3735 DUNCAN PLACE

Welcome home to your lovingly maintained and beautifully modernized oasis of serenity in sought-after, centrally located Southgate. From the moment you enter, you’ll feel at home surrounded by natural textures, Italian-plastered walls and ceilings, and peaceful garden views that illuminate every room. The 1,925 square feet of gracious living space is framed by an intentional “bioshield” of lush landscaping, screened lanai, and patios that create a private haven of Florida living. Every major system has been recently updated, offering true peace of mind for the next owner. The home features a new roof with transferable 20-year workmanship warranty and new gutters (2022); HVAC system with dual UV air purification and 10-year transferable warranty (2022); complete CPVC re-pipe (2024); full sewer line replacement and connection (2020-2023); heat pump water heater (2023) that cools and dehumidifies the garage; underground electrical service by FPL (2024); and whole-house surge protection. Additional upgrades include a new garage door with Wi-Fi-capable opener (2022) and new ceiling fans throughout. Inside, you’ll find freshly refinished lime plaster walls and ceilings, solid pine trim, solid-core doors, and luxury vinyl flooring (2023). The kitchen was fully refreshed between 2021 and 2022 with new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances, while both bathrooms were updated with new tile and fixtures. The flexible west wing, with its own exterior entrance and plumbing stubbed for a kitchenette or laundry, offers versatility for a multigenerational household, private owner’s retreat, or comfortable guest suite. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a lush tropical retreat surrounded by mature privacy landscaping—an intentional “BioShield” mix of Areca palms, bougainvillea, fruiting bananas, dwarf mango, bird of paradise, traveler palms, and clumping bamboo in cypress-mulched beds. The fully fenced backyard includes gated parking for an RV, boat, or trailer; a lockable wooden garden shed with metal roof; a covered well tank enclosure; and an inviting outdoor shower. The paver patio and rescreened lanai (2024) provide ideal spaces to relax and entertain, enhanced by landscape lighting with Wi-Fi smart control. Additional highlights include an impact-rated front door (2024), clear hurricane shutters for all windows, fiber-optic internet, Blink exterior cameras, EcoBee smart thermostat and doorbells, and UV purification built into the HVAC system. With its major systems replaced or upgraded, 3735 Duncan Place offers a unique combination of energy-efficient comfort, thoughtful design, and lush privacy in one of Sarasota’s most desirable and convenient neighborhoods—just minutes from Siesta Key, shopping, and top-rated schools.
