2940 Bougainvillea St., Sarasota, FL 34239

Stunning, mid-century, ranch home in South Gate with views you must see to believe! If you could have picked one of the best lots in South Gate back in the 1960’s this may have been it. The two-bed, two bath home sits on a bluff overlooking a wide portion of Philippi Creek including a large aquatic preserve. You’ll be mesmerized by long, unobstructed views in every direction. A nature lovers delight and absolutely intoxicating for bird watchers and sunset chasers. You may even see the manatee families which travel in from the Intercoastal Waterway and the Sarasota bays not far downstream.
 
But while location is important there are many more features in this “Mod Men” classic to consider. Entering through the large foyer you’ll immediately notice beautiful terrazzo floors throughout and a great room with a vaulted ceiling. There’s an adjacent dining area which is an extension of the updated kitchen and all of these spaces look out through what appears to be a “wall of glass” dedicated to the world class view of flora and fauna. Open up these sliders and expand your living space out on to the creatively shaped deck which functions as a viewing platform over this southerly vista. Imagine the winter sunrises and sunsets you’ll be able to enjoy.

The master bedroom, also with views and access to the back yard has been upgraded with a separate tub and walk in shower. The den/office can be made more private with sliding pocket doors and function as a guest bedroom. It even has a dedicated, enclosed patio and garden space linking it to the front entry should visitors prefer to come and go without entering the main house.

There’s an attached, oversized garage with room for your workshop and utility room, a double wide driveway with plenty of parking, a regulated irrigation system, well considered landscaping and plenty of evidence this property has been cherished over time.

While this home has been appropriately updated and improved over the years you’ll find it’s all been done with a great sensibility to the original intent, quality and “hipness” so many are learning to appreciate, again.
