THIS ISN'T YOUR AVERAGE HOME AND IT CERTAINLY ISN'T YOUR AVERAGE LOCATION. Welcome to 48 Dade Avenue, a beautifully loved and meticulously cared-for Sarasota home offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,973 square feet of living space, a 2-car garage and an oversized .27-acre homesite. In a market filled with smaller lots and communities burdened by association fees and restrictions, this property immediately separates itself.Step inside and the pride of ownership is immediately apparent. This is a home that has been genuinely loved, thoughtfully cared for and beautifully maintained. At nearly 2,000 square feet, the floor plan provides comfortable living space while still feeling warm and inviting. It's bright, clean, move-in ready and offers the kind of condition that allows a buyer to unpack and start enjoying their new home rather than immediately beginning a list of projects.The improvements only add to the value. A NEW ROOF was installed in March 2025 and includes a 10-year transferable warranty. Hurricane-impact windows have been installed throughout the home with the exception of the Florida room, and the garage features an insulated garage door. Inside, the updated kitchen features wood cabinetry and quartz countertops, while the bathrooms have also been updated and include power-assist toilets. A whole-house water filtration system and under-sink reverse-osmosis system provide another thoughtful upgrade, with all-new filters installed in August 2026. The home also includes window shades throughout.The home offers multiple living spaces, including a living room, family room and Florida room, providing flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, working from home or simply spreading out. Outside, the fenced backyard takes full advantage of the oversized homesite, while full exterior sensor security lighting is another valuable addition.And then there's the LOCATION. You're within walking distance of Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School and incredibly close to the newly renovated Bobby Jones Golf Club and Nature Park. St. Martha Catholic School is also nearby. The area's public schools include Sarasota High School, McIntosh Middle School and Fruitville Elementary School. Downtown Sarasota, UTC, Nathan Benderson Park and I-75 are all just minutes away, putting shopping, dining, entertainment, recreation and some of Sarasota's most desirable destinations within easy reach.The oversized .27-acre lot also gives the next owner something increasingly difficult to find in central Sarasota: OPTIONS. Enjoy the outdoor space exactly as it is today or explore the possibility of creating your own backyard retreat in the future. And with NO HOA and NO CDD, you aren't taking on high association dues or unnecessary community restrictions. You have the freedom and flexibility to enjoy your property on your terms. Pools can be added. But you can't recreate LOCATION, LAND and FREEDOM.This is what makes 48 Dade Avenue special. It isn't just 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1,973 square feet. It's the combination of a beautifully maintained home, an oversized lot, an established Sarasota location, a two-car garage and remarkable access to everything Sarasota has to offer. Come experience 48 Dade Avenue and see why this well-loved Sarasota home deserves to be at the top of your list.
