1744 South Dr., Sarasota, FL 34239

This one-of-a-kind, two-story Georgian Colonial in one of Sarasota's most sought-after neighborhoods is the epitome of southern living. So distinctive and beautiful in its surroundings, you would think you saw it in "Gone with the Wind." The home has beenbeautifully maintained with original wood floors, crown moulding, wood trim, french pocket doors, original apron sink in the kitchen, solid brass Steuben light fixtures in the foyer, living and dining room. There is the original butler's pantry, center hall stairwell with landing, side screened porch, truly, too much charm to describe it all. The rooms are generously sized, the way they used to design them. Off the foyer is the living room to one side and dining room to the other. The kitchen and breakfast room have original cabinetry, which has been updated, that has to be seen. Plenty of storage space. Master bedroom suite is very large, as is one of the bedrooms on the second floor. The fifth bedroom and fourth bath are in the detached cottage. This home is the quintessential family home across the street from one of the finest elementary schools. Your family will create a lifetime of memories here. Outdoor space has covered and open terraces and sits on a half acre of beautifully landscaped grounds with mature oaks and gardens. Must be seen to appreciate all that it has to offer.
