1659 Hawthorne St., Sarasota, FL 34239

At last! A luxury property that checks all the right boxes for buyers in search of captivating old-Florida charm, a walkable “west-of-Trail” neighborhood, and a gracious lifestyle in close proximity to the cultural, culinary, and retail outposts of downtown Sarasota and her offshore islands. As a bonus, the property is located just one block west of Sarasota Memorial Hospital, crown jewel of one of the most acclaimed healthcare systems in the country. In addition to its manicured front lawn, this vintage compound—located in Sarasota’s historic Hudson Bayou neighborhood—consists of the nearly 2,000 square-foot main house, its exterior a study in graceful design and symmetry. Also included in the parcel are a separate guest cottage, shaded fenced back yard; and one-car garage with adjacent car port. Built in 1940 and updated as recently as 2008 with the addition of a new master bedroom wing, the beautifully-appointed home has two additional bedrooms and baths, separate living and dining areas, an updated kitchen with sleek granite surfaces; and a centralized screened-in porch that opens to the back-yard patio, guest cottage; and pavered motor court. The 840-square foot guest cottage offers beautifully-proportioned spaces, elegant finishes and an atmosphere of privacy and refined comforts. Spread over two levels united by a spiral staircase, your guests will have their own kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and bath; and will enjoy spacious, self-contained luxury just a few steps from the main house.
