432 N Shore Drive Sarasota, FL 34234

Rarely available, largely original, Sapphire Shores, mid century ranch. The owner has done the "heavy lifting" by putting in impact resistant windows along with a newer AC (2014) and roof (2007) but everything else has been left to you. This is a beautiful "blank slate" should you choose to restore the home in it's chic mid century appeal with stunning terrazzo floors, original kitchen and bath fixtures and even a back yard shuffle board court just beyond the screen porch! Or, you will find this property is in a perfect location for your renovation project with plenty of room for expansion into the spacious and private back yard. In any event, it is superbly clean and Move In Ready. Public records show a two bed, two bath home but it would appear to have been built as a 3 bedroom house. The 3rd bedroom is currently used a den/office and has an entry into the Living Room and a second in to the kitchen. The master bath is a "Jack & Jill" shared with another bedroom so "original floor plan" may mean "cozy" to some. But, rest assured there is no finer location than this West of Bay Shore neighborhood adjacent to Sarasota's most magnificent cultural institutions and just a half block to Sun Circle Park on the shores of Sarasota Bay. It's just a couple miles to downtown Sarasota and a 12 minute drive up and over the John Ringling bridge to St. Armands Circle and the Gulf of Mexico beaches on Lido Key.
