One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to 4542 Linwood Street in the heart of Sarasota, within 1 mile of the Legacy Trail, 2 miles to shopping & restaurants, less than 10 minutes to I75, and 15 minutes to downtown Sarasota. This home is a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home with a den and all the extras! The front yard was recently renovated with new sod, landscaping, an extended driveway, and a paver pathway leading to the freshly painted front door. Once inside the renovations are obvious, neutral paint colors, wide baseboards, light wood-look floors & recessed lighting throughout the main living area. New white kitchen cabinets, gorgeous quartz counters, glass tile backsplash, white farm sink, and several modern upgrades like the retractable counter outlets & black cabinet pulls. The kitchen island seats four comfortably and has additional storage below. Flowing into the dining room there is plenty of space for eight or more with a credenza. Just down the hall is a beautifully renovated bathroom with a walk-in shower, floating vanity, backlit mirror, rain showerhead, modern tile, and a full linen closet. Across the hall is a massive bonus room with a walk-in closet that is currently being used as a fourth bedroom. Next to it, a bedroom with great lighting from two windows and sufficient storage in the closet. On the other side of the kitchen is the third bedroom with an exterior door to the fenced-in yard and direct access to the pool bath and laundry room. The oversized living room is bright and functional with stunning views of the backyard and two exterior doors. Just off the living room is a true primary suite that overlooks the backyard. The primary holds a king-size bed, nightstands, and two closets (one being a walk-in) without losing its spaciousness. The separate vanity room guides you into the primary bath of which both have modern porcelain tile. No lack of updates here- new bathroom vanity, mirror, toilet, and walk-in porcelain shower. Heading outside through the three large pocket sliders in the living room, every inch has been thoughtfully renovated to make the most of each space. The saltwater pool is 29ft x 14ft and the concrete deck was just refinished! The new paver patio has an outdoor grill space, pergola, and lounge seating to enjoy day or night. The West corner has a designated firepit paver area and green space with new sod. The east corner is equipped with a storage shed and a dog run made for any breed or quantity (47ft long!) all lined with vinyl fencing and astroturf! Lastly, a screened-in lanai with recessed lighting, looking over the entire yard with access to both the living room and the half bath/ pool bath and laundry room. This home must be seen to be fully appreciated so schedule a showing! *For a complete list of updates ask your REALTOR for the feature sheet! Matterport & virtual walkthroughs are also available.
