About this home
Opportunity knocks at 5938 Murdock Ave, a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offering 1,381 square feet of potential in the heart of Gulf Gate Estates. Priced to invite your imagination, this residence is a rare canvas for buyers eager to build sweat equity in one of South Sarasota's most established and convenient neighborhoods.
Set on one of the area's largest lots, the property enjoys a coveted position beside a tranquil pond — meaning no neighbors on one side and daily visits from Florida's wildlife. A screened front porch greets you, while a back screened lanai overlooks a sprawling backyard perfect for gardening, gathering, or simply unwinding.
Inside, an eat-in kitchen flows into a comfortable living room and a flexible bonus room ready to adapt to your needs. The laundry room off the garage presents a smart opportunity to add a second full bathroom, boosting both function and value. A one-car extended garage and separate storage shed round out the practical features, and recent upgrades — including a new roof/2024 and new water heater — give you a solid foundation to renovate with confidence.
The location is unbeatable. You're moments from Gulf Gate Elementary, Riverview High School, Publix at Sarasota Pavilion, and easy I-75 access. The world-famous white sands of Siesta Key sit just minutes away, adding genuine VRBO income appeal.
Ready for a new generation to make it shine, this is your chance to transform potential into a personalized Sarasota retreat....
