Welcome home to your West of the Trail Bungalow near the Bay! This charming cottage has many of the classic features you appreciate – original hardwood oak floors, a brick wood-burning fireplace in the living room, bay windows that wrap around the den and a built-in corner kitchen cabinet with vintage glass doors. But this cozy retreat also offers a newer wing with a light-filled family room with cross-beams and a vaulted ceiling, an updated 2nd bath with walk-in shower, as well as a bright and airy sunroom that overlooks the gardens and opens onto a private outdoor deck perfect for entertaining. Other newer improvements include the A/C system, hurricane-rated roof, replacement windows/sliders and exterior vinyl siding. Originally built in 1933 for a Ringling Bros. Circus family, this home has been lovingly maintained and improved by the current owners for the past 27 years and is being sold as-is. Situated on an oversized corner lot with mature plantings and oak trees, this bungalow is part of the historic Granada neighborhood, Sarasota’s first suburban community built in the '20’s. Located only a short bike ride or walk to the Siesta Key north bridge and Bay Island Park, this home is only minutes from the upscale new shops and restaurants in the Westfield Siesta Key Mall, which also includes the CineBistro cinema, LA Fitness and Lucky’s Market. Trendy Southside Village is also close by, as well as our vibrant downtown Sarasota. Prepare to fall in love at first sight!
