845 Highland St., Sarasota, FL 34234

The essence of coastal charm is complemented by a natural rustic feel throughout this private and wonderfully located mid-century home. Thoughtfully and skillfully renovated without losing any of the nostalgia from when it was built in 1961, this residence blends beach cottage character with delightful upscale finishes. Lush tropical foliage creates an enchanting oasis in the front yard drawing you into the chic interiors. Bright and comfortable, wood accents offer a sense of warmth within the living room, enhanced by a vaulted shiplap ceiling, terrazzo floors and open floorplan. Ideal for casual and quaint gatherings, the kitchen overlooks the main dwelling featuring a breakfast bar, stainless appliances, farmhouse sink, tile backsplash and stunning wood countertops that are also matched in the full and half baths. The quintessential Florida experience is found through the dining area where French doors open to the privacy-fenced backyard with a paver patio, entertaining area and landscaping. Form meets functionality as you find a spacious half bath featuring the washer and dryer. The master suite and generously sized guest bedroom are positioned for solitude, offering an updated bath with a beautiful walk-in shower. Hurricane windows and doors, an updated electrical panel, desirable fixtures and finishes, and stylish design throughout make this a lovely residence. Perfectly located just minutes to Sapphire Shores, the SRQ Airport, Ringling Museum, Lido Beach and St. Armands Circle, and downtown Sarasota adds to the appeal.
