Virtually Staged. Welcome to Bayshore Gardens, where this updated 2 bedroom, 1 bath block home sits on a seawalled canal with access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf. The roof is about five years old and the A/C was replaced about two years ago, so the big-ticket items are already handled. Glossy marble-look porcelain tile runs throughout, paired with bright white walls and modern light fixtures. The open living and kitchen area features white shaker cabinetry, white countertops, a marble-look tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances. Both bedrooms are bright with dual windows in one and a canal view from the other, and the bathroom has been redone with a tiled walk-in shower, mosaic tile floor and a stone-topped vanity. Sliding glass doors lead from the kitchen to a tiled Florida room wrapped in windows overlooking the yard and canal. Outside, a walkway crosses the deep backyard to a concrete patio along the seawall, shaded by a mature tree. A carport with a storage room completes the exterior. Bayshore Gardens residents enjoy a community pool, recreation hall, marina with boat ramp, fishing pier and picnic pavilions. The home is minutes from IMG Academy, Anna Maria Island beaches, Sarasota Bradenton International Airport and the dining and shopping of Bradenton and Sarasota. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a seasonal second home or an investment property, this waterfront home offers flexibility in a sought-after location.
