About this home

Welcome to 1185 S Shade Ave, where location, style, and lifestyle come together in one exceptional property. Perfectly positioned just minutes from Downtown Sarasota, Siesta Key’s world-renowned beaches, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, top-rated schools, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, this home offers true convenience in one of the area’s most sought-after corridors. Plus, enjoy peace of mind with NO HOA and located outside of a flood zone. Situated on a rare, oversized corner lot, this fully fenced property delivers privacy and curb appeal, while the backyard is built for Florida living. Enjoy a gorgeous saltwater heated pool (installed October 2021), surrounded by a travertine paver deck and low-maintenance turf yard, creating the ultimate outdoor retreat for entertaining or relaxing year-round. Inside, the home has been completely remodeled with a modern, high-end finish throughout. Features include luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh interior paint, upgraded lighting, custom accent walls, and recessed lighting throughout. The stunning white kitchen is a true centerpiece, offering dark stainless steel appliances, soft-close cabinetry, a waterfall-edge countertop, glass tile backsplash, vent hood, ledgestone accents, and a spacious walk-in pantry. Originally built in 1949, this home was taken down to one interior wall and fully rebuilt in 2012, with all major systems and finishes updated throughout. Offering nearly 2,000 square feet, the layout is both functional and inviting. Recent updates include a brand new hot water heater and a 3-ton AC system installed in May 2022, providing added peace of mind and efficiency. The property also features an oversized 20x32 garage with a motorized screen, ideal for keeping the space cool while working, along with a covered carport for additional shaded parking. Offered fully furnished, this property is truly turnkey, making it ideal as a full-time residence, second home, or income-producing investment. Opportunities like this are rare — a fully remodeled, move-in ready home with a newer pool, updated major systems, oversized lot, NO HOA, not in a flood zone, and a prime Sarasota location, all at a compelling price point. This is one you don’t want to miss.
