Experience the best of Sarasota living from one of the city's most desirable waterfront neighborhoods. Located on Golden Gate Point, this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a clean, contemporary interior paired with an exceptional location between Downtown Sarasota and the barrier islands. Step inside to a bright, neutral interior with tile flooring throughout, crisp white trim, and an open living area filled with natural light. The updated kitchen features white cabinetry, quartz-style countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous storage, creating a fresh, modern space that flows easily into the main living area. An in-unit washer adds everyday convenience. Both bedrooms are spacious and offer excellent closet storage. The two updated bathrooms continue the home's light, modern aesthetic with white vanities, sleek fixtures, and glass-enclosed bathing areas. The primary bath features a walk-in shower, while the second bath includes a tub/shower combination. French doors off the living area bring in additional natural light and help create the relaxed indoor-outdoor feel that makes Sarasota living so appealing. But what truly sets this rental apart is the location... Golden Gate Point is a 22-acre peninsula surrounded by Sarasota Bay and positioned at the foot of the Ringling Causeway. From here, you're within walking distance of Downtown Sarasota's restaurants, boutiques, galleries, theaters, and waterfront parks. Spend your mornings walking or jogging the Ringling Bridge, take an evening stroll along Bayfront Park, or head over to The Bay Park for waterfront recreation and sunset views. When you're ready for the beach, cross the causeway toward St. Armands Circle and Lido Key. St. Armands offers more than 130 shops, restaurants, and galleries, while Lido Beach is just beyond the Circle. The complimentary Bay Runner trolley also connects Downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and Lido Beach. You're also conveniently located near Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Downtown Sarasota, Sarasota's arts and cultural attractions, boating and sailing from the downtown bayfront, and the restaurants, nightlife, and shopping along Main Street and Palm Avenue. 171 Golden Gate Point offers something increasingly difficult to find in Sarasota: a beautifully updated home in a quiet residential setting while keeping downtown, the bayfront, St. Armands, and the beaches practically at your doorstep. Come home to a location where you can enjoy dinner downtown, walk along Sarasota Bay, bike across the Ringling Bridge, or spend the afternoon at Lido Beach-all within minutes of home.
