Three bed, two bath, Indian Beach home in need of new owner! It's all block construction, NOT in a flood zone, has hurricane shutters and a dedicated generator hook up. There is also a detached garage you may use for something else since you'll find plenty of covered parking in the oversized, attached carport. Other features include a wood burning fireplace, a vintage "reading nook" on the back side of the chimney and a cozy, rear porch where you may end up spending most of your time. Windows and screens make this a "year round" space accessible from the dining room and reading nook. This property has been well cared for over the decades with a lot of permitted improvements. Some of this work we call the "heavy lifting" like all new sewer lines in 2001 along with a total replumb which means nothing is under the slab, anymore. There is a foyer entry, indoor utility room and a storage shed out back for gardening supplies should you opt for horticultural pursuits in your spacious & private yard. This property overlooks the Nationally recognized Bay Haven Elementary School and is just a couple blocks from Indian Beach Bayfront Park, a great place to enjoy long views toward Longboat Key and spectacular sunsets. It is also a great spot to launch kayaks and paddleboards. 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota and blocks from the renowned Ringling College of Art and Design. Live here and you'll be a short drive to Gulf Coast beaches, SRQ Airport and the University Shopping Corridor.
