2262 Okobee Dr., Sarasota, FL 34239

McClellan Park, with its parklike setting, became a fashionable neighborhood in the 1920s when many of the residences were built. It is even more attractive today, with its proximity to downtown Sarasota, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota Memorial Hospital & easy access to Siesta Key, which boasts one of the Nation’s top beaches. It is no wonder that many successful residents, medical professionals & business leaders prefer to reside in this location. One of the early majestic homes, originally built in 1932, and hidden away from the McClellan Park thoroughfare, is now available for a buyer interested in giving this classic home a new extension of life & maintain it as an outstanding example of homes from this period. Tucked away under a canopy of lofty trees & surrounded by tropical, well-maintained gardens, this home exudes charm & appeal. An expanded living area offers room for everyone, including a formal living & dining room, a large family room directly off the kitchen, a sun room & enclosed front porch filled with light. Upstairs you will find three large bedrooms, two featuring private balconies overlooking the gardens & pool. Outside, follow the garden paths past the pool to find many surprises; a hidden sauna, outdoor shower & unique vegetation. This is truly a special home & piece Sarasota history.
