839 40th St., Sarasota, FL 34234

Back on the market, this West of the Trail cottage, on a 7,000-plus Sq. Ft. property, is up the Street from a public entrance to Sarasota Bay. With one bedroom and a garage converted into a den/library, this sunlight-filled home is ready to be lived in now but its big lot leaves potential for a much larger new house or a pool in the future. Located in the highly sought after Indian Beach-Sapphire Shores neighborhood—between The Ringling Museum and downtown Sarasota—this residence has had many updates since 2011 including new AC/heating system; new 200 amp electric system; remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, new wood cabinets, new travertine flooring and appliances; remodeled bath with new travertine flooring, toilet and sink; new travertine flooring in front lanai; new 25-year roof; new on demand hot water system; entire outside of home repainted in 2015 and interior repainted in 2016; and many new plantings. Great home for your parents, your college students (it’s between New College and Ringling College of Art and Design) or yourself! Why move to Sarasota and miss living near the Bay? Instead, live in a haven for fishermen, kayakers and birdwatchers!
