With four bedrooms, some of which can be configured to other uses, and 4 full baths, this home is made for entertaining.

The house itself has been continuously updated from 2017 2024.

Tucked away at the end of cul de sac in Phillippi Gardens, the location is ideal, While the neighbor is private and quiet, it is close to The Landings and other shopping and eatery venues, a short bike ride to Gulf beaches, and not far from the vibrant downtown of Sarasota and all its cultural and recreational offerings.
