Your Spacious Retreat Awaits at 5200 Malaga Ave – A Sarasota Home with Enduring Quality and Room to Roam! Embrace the generous living spaces of this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence, perfectly positioned on a sprawling .32-acre corner lot in a desirable Sarasota location. Boasting 1,878 sq ft, this home, originally built in 1959, underwent a significant and high-quality renovation in 2017, and has been lovingly maintained since. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the fresh, inviting aesthetic, enhanced by a recent interior paint refresh. The beautiful ceramic tile and comfortable carpeting, both installed during the 2017 renovation, contribute to a cohesive and appealing flow throughout. The centerpiece for entertaining and everyday living is the truly spacious 23 x 23 family room, where a warm gas fireplace creates an inviting ambiance for cozy evenings or lively gatherings. The well-designed kitchen, a highlight of the renovation, features lustrous granite countertops, stylish wood cabinetry, and quality appliances, making meal preparation a joy. Rest easy knowing that major components were addressed: a new three-tab dimensional fiberglass roof and a complete new AC system were installed in 2017, providing comfort and longevity. The exterior has also been recently painted. Beyond the interior, the outdoor potential is extraordinary. The expansive corner lot offers unrivaled parking solutions for your RV, boat, or motor home, with easy multi-directional access. Imagine creating your own backyard oasis with plenty of room for a custom pool. The massive 800+ sq ft garage provides abundant storage or space for a workshop. Best of all, there are no deed restrictions, giving you the freedom to truly make this property your own. This home offers exceptional value, combining substantial upgrades with a fresh interior and fantastic outdoor setting! Move right in and start enjoying the Sarasota lifestyle!
