1317 N Riverside Dr., Sarasota, FL 34234

This charming, classic bungalow has been significantly renovated. No detail was overlooked in the "re-crafting" of this one, possibly two bedroom home which has a legal second dwelling on property. From the floor joists and gleaming oak floors to the fabulously retro kitchen and the roof above your head, every element of this house has been renovated, rebuilt or replaced in the last several years. This "new, old house" sits on almost an acre of Old Florida landscape. Transport yourself back in time when the upper reaches of Whitaker Bayou must have felt like the Garden of Eden to traveling snowbirds. Subdivisions with names like Bayou Oaks, Riverside and Bay Haven were home to some of Sarasota's earliest residences. This unique property is now just a few parcels from the Ringling College of Art and Design and minutes to downtown Sarasota. This sale includes an additional parcel of lush, tree canopied property. Subdividing the property in to multiple home sites is a possibility for those who may be interested in creating a personal "compound" or generating a return on investment after purchase. Pictures can convey the classic beauty of this house, but only a visit will reveal the magic of the experience. The guest cottage awaits your renovating touch but rest assured there are no uncompleted tasks preventing you from moving right into this property.
