Open to the dining and living rooms, this kitchen is perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying everyday meals. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated to combine style and functionality. The primary bathroom includes double sinks, a combination tub and shower with beautiful wall tiles to the ceiling, and an oversized built-in shower bench. The second bathroom is thoughtfully designed with a barn door for privacy and deep built-in storage cabinets. Additional storage can be found in the hallway linen closet, a coat closet off the living room, and an indoor utility room ready for your washer and dryer. Recent updates have transformed this home into a modern retreat while preserving its mid-century charm. The original Terrazzo floors have been restored and are complemented by durable and stylish luxury vinyl plank and ceramic tile flooring for easy maintenance throughout the home. A new metal roof was installed in March 2024, and fresh exterior and interior paint, a newly epoxy-coated garage floor, new ceiling fans, and updated landscaping were all completed in late 2024. The vinyl fence, installed in May 2023, enhances the privacy of the outdoor space, while the new mailbox and house numbers add a polished finishing touch. This home's location offers no deed restrictions, unparalleled convenience, with easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment, as well as close proximity to the world-renowned beaches of Siesta Key. With modern updates, abundant natural light, and timeless appeal, this home is ready to welcome its next owner. 2015 HVAC, 2017 water heater, 2024 metal roof.
