4850 10th St., Sarasota, FL 34232

**If you're looking for a "one-of-a-kind character home"...this is THE ONE!!** Do you want to feel like you live with the privacy of the country but are only 3 minutes from Starbucks, restaurants, shopping, and 5 minutes from Nathan Benderson Park and UTC Mall? This property is FULLY FENCED, has two double-gates, and a nearly 1/2 acre yard (much of it with privacy fence), as well as lots of mature landscaping and gardens/sitting areas! Tons of potential for multiple additions as well! The large living/dining area, directly off the kitchen, has vaulted ceilings and is light, bright, and airy. There is an L-shaped covered and screened porch, also with vaulted ceilings, off the kitchen and it overlooks a huge grassy area where you could put a large pool or park multiple RV(s)/Boat(s)/utility trailer(s), etc. since there is a double gate on 10th Street that provides easy access. This home was built by native Floridian, Newt Whidden, and has many unique features, feels spacious, and offers lots of light from wrap-around windows that provide full privacy! The Master bedroom has a loft for storage or a "getaway" office/meditation area/reading nook. The bathrooms in the house are 2 half baths that share a shower (pretty ingenious!). The kitchen and house have been updated in the past 2-3 years since this home has been used as an Airbnb property. 2 car garage, with plenty of space for a workshop, is attached via a covered walkway and has timber from the old Ringling Bridge set into the floor! Pecky cypress and other unique materials were used in building this home. You have nearly a full 1/2 acre in a non-deed-restricted area to enjoy peace, freedom, and opportunity.

NOTE: The current Tax ID number reflects LOTS 7, 8, 9, and the North 40 feet of LOT 10, HOWEVER the property has recently been subdivided into two parcels. The parcel that is for sale is LOTS 7 & 8 and the house you see in the pictures. Regarding taxes, the rough estimate of what the property taxes will be with just LOTS 7 & 9 is 60% of what is currently listed.
