Cool Listings Now - Under $2 million

Highlighting cool luxury properties in our market has become a regular thing for us (and we know you love it too!), but we decided to take a break this month and share something else. Our market has its fair share of luxury but that is not all Sarasota does and frankly, those are not the homes in which most of us are going to live! So we decided to highlight this month some amazing listings that are on the more affordable side. (In post-COVID Sarasota, that term is relative. 🙃) Let's take a closer look...

$1M and under

2409 Tulip Street | South Gate

3 bedrooms
2 bathrooms
1783 sq'
Built in 1963
Fully fenced yard, recently renovated home
Listed for $819,990

We love South Gate for some many reasons. In addition to its absolutely fantastic central location, just minutes from downtown, the north bridge to Siesta, the Legacy Trail and so much more, we love the character of this neighborhood. The streets are lined with a wide variety of homes, from quaint mid-century bungalows to cool architectural homes, you never get bored taking a walk through South Gate. This one is adorable: it has recently renovated to bring a boatload of modern conveniences and stylistic choices into the home, bringing some contemporary charm to the 1963 bones. Additionally, we are gaga for the spacious backyard, which is perfect for letting the pups roam away breezy afternoons!

8528 Woodbriar Drive | Deer Creek

3 bedrooms
2 bathrooms
2568 sq'
Built in 1992
Fully updated pool home in a great neighborhood
Listed for $899,000

Deer Creek is one of the earliest Palmer Ranch neighborhoods and has remained one of the most beloved. Tall trees shade the meandering streets lined with mature vegetation, each home boasting tidy curb appeal. Behind its gates lies truly one of our favorite neighborhoods to drive through. This home on Woodbriar Drive sits on a very private yard, bordered by preserve. The home is fully renovated to modern standards with great features like variegated flooring, sparkling light fixtures, and gleaming kitchen & baths. Outside, the pool deck has been recently redone with pavers and a summer kitchen, a private haven for ending a day in the sun.

2390 Bay Street | Alta Vista

3 bedrooms
3 bathrooms
1759 sq'
Built in 2018
Listed for $1 million

A beacon of contemporary design from the approach all the way out to the backyard, this stunning 21st century home sparkles. We particularly love the bold color selection married with the sleek and simple design features, the high ceilings that make this space feel so light & bright, and the mini-oasis on the back lanai. To be honest, it was hard to pick just four photos of this cool place, so if you are on the market, let's get in there in person!

$1M - $1.8M

1780 Southwood Street | West of Trail

3 bedrooms
2.5 bathrooms
1925 sq'
Built in 2020
Listed for $1,099,000

This home sits minutes from Siesta's south bridge and is walkable to Phillippi Estate Park, where there is a weekly farmer's market, playground, plenty of greenspace, and a boatwatching vista over the canal. Built in 2020, this home offers the contemporary life of leisure everyone is looking for when they move to Sarasota: wide open interior spaces perfect for entertaining, a sparkling pool with plenty of space for sunbathing, and a tropical setting your northern friends will be green with envy over. Getting West of Trail for around this price point in 2024 is pretty rare, especially in a stunning newer home!

5357 Siesta Court | Siesta Cove

3 bedrooms
2.5 bathrooms
3000 sq'
Built in 1979
Listed at $1,800,000

Just a half a mile from the white sands of Siesta Key Beach, this home on the key has the feel of upscale old Florida with a touch of modern flair. The huge pool is inside a fully screened lanai, so don't worry about those mosquitos while you soak up the sun or take a swim. Inside, this two story home has a contemporary, open interior with a balcony overlooking the lower level with the perfect work-from-home space. On cooler nights, you'll enjoy the wood-burning fireplace in the living room, a rare luxury in a Florida home. This home is all about the lifestyle it offers: jog to the beach or take a leisurely stroll to the Siesta nightlife, or just simply enjoy the view - inside and out - of this beautiful Siesta home.
