2 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ Captiva Gardens SubDv. ⋅ 34231 Zip Code
Garden views, two separate living areas, and a short drive to Siesta Key Beach set this 2-bedroom, 2-bath single-story villa in Captiva Gardens apart, a small, landscaped community in Central Sarasota tucked between US-41 and Beneva Road. With 1,206 heated square feet (1,638 total), an attached 1-car garage, and an HOA that handles nearly every exterior chore, it's an easy, low-maintenance way to own in one of Sarasota's most convenient pockets. The ground-level entry opens to a spacious living room with room for a full sofa arrangement and a dining set, while a separate family room gives you a second space for a home office, a reading room, or a TV den that stays out of the main flow. The well laid out kitchen comes with a range, refrigerator, and dishwasher already in place. The primary bedroom and the second bedroom each have built-in closets, and with two full baths, nobody is waiting on a shared bathroom. Ceiling fans keep air moving through the main rooms, and the floors pair carpet in the softer spaces with easy-care ceramic tile where it counts. The enclosed lanai is the spot for morning coffee or an evening wind-down, looking out over mature landscaping and garden views kept green by the community's irrigation system. The attached 1-car garage holds the laundry hookups along with parking and storage, so there's no shared laundry room and no hauling groceries across a lot. Block and stucco construction, a shingle roof, and central air and heat round out the essentials. Captiva Gardens is built around low-maintenance living. The HOA covers cable TV, the community pool, insurance, exterior, grounds, and repair maintenance, pest control, sewer, trash, and water, which takes a long list of monthly bills and weekend projects off your plate. Residents also have use of the clubhouse for gatherings and the community pool, and a lake adds a peaceful backdrop to the grounds. Pets are permitted within association weight limits (16 to 35 lbs), and the community is not age-restricted. Location is a big part of the appeal. Siesta Key Beach, repeatedly ranked the No. 1 beach in the U.S. by Tripadvisor and famous for its powder-soft, 99% quartz sand that stays cool underfoot, is just minutes away for sunset swims and the long-running Sunday drum circle. Closer still, Gulf Gate Village packs more than 150 locally owned shops, restaurants, bakeries, and bars into a walkable district, with grocery stores, everyday services, and the Gulf Gate Library nearby. Downtown Sarasota's dining, theater, and bayfront are a quick drive north on US-41, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport is roughly 11 miles away. The home is not currently tenant occupied and is available for cash, conventional, FHA, or VA financing. A single-story Sarasota villa at $219,000 with this much covered by the HOA and the beach this close is worth seeing in person. Schedule your private showing today.
