359 N Shore Dr., Sarasota, FL 34234

INVESTORS and DIYers!!! In an AMAZING location, this vintage 1971 home in the sought-after Sapphire Shores neighborhood was custom built by the current owners/residents’ parents on land originally owned by John Ringling himself! This 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath split plan home with 2,864 square feet provides a lot of flexibility for you to adapt or expand. It is setback nicely, offering a large front yard on an oversized lot, and backs up directly onto the Caples Estate and Ringling Museum with enviable back-yard privacy. This home has tons of potential - add a new roof and update the interior, and your investment will pay off handsomely!!! The Sapphire Shores neighborhood is a truly special place - - - immediately adjacent to the world-renowned Ringling Art Museum, the historic Asolo Theater and John Ringling’s personal residence, the Ca’ d’Zan mansion. This exceptional community is an eclectic mix of “old Florida homes” and waterfront million dollar mansions (starting just two doors down). This home is only 2/10 mile from the waterfront pet-friendly Sun Circle Park where you can sit and enjoy the sunset... or put a gate in your back fence and stroll directly along the Caples and Ringling Estates waterfronts. Close to everything (downtown Sarasota; the Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport; shopping at University Town Center Mall and St. Armand’s Circle; and award-winning local beaches), this really is the place to be!
