About this home

Open the front door and say hello to Philippi Creek. It's the first thing you see, and honestly, it might steal the show before you even get to the kitchen. This South Gate gem is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath plus den home, tucked away on a private, dead end road with only a handful of houses. It's set up for easy living from the ground up (literally, since it's elevated on a stem wall). The open floor plan lets that creek view carry all the way through the home, right out to a deck that runs the entire width of the house. Morning coffee, evening drinks, just sitting and watching the water go by, there's room for all of it out there. Inside, you'll find LVP flooring throughout, an updated kitchen and baths, and impact windows already done for you. The roof was replaced in 2016, and the home came through the 2024 storm season without a drop of water inside. South Gate keeps you close to everything: Sarasota's shops and restaurants, the Gulf beaches, and downtown, while still feeling like its own quiet corner of the world. Water views, easy living, zero fuss. Come see why this one's worth a look.

This South Gate home is absolutely the perfect combination of classic charm and shiny newness! Located on a gorgeous & wide section of Phillippi Creek, it is truly a wow both inside and out. You will love the quiet, private street and the enveloping green of the mature landscaping around the home and visible across the creek (no neighbors in sight, just trees & sparkling water!), and when you open the front door for the first time, you’ll realize inside is even better…A fine foyer opens into an amazingly large great room with tremendous vaulted ceilings and loads of light, plus a direct view of the creek from everywhere via the impact-rated sliders lining the back of the home. The open kitchen is immaculate and the vast floor plan could be arranged in many different ways to suit your individual lifestyle - between the open space and new finishes, you will truly think you are in a brand new home! Both bedrooms and the den are spacious, with the master featuring a large walk-in closet, an unexpected plus for a South Gate home! After falling in love with the floor plan & expansive feel, you’ll notice the other details that will make living here easy: a newer roof, AC, water heater and many impact-rated windows & doors! And don’t forget the huge deck out back, fully fenced yard, and kayak-ready dock, all ready for your enjoyment. Finally, the location of South Gate simply cannot be beat! 1.5 miles to Siesta Key, 4 to downtown, and 10 minutes to everywhere…you will love living here!

RSF-2

Residential Single-Family District

The RSF Districts permit single-family residential densities, which may take the form of single-family detached or cluster subdivisions; Cluster subdivisions may include lot line, traditional, patio, villa, atrium, duplex, or townhouse units. The nature of the use of property is the same in all RSF Districts, with variation among the RSF-1, RSF-2, RSF-3 and RSF-4 Districts in the requirements for density, lot area and width, and yards; A limited number of nonresidential uses are allowed, subject to the restrictions and requirements necessary to preserve and protect the single-family residential character of the neighborhood; The RSF Districts are generally used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as Low Density, Moderate Density and Medium Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map and on the Barrier Islands where the application of the district would not increase the density of development or hamper hurricane evacuation planning and disaster mitigation efforts. Locations on the Barrier Islands that have existing RSF zoning are acknowledged, and are considered to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. The RSF-4 District is also used to implement the Comprehensive Plan in the areas shown as Office/Multifamily Residential Area and Corridor on the Future Land Use; The RSF-4 District, while not a primary implementing district, may also be allowed in Regional, Community, Village I, Village II, and Neighborhood Commercial Centers. Appropriate densities within the Low; Moderate or Medium Density Residential areas shall be guided by the density ranges as outlined in Future Land Use Policy 1.1.1, Objective 2.3, and Policy 2.3.1 of the Comprehensive Plan; These densities shall also be determined, in part, by the land use designations and developed residential areas surrounding the parcel.
