AWESOME OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A PIECE OF SARASOTA HISTORY! This cosy "Florida Cracker" cottage was the home of the manager for Riverwood Groves, way back when there were orange groves in this part of Sarasota. A true vintage Florida home, it retains many original features, as you can see in the photos. The sitting room, with its lovely fireplace, is the focal point. The open plan kitchen, with its original metal cabinetry under the sink and solid wood counters is spacious. It sits on a foundation rather than slab, encouraging "breathing" of the house. Underneath the linoleum are likely to be planked solid wood floors. The original claw foot bath tub is in the garage. Each of the bedrooms has a large closet. Imagine several fruits trees and some raised bed veggie gardens, if you like fresh fruit and vegetables and don't mind getting your hands dirty. If you want a whole lot of space or have a whole lot of stuff, this is not a house for you. But for someone who is looking to simplify their way of life - have less and live more - it is an ideal opportunity to acquire a piece of Florida history.
