Looking for a peaceful Florida home that feels tucked away, yet keeps you minutes from world-famous beaches, shopping, and downtown Sarasota? This charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence sits quietly on a cul-de-sac in a small, friendly neighborhood where neighbors wave, HOA fees stay low, and there’s no CDD to worry about.
Inside, the open floor plan offers 1,517 square feet of heated living space designed for easy, everyday living. Natural light flows through the living and dining areas, creating a warm, welcoming feel that works just as well for relaxed mornings as it does for hosting friends. The large kitchen provides generous counter space, ample cabinetry, and a layout that keeps you connected to the main living areas. A dedicated laundry room with built-in cabinets adds everyday convenience and extra storage.
Both bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned for privacy, with the primary suite featuring a Jacuzzi-brand soaking tub, an electric ceiling heater for cozy baths, and a spa-like feel. The second bathroom has been refreshed with new ceramic tile, making it stylish and low-maintenance.
Step outside to a beautiful rear deck, ideal for morning coffee, evening wine, or simply enjoying Florida’s year-round sunshine. The front yard is enhanced with lovely landscaping, an irrigation system, and a private mailbox, adding curb appeal and ease of ownership. Just steps away, a tranquil pond with a bench offers a peaceful spot to unwind and enjoy the neighborhood’s calm atmosphere.
This home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated. Major improvements include a re-roof in 2021, new plumbing in 2021, new ductwork in 2019, and impact-rated protection on the front and side of the home. A whole-house water filtration system provides clean, great-tasting drinking water straight from the tap, eliminating the need for bottled water and maintained annually for peace of mind. Additional highlights include a 62-gallon hot water heater, and a five-year-old refrigerator.
With a documented history of no flooding, a two-car garage, low HOA fees, and proximity to Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach, and Anna Maria Island, this home offers a rare combination of comfort, value, and location. Whether you’re a full-time resident, seasonal buyer, or downsizing, seeking low-maintenance Florida living, this is a home that simply makes life easier.
