1016 Caloosa Dr, Sarasota, FL 34234

This may be the least expensive waterfront property in the City of Sarasota. It is, without a doubt, the quickest, easiest access to Sarasota Bay under $500,000. That's almost unheard of. It's not for a big boat so if you're looking to park the yacht, stay home. But if you're like most of us on the Gulf Coast what you need is a place for a center console, flats boat or run-about or a place to launch kayaks and stand up paddle boards. You can be in the pristine waters of Sarasota Bay in minutes. But this might not be the best feature of the property. The house is a very spacious, masonry ranch with a newer, 2 pane, insulated window package (saves $$), a new roof with transferrable warranty and newer AC components. It's light and bright and among the oversized rooms you will find an open plan anchored by a large, mid-century fireplace, separate dining room overlooking the pool & lanai, family room and an eat in kitchen with a breakfast bar. Just like all the other large features, you'll also find an oversized, two car garage with room for a workshop, an inside utility room and a well for irrigation. You may be interested in irrigation when you see the collection of classic Florida trees like the most prolific Avocado in the neighborhood, mango, loquat and Leechie Nuts. Legacy oaks shade dozens of bromeliads on this large parcel with absolute privacy just minutes from downtown Sarasota and all her amenities. Oh, and it's just 12 minutes to Lido Beach if you are driving but why not take the boat?
