidewalk along Gateway Avenue leads you to all of the unique cafes & restaurants, specialty shops & boutiques, clubs & pubs, and more that Gulf Gate Village has to offer. Truly a desirable neighborhood, and extremely convenient as a major shopping center is even within reach. The gorgeous white quartz beaches of Siesta Key, frequently chosen as 1st or 2nd in the nation by Conde' Nast Traveler, is a mere 2.8 miles to Beach Access #12 or 3.2 miles to the Siesta Beach Pavilion in the heart of Crescent Beach. Noteworthy too is the highly sought-after school district of this residence, granting Gulf Gate Elementary and Riverview High School admission. Gulf Gate Manor has much to appreciate, besides its awesome location, such as its incredibly low maintenance fee of only $135/month that includes weekly lawn maintenance, twice yearly landscape trimming and a broad selection of cable TV. You may also bring your cherished pets, as there are no size or number restrictions. The no rental policy here affords owners in this darling community the peace of mind that comes with the stability of owner occupants, whether full time or seasonal, and neighbors that look out for one another. This beautiful villa has gleaming terrazzo floors that reflect the abundance of natural light bestowed throughout its open living areas and both bedrooms & baths. The spacious master bedroom has a nice size walk-in closet and en-suite bath with shower. The full guest bath down the hall, right next to the guest bedroom, includes a jetted walk-in bathtub/shower. Generous hall closets and a full wall of closet space in the guest bedroom add to the appeal. The kitchen is well laid-out with a window beyond the kitchen sink, and again plenty of storage with cabinets underneath both sides of the eat-in bar counter. Truly a wonderful space to entertain, the dining and living areas stretch the full width of the villa, measuring a solid 30 feet in length with double windows, and extra-wide pocketing sliders that open to the enclosed Florida Room. This wonderful light-filled space offers a door toward the rear of the property and gives a private space to relax and stretch out or do projects, such as the owner's pottery station. And for other projects, there's a stainless steel workbench and even a sink in the workshop / laundry room, just a few steps outside the kitchen door. A covered carport gives shade to your vehicle, and the fragrant gardenias and roses along the front walk welcome you as you're coming in or going out and about to explore all that Sarasota has to offer. Definitely a lovely place to call home!
