Active with contract. Indian Beach residence which enhances the art of an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. While this small ranch began life as a two bedroom, one bath house it is now an open plan with multiple porches, decks and outdoor pavilions. Totalprivacy is yours whether you are entertaining in the front yard or the expansive and completely landscaped back yard. Inside, you will find uniquely painted concrete floors, custom tiled counters and a master bedroom which opens to a large sun deck and outdoor shower. Outside you will find brick patios, lighted paths and a raised el fresco dining platform shaded by a pergola. Residents and guests are surrounded by artwork and carefully selected vegetation cared for with an irrigation system fed by well water. The surrounding area is under an ancient Live Oak tree canopy and is just several hundred yards from Sarasota Bay and bay access for kayakers, fishermen or those wanting to watch the setting sun paint the horizon brilliant orange, purple and red. Do not come to this house unless you are a fan of funky artists residences found in Coconut Grove, Carmel by the Sea or Puerta Vallarta. However, if you are aspiring to an eclectic lifestyle in the midst of Ringling College of Art and Design, New College of Florida and the Ringling Museum complex then maybe you will want to have a look. This property is just a couple miles from downtown Sarasota, 12 minutes to St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach and near SRQ International Airport.
