Sarasota, FL 34234

Stunning mid-century modern, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping in the exclusive museum district of Sapphire Heights -- perfectly situated west of the Trail, and close to downtown! Enjoy a bike ride or walk the tree lined streets of this outstanding, true "Old Florida" neighborhood, and take in the enchanting sunsets at Sapphire Shores Park, just a few minutes stroll away, where you can launch your kayak for easy access to the bay! Bright and open, exuding charm and sophistication, no details have been overlooked here. Relax and entertain around the new 28 foot-long lap pool and spa, with theatrical night lighting and fountains, travertine decking, hurricane-impact cage, and surrounded in privacy with a cedar wood fence. The renovated kitchen is splendid, with granite counters, center island, stainless steel appliances, and built-in shelving - a chef's dream! Other recent renovations include glazed, impact windows throughout; newer A/C; and whole-house water filtration and osmosis system. All of this and NOT in a flood zone, sitting on an over-sized corner lot (TWO LOTS), with plenty of space for building additions. Located minutes from the Ringling Museum, colleges and Sarasota Bay -- wrap yourself up in this vintage classic with captivating old world allure. Relax by the wood-burning fireplace, and enjoy the separate air-conditioned office with half bath that can be used as a fourth guest room in a pinch. So much more to note! HVAC duct replacement; A/C ultraviolet light mold preventer; irrigation system in the front, side and back lawns, using home's well water with timer; landscaping with indigenous plantings; leaf guard; electrical and cable lines buried; ADT security system; electric panel and electric updates; hurricane-graded garage door; bathrooms with granite countertops, and Kohler fixtures throughout. This is a true gem!
