Under contract-accepting backup offers. Conveniently located with great access to amenities and attractively priced! This delightful Key West-style home, built in 1997, combines vintage charm with modern convenience in the highly sought-after Gillespie/Rosemary neighborhood of downtown Sarasota.

Step inside and be greeted by solid hardwood floors, adding a touch of warmth and elegance. The main floor boasts a generously sized dining room and a kitchen equipped with modern stainless steel appliances and beautifully tiled surfaces, perfect for both everyday meals and entertaining guests. A private back patio provides the ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation.Upstairs, the two bedrooms offer privacy and comfort. The primary bedroom has been thoughtfully renovated and expanded, featuring an en suite bath with a tiled walk-in shower, double sinks, and a luxurious feel. The second bedroom includes a full bath, a walk-in closet, and access to an open-air balcony where you can enjoy Sarasota’s tropical breezes. Practical upgrades, including a new HVAC system installed in 2022, ensure modern comfort. A tandem carport for two vehicles or a boat/RV adds versatility, making this home suitable for both full-time residents and those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle.
