Description of Property
When location and value come together beautifully… Welcome to 2651 Leafy Lane — a sun-drenched, poolside sanctuary tucked in the heart of Sarasota’s highly sought-after South Gate neighborhood. This beautifully maintained mid-century classically Florida ranch home offers the perfect blend of timeless character and thoughtful modern updates, all set within a community known for its charm, convenience, and unbeatable lifestyle. Crafted with enduring quality, this concrete block residence spans 1,694 sq ft of air-conditioned living space and includes a private saltwater pool oasis, ideal for both quiet relaxation and vibrant entertaining. Immaculately cared for inside and out, the home reflects pride of ownership and features numerous improvements that not only enhance comfort but also promote long-term affordability. Enjoy peace of mind and lower insurance premiums thanks to a brand-new roof (October 2024), along with impact-rated front window and garage door. The home’s HVAC system was replaced in 2019, and the air-conditioned square footage includes the lanai and vented garage—providing flexible, functional space throughout. The open kitchen, remodeled in 2020, is a true centerpiece, showcasing cherry wood cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a dramatic stone tile backsplash. Stainless steel appliances—GE refrigerator, Samsung oven with matching hood, Frigidaire dishwasher, and a sleek microwave—combine practicality with style. Under-cabinet lighting operated by remote control adds warmth and ambiance, creating an inviting setting for everyday living or entertaining guests. Both bedrooms are generously proportioned, with the primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and a tastefully renovated en-suite bath, complete with a walk-in shower and stone-topped vanity. Additional home upgrades include updated plumbing fixtures and a whole-house water filtration system. Low maintenance and low cost home all around. Step outside to your own private retreat, where a sparkling saltwater pool with a 7-foot deep end beckons. The fully fenced backyard—refreshed in 2018—offers lush landscaping and is serviced by an irrigation system connected to a dedicated well, keeping your grounds beautiful while keeping costs low. With no HOA fees, no CDDs, and a location in a non-flood zone, this home offers significantly reduced monthly expenses. Notably, the home has sustained no storm damage, a testament to its solid construction and proactive maintenance. South Gate is more than just a neighborhood—it's a lifestyle. Residents enjoy walkable access to beloved local spots like Solorzano’s Pizza, authentic Mexican, quaint cafés, and boutique shopping; check out the cowboy boot store too! The optional South Gate Community Center and pool add even more value, though you'll likely prefer your own personal oasis right in your backyard. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a seasonal escape, or an income-generating Airbnb or rental, this home checks every box. Exceptional location, meticulous upkeep, and low ongoing costs make this a rare and valuable opportunity in one of Sarasota’s most desirable neighborhoods. Location. Condition. Value. This is South Gate living at its best.
