About this home
2557 TEMPLE STREET
Privacy and charm in the heart of Arlington Park, Sarasota, this thoughtfully updated bungalow offers tranquil luxury and optimal convenience. In one of the quietest sections of Sarasota, yet only six blocks from Sarasota Memorial Healthcare, a few more to Southside Village, and mere minutes to downtown and the exciting bayfront, this location is ideal. And, with the long list of amenities offered by the Arlington Park and Recreation Center just a hundred yards away, what more could you want? This home has been lovingly and thoughtfully updated over the past three years with new roof, windows and doors, kitchen, pool re-surfacing and equipment, and more. The split floor plan features an open-concept kitchen and entertaining area with a private primary suite that opens to the freshly screened pool area and lanai. The guest room is at the front of the home and includes its own full bath. Given its location, a study or in-home office could work well here too. Connecting the center of the home to the lanai and pool area is a beautiful transitional room, used as a dining and conversation space. Even the outdoor area has much to offer with new privacy fencing, gutters and downspouts, low-maintenance landscaping and lighting, green space for pets and extra off-street parking. For those who value optimized space, quiet and convenient location, the assurance of impact-rated windows and doors, and new in everything that matters most, this is your place!

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
