Whether you're escaping the cold for a week, a month or an extended winter stay, this spacious and beautifully updated Sarasota home gives you the comfort and convenience of a real home while putting you approximately 15 minutes from Siesta Key, with easy access to shopping, restaurants, entertainment and everything the Sarasota area has to offer.

The home features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms in the main house, plus a private mother-in-law suite that serves as a fourth sleeping room and bonus game room. You'll also enjoy a gourmet kitchen with brand-new appliances, luxury rainfall showers, a Sleep Number adjustable bed in the primary suite, flat-screen TVs throughout, a huge 75-inch TV in the living room, a fireplace, high-speed Wi-Fi and plenty of room for everyone to relax.

It's an ideal Sarasota home base for families, couples traveling together, multigenerational vacations and extended winter stays.

A COMFORTABLE PRIMARY SUITE

After a day at the beach or exploring Sarasota, retreat to a spacious primary bedroom designed for comfort and relaxation.

The primary suite features a Sleep Number adjustable bed, allowing you to customize your sleeping comfort during your stay. There's also a flat-screen TV so you can relax in bed with your favorite movie or show.

The primary bedroom has its own private ensuite bathroom featuring a beautifully updated luxury shower with a rainfall showerhead and convenient handheld shower wand.

THREE BEDROOMS IN THE MAIN HOUSE

In addition to the primary suite, the main house offers two additional bedrooms, giving families and groups plenty of comfortable sleeping space.

Each of the three main-house bedrooms features its own flat-screen TV, so guests can relax and enjoy their own entertainment without everyone having to gather around the same television.

The home's second full bathroom has also been beautifully updated and features the same luxurious rainfall shower and handheld shower combination.

A GOURMET KITCHEN MADE FOR GATHERING

At the heart of the home is a large, beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen.

An oversized granite countertop provides plenty of room for preparing meals, serving breakfast, sharing appetizers or simply gathering together over coffee and conversation.

The kitchen features brand-new, state-of-the-art appliances, including an induction range and oven, full-size refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher.

It's also fully equipped with everything you'll need to feel at home, including cookware, dishes, glasses, utensils, a blender, toaster and coffee maker.

Whether you're preparing breakfast before heading to Siesta Key, cooking a family dinner or settling in for an extended winter stay, you'll have the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen rather than having to dine out for every meal.

Of course, with so many Sarasota restaurants nearby, you'll have plenty of choices when you do want someone else to do the cooking.

RELAX AND UNWIND

The spacious living room gives everyone a comfortable place to come together.

Settle in for movie night or catch your favorite show or sporting event on the impressive 75-inch flat-screen TV.

The fireplace adds a warm, inviting atmosphere to the room and makes it an especially comfortable place to unwind in the evening.

With multiple bedrooms, the bonus suite and several entertainment spaces throughout the house, everyone can spend time together while still having plenty of room to spread out.

A PRIVATE BONUS SUITE AND FOURTH SLEEPING ROOM

One of the home's most useful features is the additional mother-in-law suite.

This private bonus space serves as the home's fourth sleeping room as well as a game room, making it especially convenient for families and multigenerational vacations.

The suite has its own private entrance and includes a queen bed, flat-screen TV, small dining area, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and baker's rack.

It's an ideal space for grandparents, another couple, older children or anyone traveling with your group who appreciates having a little additional privacy while still being part of the same home.

For families traveling with children, the bonus game-room space gives them another place to hang out and have fun without taking over the main living room.

A FANTASTIC CENTRAL SARASOTA LOCATION

One of the biggest advantages of this home is its convenient central Sarasota location.

Located just off Bee Ridge Road near Cattlemen Road and I-75, the home provides easy access to Sarasota's beaches, shopping, restaurants, entertainment, medical facilities and attractions.

For guests driving to Sarasota from either the north or south, nearby I-75 makes getting to and from the house especially convenient.

Doctors Hospital of Sarasota is right around the corner, making the home a convenient choice for visiting medical professionals, families visiting loved ones or anyone who needs to be close to the hospital.

You'll also have groceries, restaurants, shopping, fitness and everyday necessities close by.

Nearby conveniences include Publix, Starbucks, Panera Bread, Miller's Ale House, Walmart, Burlington, Home Depot, LA Fitness and numerous other stores, restaurants and services.

You can spend your vacation enjoying Sarasota rather than driving long distances every time you need groceries, coffee or dinner.

EASY ACCESS TO SIESTA KEY — APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AWAY

One of the best things about this location is how easy it is to enjoy one of Sarasota's greatest attractions: Siesta Key.

The home is approximately a 15-minute drive from Siesta Key under normal traffic conditions. Simply head west toward Tamiami Trail and Stickney Point Road, which takes you directly over the bridge and onto Siesta Key.

That means you can enjoy the convenience and space of a private home without giving up easy access to the beach.

Spend the morning walking along Siesta Key's famous white-sand beaches, relax beside the beautiful waters of the Gulf, explore the Key, enjoy lunch or dinner near the water, or stay for one of Sarasota's spectacular Gulf sunsets.

When your beach day is over, you're just a short drive from the comfort and privacy of your Sarasota home away from home.

It's the best of both worlds — convenient access to Siesta Key without having to stay directly on the island.

UTC, SHOPPING, DINING AND ATTRACTIONS

Head north on Cattlemen Road and you'll have convenient access to the University Town Center area, one of Sarasota's premier destinations for shopping, restaurants and entertainment.

The UTC area offers an enormous variety of stores, dining and entertainment options, giving you plenty to explore when you want a break from the beach.

Sarasota offers much more than sunshine and beautiful beaches. Spend your stay discovering the area's restaurants, shopping, arts and culture, boating, outdoor activities and attractions, including the new Mote Science Education Aquarium in the UTC area.

The home's central location makes it easy to enjoy a beach day, spend an afternoon shopping, go out for dinner and then come home to your own comfortable private space.

PERFECT FOR FAMILIES AND EXTENDED STAYS

This home is especially well suited for guests who want more than a hotel room or small vacation rental.

With three bedrooms in the main house, a separate fourth sleeping room, two full bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, multiple televisions, a bonus game room and plenty of space to spread out, you can truly settle in and make yourself at home.

For longer winter stays, having a fully equipped kitchen and everyday shopping and services nearby makes life particularly convenient.

Instead of feeling like you're living out of a suitcase, you can unpack, settle in and enjoy Sarasota at your own pace.

YOUR SARASOTA WINTER ESCAPE

While temperatures are dropping across much of the country, Sarasota's sunshine, palm trees and Gulf Coast lifestyle are waiting.

Imagine waking up on a January morning without scraping ice from your windshield, shoveling snow from the driveway or bundling up just to walk outside.

Start your morning with coffee, spend the afternoon relaxing on Siesta Key just minutes away, explore Sarasota, enjoy dinner at one of the area's many restaurants, and come home to a spacious private house where everyone has room to unwind.

Curl up in front of the fireplace, watch a movie on the 75-inch TV, retreat to your own bedroom for the evening, and wake up ready for another beautiful Florida day.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, visiting relatives, coming to Sarasota for an extended stay or simply looking for somewhere warm to spend part of the winter, we'd love to welcome you to our Sarasota home.

Trade the winter coat for shorts and flip-flops and make Sarasota your home away from home this winter.
