Property Description

Welcome to The Palmshade Bungalow — your slice of paradise in the heart of Sarasota, just minutes from world-famous Siesta Key Beach. This elevated, fully furnished turnkey home blends style, comfort, privacy, and convenience in a quiet, friendly neighborhood right next to Bee Ridge Park. Meticulously designed by a New Jersey–based interior designer, this 2-bedroom plus den (or 3rd bedroom), 3-bath beauty showcases a calming, earthy interior aesthetic, perfectly contrasted by its bold green-and-yellow exterior — a look that’s as unique as it is welcoming. Whether you’re dreaming of a full-time residence, seasonal getaway, or a savvy investment property, this home is ready to enjoy from day one — just bring your suitcase. Inside, three versatile bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or work-from-home needs. The refreshed interiors feature a warm, earthy palette and curated custom touches, including a French-abstract TV stand, a solid oak wood dining table, and all lightly used kitchenware. The layout even allows for future expansion, with space in the entryway to create a garage or additional sleeping area. In the backyard, a separate storage/tool room is ready to transform into a studio, art space, or keep as is. You’ll be just minutes from Siesta Key’s powdery white sands and close to parks, walking trails, shopping, and top-rated schools. The surrounding area is still on the rise — making this not just a beautiful place to live, but also a smart investment. Additional features include an elevated structure with a gravel driveway, generous covered parking and storage beneath the home, tropical landscaping with low-maintenance outdoor space, and thoughtful artistic touches throughout. Whether you envision a fully furnished retreat or a ready-to-go Airbnb, The Palmshade Bungalow delivers charm, style, and endless possibilities — all in one perfect Sarasota package.
