Welcome to 1729 Gale Street - a spacious home on an oversized .72 acre lot in the quaint Manasota Gardens neighborhood located just one mile from Manasota Beach! As you approach the property you will sense the space, privacy, and possibilities. The curb appeal displays a clean, unpretentious, and well-maintained home allowing you to add all of your personal updates. Important recent upgrades include a complete pool & spa resurfacing and paver pool deck in 2022, a new electrical panel in 2022, a new roof in 2019, and a freshly painted interior and exterior. This 2,000+ square foot home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2-car garage, and a very functional and flexible floor plan. A welcoming courtyard leads you to the screened entry and spacious foyer. The living room has floor-to-ceiling windows and is open to the dining room with pocket sliders that lead to a fabulous 30'x14' covered lanai. The split bedroom layout allows for extra privacy for the main bedroom suite which has pocket sliders to the covered lanai leading to the pool & spa. The en-suite bath has great upside as the oversized adjacent walk-in closet allows for abundant storage or a future expansion to create a larger, more luxurious bathroom. A spacious and very functional kitchen overlooks the family room with easy access to the lanai and pool. The outdoor area of this home is truly the main focal point. The large pool and spa were just resurfaced, a beautiful paver deck was installed, and the 45'x25' pool cage provides ample deck space to enjoy. Picket railings were added between the covered lanai and pool area as a convenient and attractive barrier for children and pets. The 22'x21' garage provides room for extra storage and has a utility sink, a new garage door opener, and plenty of extra space in the driveway for additional parking. With almost ¾ of an acre, you have plenty of space for an outbuilding, RV or boat storage, gardens, and still room to run and play. Beyond the pool and spa, there is an additional open patio (perfect for a fire pit on a cool evening), two large sheds to secure your tools, an outdoor shower, and a fenced area for pets. No septic system to worry about here - this home is connected to public water and sewer. Manasota Gardens is a desirable location of established custom-built homes on larger lots, all within walking and bicycling distance to Manasota Public Beach and Boat Ramp.
