Property Description

Welcome to a refined corner-lot home directly across from Arlington Park — one of Sarasota's most beloved neighborhood amenities. With 1,955 sqft of thoughtful living space, three bedrooms with walk-in closets, two updated baths, and a true 2-car garage, this property offers a combination that simply doesn't exist at this price point in the heart of the city. Every detail has been considered for Florida living. A 2022 metal roof with a 50-year warranty, two new Trane HVAC systems, impact-resistant windows, and a new water heater mean lower insurance, lower utilities, and no deferred maintenance. Located in evacuation Zone E and high and dry through every recent storm season, this is the rare home that lets you stop worrying about Florida ownership. Inside, character meets quality: stained solid wood doors, crown molding, hardwood bamboo flooring, a maple stairwell, and warm wooden ceilings. Walk out to a generous screened lanai, private hot tub, and lush tropical landscaping framed by palms, bamboo, and fruit trees. The fully fenced yard provides quiet privacy in a setting most Sarasota buyers only dream about. Step out your front door to Arlington Park's 50-meter lap pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, dog park, and walking trails. Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Southside Village dining, and downtown are all within minutes. Beaches at Siesta Key are a short drive away. Zoned for top-rated Southside Elementary (A-rated). A rare opportunity: turnkey, insurable, and irreplaceable location — directly across from the park.
