This classic home is situated in a neighborhood where narrow streets feature more dog walkers than cars, and all is shaded by a mature canopy of oaks, pines and palms. This is a return to the Florida you thought disappeared years ago, and yet within several blocks you can enjoy sunset on the bay or immerse yourself in culture at the Ringling Museum of Art, the Sarasota Ballet, or the Asolo Repertory Theatre. The house is also conveniently located near scenic downtown Sarasota, with its variety of restaurants and stores. This unique home features a newly renovated kitchen (2022) with cabinetry custom built by a local craftsman, stainless gas stove and appliances and marble counters. Original details include pecky cypress ceilings and newly finished and painted original wood floors. The split plan offers three bedrooms; two situated near a beautifully renovated full bath, at one end of the house, and an en suite guest room or office in the other wing. The HVAC was replaced in 2023, ready to cool the house down with high efficiency, as well as to heat it for those few nights a year when needed. The dining room leads to a screened porch with a private view, and off the kitchen is a large laundry room with a walk-in shower and soaking tub. The house is on an oversized corner lot that's fenced in for your pets and there are many beautiful trees, low maintenance landscaping, and a magical pathway through a forest of ferns. There is a wooden play structure in back, and plenty of additional room for hammocks and outdoor sports, and a large paver terrace in front, with ample room for a table and chairs.
