Welcome to hibiscus cottage!
Bright, cheery, rare and historic 1929 Mediterranean Revival home west of the trail, steps to the bay in Whitfield Estates, one of Sarasota’s oldest neighborhoods. A 2 minute stroll to bay access to enjoy sunsets, fishing, paddle boarding or just the beauty of Sarasota Bay. Sarabay Marina makes owning and using a boat extremely convenient.
Enter this charming renovated bungalow through a lovely courtyard surrounded by hibiscus and jasmine. From there a bright living room and formal dining room with high vaulted ceilings and a wood burning fireplace welcome you.
This, move-in ready home features hardwood floors throughout, barrel tile roof, new air conditioner, on-demand hot water, new water softening system more. Kitchen has stainless appliances, a 5-burner gas stove and vintage built in-in hutch.
Professionally painted, lovingly transformed inside and out by Set-Designer owner, the historic architectural elements make this house so pretty yet updated for modern living.
3 cheery bedrooms, en-suite powder room off master, large main bathroom with original fixtures and great skylight. Back patio off of windowed lanai and new copper outdoor shower and pad for a hot tub are delightful additions.
The enormous lush yard is absolutely unbeatable. Paver driveway, single car garage and separate laundry room make owning this piece of history comfortable and functional while retaining historic character.
Royal Palms frame this well-balanced Mediterranean giving it the best curb appeal in the neighborhood with an interior just as special.
10 minutes to downtown Sarasota midway between Anna Maria and Lido, Whitfield is a walking neighborhood full of parks, soaring ospreys, broad streets and bay access. Close to the Ringling Museum, New College and USF campuses Crosley Etsate, and Cá D’zan.
Famed golfer Bobby Jones once called this house home as he helped settle historic Whitfield Estates.
