354 N Shore Dr., Sarasota, FL 34234

Active with Contract. Check out the contemporary makeover of this Sapphire Shores ranch! There are three bedrooms and three baths in a split plan with a large great room anchored by a dramatic kitchen with a center island. The master bedroom walks out to a cozy, trellised patio and the living area spills into a bright, sunlit Florida room surrounded by sliding glass doors. Indoor-outdoor living opportunities abound but improvements also provide for a perfect guest suite or elaborate home office with a large bath, walk in closet and a separate entrance. Additional updates include newer windows, tile flooring, a custom shower in the master suite and more. The parcel is over sized, fully fenced and landscaped. Sun Circle bay front park is jut a few lots away and is a wonderful spot for dog walking, sunset watching and exercise. There is a reason John Ringling chose this area to build his gilded mansion and estate grounds. It is just north of downtown Sarasota and only a twelve minute drive to St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach. But the neighborhood is so well planned the streets look like parkways and the adjacent Sarasota Bay close enough you can feel the daily breezes in your own yard.
