About this home
Rarely does a property offer this much land, this much character, and this unbeatable of a location. Welcome to 5701 Blount Avenue—a one-of-a-kind Sarasota property just 3 miles from the world-famous beaches of Siesta Key. This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special property on a lush, fully fenced lot and a half with room to live, work, play, and grow.
Lovingly owned and meticulously cared for by the same family since the 1970's, pride of ownership shines throughout every inch of this home. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with the home's original character, creating the perfect balance of modern convenience and timeless charm. The open-concept floor plan provides a warm, inviting flow ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
One of the home's most distinctive features is the custom craftsmanship throughout. Built-ins handcrafted by the owner and son— both master carpenters—add warmth, function, and character you simply won't find in today's construction. The primary suite features 2 walk in closets, including a reinforced concrete-block walk-in closet that doubles as a secure safe room, offering added peace of mind. Additional features include a working attic fan that helps improve ventilation and reduce heat buildup during warmer months, contributing to a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.
Step outside and discover a property that is truly in a class of its own. In addition to the attached two-car garage, you'll find an oversized attached garage/workshop, plus a separate backyard utility building complete with 110/220-volt electric—perfect for hobbies, woodworking, equipment storage, or a future creative space. A spacious covered back patio invites you to relax year-round, while the charming potting shed is ideal for gardening enthusiasts.
The expansive, fully fenced grounds with irrigation, provides endless possibilities, with plenty of room for a custom pool, outdoor entertaining, RV or boat storage, gardens, and more—all while maintaining privacy and flexibility.
Additional upgrades include a whole-house water purification and softener system, plus reverse osmosis filtration at the kitchen sink for exceptional water quality throughout the home.
Location is everything, and this home delivers. Enjoy quick access to Siesta Key Beach, Gulf Gate's popular restaurants and shopping, downtown Sarasota's vibrant arts and dining scene, Legacy Trail, marinas, golf courses, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and I-75 for convenient travel to Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Tampa, and beyond.
Properties that combine this much land, craftsmanship, functionality, and location are increasingly rare. Whether you're looking for your forever home, a seasonal retreat, or a property with room to create your dream outdoor oasis, 5701 Blount Avenue offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of Sarasota's most sought-after locations.
