Welcome to this wonderful Mid Century 3-bed/3bath home with terrazzo floors + separate studio or guest suite with full bath in the sought-after West of the Trail neighborhood in Sarasota, across the street from Southside Elementary. The home sits on a spacious lot of just under 16,000 square feet, offering ample space to add a swimming pool. Originally built as a private residence, it was ALSO home to the Southern Pines Nursery and Kindergarten run by the owners' parents. Its distinctive character includes a poured-in-place concrete roof and walls constructed in 1954 using the innovative Lamolithic method. The galley kitchen underwent a full remodel in 2001 and the former kindergarten & nursery spaces were transformed into a spacious primary suite with two large walk-in closets, full laundry room, double vanity sinks, offering versatility in the use of the home's layout. Additionally, in 2001 new windows were installed throughout the home. The separate two-car garage with storage room + an attached living space including a full bath can be your home office, a place for guests or a rental. The guest suite has a separate entrance and is close to additional parking spaces just off S. Osprey Avenue. There is a half-circle driveway in front + a long driveway up to the garage. This property presents a rare opportunity to own a solidly built home with a storied past. Whether you choose to enjoy it as is, infusing your own style and personal touches, or explore the potential for redevelopment on this large corner lot, the options are endless. Embrace the spirit of Sarasota's favorite neighborhood and create your chapter in the history of this special home. Minutes to downtown Sarasota, Siesta Key, Southside Village shopping and dining.
