820 Whitfield Ave., Sarasota, FL 34243

The Bechtel House is a rare and authentic Sarasota School of Architecture mid-century modern home designed by Seibert Architects in 1967. The iconic design is about courtyard living at its finest. Soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, sliding walls of glass, which open to walled-in lush gardens, and an inground pool. There is a separate art studio or office hidden away, which can be used as a third bedroom. The current owner has installed a new roof, appliances, kitchen, and updated the bathrooms within the last four years. Washer and dryer stay. This one-of-a-kind home is located near Ringling Museum of Art, and the 1920s-era Sara Bay Country Club, in Whitfield subdivision. It is a great location for easy access to shopping, airport, museums, restaurants and everything Sarasota, Bradenton and Tampa Bay areas have to offer. The built-in wall cabinet in dining room does not convey.
