2028 Alameda Ave., Sarasota, FL 34234

Significantly renovated & updated, split plan ranch on beautiful Weber Canal. This comfortable three bed, two and one half bath house is one property in from Whitaker Bayou which means it is just minutes (and no bridges) to the world class waters of Sarasota Bay. The views up and down this canal evoke an "old Florida" feel with large trees and Spanish moss making it a surprise to be just minutes from downtown Sarasota. The house is a perfect "two en suite" with an office or a 3rd bedroom, if needed. The inviting open plan has maple floors in the living area, tile and carpet in the bedrooms, a classic ranch fireplace with a pecky cypress mantle and a "chef's kitchen" with a gas cook top on the spacious, granite topped, center island and a multifunctional convection oven with warming drawer. All of this overlooks the sunny pool and fenced yard which cascades down to the water line. This opportunity also includes a pantry, large interior utility room and a stainless appliance package with wine cooler. The pool utilizes solar heat and the adjacent spa uses natural gas. The seawall is notched allowing you to bring the boat in close and there is already a boat lift for your use. Everything has been well maintained and it would appear Sarasota is beginning to rediscover it's most convenient waterfront if nearby, high end home construction is any indicator. Come and see where Sarasota began and why...the natural beauty of the north side.
