Description

Located in the heart of the beautiful Indian Beach Sapphire Shores neighborhood only minutes north of downtown Sarasota, this 4 bed, 2.5 bath move-in ready home provides quick and convenient access to several amenities unique to this part of the Sunshine State. The cozy front porch, honey-colored wooden floors, and original wood-burning fireplace are just a few great features of this custom ranch-style bungalow which has undergone substantial and high-quality improvements, most of which occurred between 2014 and 2019. The improvements include new water and sewer lines, an on-demand natural gas hot water heater, a metal roof, circle driveway, 200amp electrical service and A/C panel, PGT impact-resistant hurricane windows, oversized kitchen with granite countertops and custom Amish hand-crafted wooden cabinets, a copper farmhouse sink, copper bar sink on the island, two built-in ovens, five-burner natural gas range, bathrooms are fully updated, and the amount of closet space is superb. homeowners recently replaced the refrigerator, microwave, and installed elegant faux wood blinds. There is Hardie Board siding, and all exterior walls are insulated, complete with a Tyvek house wrap. There are two newer HVACs; one for the main areas of the house and the other for the bedrooms and flex space. Both systems have had all ductwork replaced. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large laundry room with generous storage and a mudroom with plenty of space to store shoes and coats. The addition, constructed in 2017, added a large family room, a half bath, a large hall closet with ample storage space, and a flex space currently being used as an office, but could function as the fourth bedroom. A screened-in porch is located off the family room. These large rooms flow from one to the other creating an open concept, but vintage sliding French doors allow for separation without disrupting the aesthetic or flow of the home. This 2,692 square foot home (living area) sits on an oversized, non-deed restricted lot with the circle drive providing plenty of off-street parking. There is room for a pool, boat, RV, or another building, such as an accessory dwelling unit (recently approved by our local municipality). The home is close enough to the bay for gentle sea breezes. It only takes a short walk to reach Sapphire Shores Park, where you will find a designated kayak/canoe launch, picnic tables, a playground, and several benches to sit and take in a stunning sunset or simply enjoy views of Sarasota Bay. Nestled between many of Sarasotas most prominent cultural and educational institutions, there are endless opportunities for fun and adventure including the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts, Jungle Gardens, New College of Florida, and the Ringling College of Art & Design. The Ringling Bridge spans to the serene Gulf of Mexico beaches on Lido and Longboat Key.
