2 Beds 2 Baths Summerside SubDv. 34231 Zip Code A4692227 MLS Active Status Unit 25a BLDG.
Virtually Staged. Welcome to Summerside, a quiet, tree-canopied community tucked just minutes from the sugar-sand beaches of Siesta Key and the easy rhythm of Sarasota's Gulf Coast. This ground-level end unit is ready for some TLC, offered as-is as a blank canvas for the right buyer to renovate to their own taste. Being an end unit means no upstairs neighbor and no shared ceiling overhead, just a private, all-on-one-floor layout wrapped in mature tropical landscaping and swaying palms. For an investor looking to flip, craft a seasonal getaway, or add an income-producing rental to the portfolio, the bones, the layout, and above all the location make this one worth a close look. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings and a skylight pull natural light across an open living and dining space that flows toward a screened lanai out back. Tile runs through the main living areas, both bedrooms are laid in wood-look plank flooring, and the home lives larger than its two-bedroom, two-bath plan suggests. The kitchen sits at the heart of it all with generous cabinetry, a pass-through breakfast bar open to the gathering space, and a sliding door to one of two private, fenced outdoor retreats. The primary suite is its own corner of calm, complete with a walk-in closet, a private bath, and sliding-glass access to the screened lanai. The second bedroom shares that indoor-outdoor connection with a slider to its own fenced patio and a full bath close by. A dedicated interior laundry room and a covered front entry with a gated courtyard round out the everyday practicality. Beyond your doorstep, Summerside offers a sparkling community pool framed by a wide paver sun deck, plenty of lounge chairs, and a shaded pavilion tucked beneath grand oak trees, the kind of low-key gathering spot that makes a neighborhood feel like home. Assigned carport parking and a friendly, established setting round out the appeal. With a little vision and some finishing work, this retreat can become exactly what you imagine, all moments from Siesta Key's world-famous shoreline and within quick reach of Sarasota's dining, shopping, and signature Gulf Coast lifestyle. Bring your vision and make it your own. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER. INQUIRE FOR MORE DETAILS.**
