517 Madison Ct., Sarasota, FL 34236

Located on a quiet brick street in Historic Laurel Park, this charming Spanish Mediterranean with masonry walls offers two bedrooms, two baths, sparkling swimming pool, and is loaded with character. The original doors and windows have been replaced with current impact products, the roof has been recently replaced, and the AC handlers are less than 5 years old. Owen Burns created an intimate enclave of homes and duplexes on this street in the 1920’s, this one originally being a duplex. The owners have been using it as a single family home since their purchase 18 years ago, and enjoy the very private walled-in back yard with large patio and pool. Currently one of the living areas is being used as a roomy and wonderfully functional artists' studio. The high ceilings are a bonus, the numerous windows provide wonderful light throughout, and there are two wood-burning fireplaces adding to the uniqueness. The generous dining/living area in the rear of the house opens to the sunny patio/pool area, and the compact yet ample kitchen will be a delight for any chef. Life in Laurel Park is an amazing pleasure! It is Sarasota’s only downtown neighborhood, and is a short distance to dining, entertainment, Selby Gardens, Sarasota Bay, Payne Park, the future Legacy Trail, and downtown fairs and events. The neighborhood has its own pocket park on Laurel Street, and a kayak launch at the southern end of Ohio Place.
