1300 Pattison Ave., Sarasota, FL 34239

One look at this newly renovated, sun-filled home, and you will want to make it your own! Upgrades include new stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, decorative backsplashes, plus new doors and hardware, ceiling fans, lighting fixtures, and window treatments. The cool terrazzo floors are refinished and the walls freshly repainted. Much of the landscaping is new, and the front yard boasts a rare Tibouchina tree and lush lawn. The roof is only two years old. The spacious wood-paneled family room has a wall of windows and French doors leading to a patio, so stoke up the grill. The large backyard has a good-sized shed for stashing your tools and toys. This home offers the perfect location—a quiet residential street lined with stately Queen Palms, yet minutes to downtown, landmark restaurants, fresh markets, schools, and the YMCA. Pattison Avenue is convenient to the Bayfront and the world-class Gulf beaches beyond. All this, and an excellent value, too.
