Property Description
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Welcome to this charming South Gate pool home, ideally situated on a quiet street just minutes from Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Downtown Sarasota, shopping, dining, schools and world-famous Siesta Key Beach. Set on a generous quarter-acre lot, this property offers a wonderful combination of location, privacy, character and Florida outdoor living with plenty of opportunity to make it your own. The true showstopper is the private backyard tropical oasis, surrounded by lush mature landscaping and mango trees. At the heart of the outdoor space is a stunning free-form saltwater pool, renovated in 2015, surrounded by an expansive travertine pool deck perfect for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the Florida sunshine year-round. The fully fenced backyard provides exceptional privacy and plenty of room for gatherings, gardening or simply unwinding in your own tropical retreat. Inside the home is filled with character and distinctive architectural details. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling Coral Keystone wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, while beautifully restored terrazzo flooring flows through the living room, dining room, kitchen and hallways. All three bedrooms feature warm wood flooring. The kitchen offers solid-surface countertops, stainless steel appliances, a skylight and a charming garden window overlooking the courtyard entry and established herb garden. Additional features include thermal-pane windows, two tankless water heaters and a convenient interior laundry room. The second bathroom, added in 2017, features an interior sink and toilet and also functions as a convenient pool bath with an outdoor shower. The third bedroom currently does not have a closet but can easily be converted back, offering flexibility for use as a bedroom, home office or den. An oversized two-car garage provides excellent storage and includes a dedicated 7' x 7' workshop area. Additional improvements include a full reroof in 2017, AC replacement in 2024, new 4-inch PVC sewer piping from the home to the Air Vac tap and fresh interior paint in the living room, dining room and kitchen. With its generous lot, established tropical setting, private saltwater pool and highly desirable South Gate location, this home offers something increasingly difficult to find, a property that can be enjoyed today while still providing the opportunity to update and make it uniquely your own. Whether you're relaxing poolside beneath the mature landscaping, entertaining friends in the expansive backyard or enjoying convenient access to Sarasota's beaches, downtown and everyday amenities, 3536 Jaffa Drive is ready for its next chapter.
