Description

Your imagination is calling…. This charming retro 2-bedroom and 2- bathroom home is located in the desirable Gulf Gate area and would be perfect for snow birds or locals. The home offers a separate living room, dining room and Florida room as well as a master bed with full bath, and a shared bath for the second bedroom and visitors. It’s rare to find a 2-car attached garage with a workshop, over sized lot with a small creek behind and an inside laundry room. Paver brick driveway and entry. The Gulf Gate area offers restaurants, shopping and is just short drive to the world-famous Siesta Key and her beaches. This is the perfect home for someone who can envision the possibilities (or really loves retro!) and is looking for a second home, investment property or downsizing.

    "Palmer Ranch is a geographic area in Sarasota with many small communities within. Golf communities are Prestancia, Stoneybrook and The Oaks Golf and Country Clubs. Costco and the Sarasota Square Westfield Mall are great places to shop. Call me for info about homes and condos available for sale in neighborhoods like Turtle Rock and Silver Oak. There are several access points to the Rails to Trails Legacy trail which spans miles for cyclist and runners and lead to the beach in Venice FL. "
