Under contract-accepting backup offers. Virtually Staged. Welcome to Loma Linda Park, a quiet pocket of the Arlington Park district in the middle of a transformation, with new construction rising on nearly every surrounding street and land values continuing to climb. Downtown Sarasota sits just two miles away, and the location within Sarasota city limits permits short term rentals, giving this home real appeal for portfolio buyers as well as those planning to live here full time. Offering 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, this pool home pairs solid 1954 block construction with the updates that matter, including a brand new shingle roof, fresh neutral paint, plantation shutters, and wood look flooring through the main living areas. Out front, a circular driveway and a second drive to the attached one car garage provide parking for multiple vehicles, all framed by full white vinyl privacy fencing. Granite countertops, shaker style wood cabinetry with a section of glass front uppers, a tile backsplash, a double stainless sink, and a full appliance package make the kitchen ready to use from day one. The oversized laundry room doubles as a half bath and adds real function with a toilet, utility sink, storage cabinets, and access to the garage. Three bedrooms, each with a ceiling fan, share an updated bath with a dual sink vanity and a fully tiled walk-in shower trimmed with a mosaic floor and stone accent band. The backyard is where this home truly separates itself. A screened and covered lanai runs the width of the house, anchored by a built-in entertaining bar, ceiling fans, and cafe lighting, all overlooking the caged pool and its stamped concrete surround. Beyond the screen, the fully fenced yard continues with a wood sun deck, a stone fire pit, a towering shade tree, and a gated side yard with stepping stone path. It is a setup built for year round Florida living, with room to add your own touches and make it yours. With no HOA, you are free to enjoy it all on your terms, a mile from Sarasota Memorial Hospital, minutes from Southside Village dining, Arlington Park's pool and trails, and the shops and bayfront of downtown, with Siesta Key's sand a short drive west. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
