About this home
Come see this charming and peaceful Old Florida gem with detached cottage ideally situated in the desirable Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores neighborhood located west of the trail. Here is a rare opportunity to own two meticulously maintained homes within the city limits in Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores, a community rich with art, culture, and history. This property has been a high-yielding asset for the seller. The seller gets a high volume of applicants, and it has required minimal effort to lease. Picture tree-lined streets, character-filled homes, and being just moments from the shimmering Sarasota Bay. You are in for a treat as you enter the main home through a central air-conditioned enclosed front porch into a home with all of its original, timeless character including glass doorknobs, lovely baseboards and trim, vintage light fixtures, painted heart of pine floors, and functional double-hung windows. This original 1930s home (732 sf) features two bedrooms (freestanding wardrobes), one bath, and a spacious combination dining/living area. An additional wonderful highlight is the central air conditioned detached guest cottage (478 sf) with kitchen, living area, one bathroom and bedroom alcove along with a screened porch and patio, and attached one-car garage. This cottage is ideal for multi-generational living or Airbnb or full-time lease opportunities. All furnishings and fixtures convey: the front unit is partially furnished; the back unit is turn-key furnished. The property includes a very nice new 12x16 Tuff Shed ideal for an artist’s studio, workshop, or just additional storage. Set on a lush 12,000+ square foot lot, the property is spacious with plenty of room for parking, entertainment and other possibilities. You are sure to enjoy the established vegetable and flower gardens. Adding to the charm, you may catch sight of the neighborhood's colorful wild peacocks who love to display their feathers. Excellent location just minutes from the Ringling Museum, SRQ Airport, and downtown Sarasota as well as close proximity to Lido Key Beach, St. Armands Circle, and Siesta Key. Two high-end homes are currently under construction on the block. This sweet property is waiting to fit your needs whether as live-in residences, a rental investment, multi-generational living, or any combination thereof. This peaceful neighborhood in "Turks Cap" (sometimes referred to as the Museum District) has a rural feel with narrow, tree-lined streets and roaming peacocks. This is a no through street with no traffic. If you want quiet and relaxed, you have found the neighborhood....
