5024 Winchester Dr., Sarasota, FL 34234

This is an incredible opportunity to own a completely updated, beautiful west of the trail home in the highly sought after Museum area. The home has been impeccably maintained by the current owners; there is quality in every detail, from the elegant plantation shutters to the PGT Winguard windows. The main house has a welcoming living room with a wood-burning fireplace, linked by a dining room to the kitchen, which was remodeled in 2011 and enjoys lovely views out onto the large fenced backyard. One of the most appealing features of this beautiful home is the 500 square foot casita, which was converted from a garage in 2007. It is a beautifully decorated flexible space with a bedroom, a den, a full bathroom and air-conditioned storage. Currently used as a guest bedroom and family room, it would work equally well as a games room, exercise room, office, guest accommodation or even an art studio. The guest house and the main house are connected by a charming 900 sq. ft. brick-paved patio area. The back yard has a large grassy lawn with plenty of room for a pool. The museum area is one of the oldest communities in Sarasota; it is a friendly, eclectic neighborhood where residents like to bike, walk, and bring their dogs and children to enjoy glorious sunsets at one of two bayfront parks. The Ringling Museum, Asolo Theater, New College, SRQ airport and Jungle Gardens are just a few of the amenities on the doorstep. Downtown Sarasota is 2 miles away and the new UTC mall is a short 10 minute drive.
