Property Description
Discover this special opportunity in central Sarasota! Set on a peaceful, partially fenced half-acre lot, this distinctive property features two charming, updated cottages plus an oversized 3.5-car garage and a carport—perfect for multigenerational living, rental income, or a home-based business. Built in the 1950s–60s, both homes have been lovingly maintained by the same owner for more than 30 years, reflecting true pride of ownership. Each residence blends classic cottage character—beadboard, shiplap accents, and inviting proportions—with thoughtful modern updates. The main cottage, approximately 1,300 square feet, includes 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, a bright kitchen, and two screened porches—front and back—ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The second cottage, about 900 square feet, offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, a comfortable living area, and its own laundry and kitchenette, making it ideal for guests, extended family, or tenants. Outdoors, enjoy a spacious grassy yard with plenty of room to garden, play, or entertain, surrounded by mature trees and Florida-friendly landscaping. The oversized garage is partly air-conditioned, with two- and one-half stalls currently used as a fitness and music room, while the third provides parking and generous storage space. Practical features include two septic systems, a well with water filtration, and no county utility bills or HOA restrictions, offering ease and flexibility of ownership. Grocery, farmer's market and restaurants are just around the corner. Centrally located just 10 minutes from downtown Sarasota, 10 minutes to I-75, and 15–20 minutes to the beach, this property delivers the perfect blend of privacy, charm, and convenience—a truly rare find in today’s market.
