Under contract-accepting backup offers. This is a charming Gulf Gate pool home that has been owned and enjoyed by a wonderful couple for 32 years. It's now ready for the next owner to update, and make it their own. It has been freshly painted, newer windows installed in 2013, and hot water heater in 2014. A screened entryway welcomes you into the home. The floor plan is open and free flowing. The kitchen might be small, but very efficient, and the large window floods it with natural light for a cheerful feeling. Three sets of sliding glass doors lead out to a caged pool area. The 9'X25' covered lanai make it perfect for entertaining and help add living space to a small home. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, the location of this Gulf Gate home is perfect for those that want to be tucked away, but still close to everything wonderful about Sarasota. It's close to the Gulf Gate shops and restaurants, Gulf Gate Library, Costco. About 4 miles away are the world class Siesta Key beaches with sand that is 99% quartz, so cool underfoot. Downtown Sarasota is about 7 miles away with shops, fine dining, live theaters, the Opera and Ballet.
