Great investment opportunity in popular Gulf Gate! This unique property is within a 5 minute walk to 20+ restaurants (including some of Sarasota's best!) and interesting shops and services. Located in a small strip center with front parking, it is just a short drive to the famous Siesta Key beach, and the bus to Siesta Key is only 2 blocks away. The 1st floor retail space includes a showroom, retail counter, large office/conference room, 2 restrooms, photo booth, storage room, and closet. The 2nd floor has a spacious open floor plan with living room, dining room, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, separate laundry room, office nook, screened-in Lanai, and it's own separate entrance with 2 parking
spaces. The 2nd floor, which may also be accessed via interior stairs from the 1st floor if desired, was previously rented 95% of the year on VRBO. MANY POSSIBILITIES: use or lease the 1st floor for a restaurant or store and live upstairs - or lease the separate 2nd floor for extra income - or sell off the 2nd floor unit. (2nd floor furniture has been removed - unit will be delivered empty of furniture)
