Discover a hidden treasure in Granada, one of Sarasota’s distinguished West-of-the-Trail neighborhoods, offering a direct and scenic route to the world-renowned quartz sands of Siesta Key. This home serves as a sweet, quiet retreat, suited as a tranquil winter residence, a cozy year-round home or a savvy investment opportunity (within city limits) just minutes from the Gulf. Providing ultimate peace of mind, the residence features a newer roof, updated air-conditioning system and high-impact hurricane-rated windows. Here, you can enjoy a convenient lifestyle, near the Paradise Publix, artisanal treats at Bread Bandits and local charm of Shakespeare’s English Pub. As you enter onto the front porch beneath a pergola draped in flowering Queen’s Wreath vines, the interior reveals itself to be light and airy. Authentic Saltillo tile floors flow throughout the home, adding warmth and character. The heart of the residence is a remodeled, open-concept kitchen designed so you can remain part of the action while entertaining in the adjacent living room. The kitchen is complete with sleek quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, a breakfast bar, wood cabinetry and a spacious dining area framed by a large, picturesque window. The intelligently designed floor plan features two bedrooms and two full baths for maximum privacy. A separate laundry room, offering storage, is conveniently off the guest room, while the primary bedroom is an en-suite sanctuary on other side of the home. In back of the home, a sun-drenched family room offers a peaceful vantage point to watch cardinals and pileated woodpeckers dance among the branches. For those who prefer the outdoors, go onto the wooden deck and newer caged lanai to dine on a cool Florida evening, overlooking a lush garden filled with majestic live oaks and Florida-friendly flora. Currently, a music room with a baby grand piano, there is space for an office just off the family room. Whether you are catching a sunset on Siesta Key or exploring the vibrant museums and theaters of downtown Sarasota, this home has been meticulously loved for years and is ready to welcome its next owner.
