In 2002, I left Greenville, South Carolina and moved to St. Petersburg, Florida where I had been visiting a friend for several years. In 2005, I took a great job in Venice, FL and found this precious villa in Sarasota. I worked in commercial real estate for several years, then started a construction company during the 2008 recession. Over the Christmas holiday in 2007, I took a trolley to see Christmas lights with friends, and later that evening I met my, soon to be, Yankee husband, at the Gator Club in Downtown Sarasota. In 2010, we were married in Mary's Chapel at Historic Spanish Point Plantation.
During 2012, my Yankee husband Joe and I moved to Travelers Rest, South Carolina where we now live on 20 acres raising dogs, cats, chickens, and goats. We love our Sarasota home and friends, and we hope you will enjoy the town, the sights, the people, and Gulf Gate as much as we do!

The location of this property is amazing for anyone who loves convenience, because if it's not within a 1-3 mile radius, then you probably don't need it! If you want to get to other locations in Florida, the close proximity to I-75 makes for easy travels.
This property has been well maintained and loved through the years, it depicts Old Florida Style at its best! The neighbors are friendly and it is a hop-jump-skip away from the new Gulf Gate Library. Depending on your lifestyle, this is a walk/bike/live community.

Location, location, location. Only a 10-minute drive to Siesta Key Beach, which is continuously rated #1 Beach in the United States, and close to all the amazing shops in Gulf Gate Village and Sarasota Pavilion. Gulf Gate is like the new "it" area with new retail shops, bakeries, and a mixture of international food flare that is note even seen in small cities.
