Almost 1 acre of property directly on Sarasota Bay with a prestigious Bay Shore Road address. This single-family home is zoned Estate (RSFE) which means it is oversized as are many of the nearby bayfront properties. You enter through a dramatic tree canopy which creates privacy and an “Old Florida” mystic but then emerge on to the sun-washed waterfront with views south to downtown and Lido Key, southwest out New Pass to the Gulf of Mexico and directly west over Longboat Key. Year-round sunsets and cooling westerly breezes are why people have been living in this very spot for thousands of years. More recently, Bay Shore Road has become an eclectic location for the grandest homes in Sarasota. In modern times this has led to sales well over 5 and 6 million dollars and have exceeded 15 million. But you could not put a price on the most spectacular neighbor, Ca’ d Zan. John Ringling’s gilded Venetian palace anchors the neighborhood to the north and downtown Sarasota is just 2 miles south. Our oldest and most important cultural institutions can also be found on the north side. Of course, there is the familiar Ringling Museum of Art, but we also have the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet, New College of Florida and more. Elements of the original home on property evoke a nostalgic mid-century era with pecky cypress siding and plenty of outdoor living space surrounding the bay front pool. Inside is an open plan with a fireplace where the owners have entertained for years. But time marches on. Land values increase. Building codes change and new construction requires higher elevations. If this is the house for you, it will require an understanding of current building code and FEMA regulations. But if this is the location for your dream home, you may not find better views on a larger parcel.

3 bed, 2 bath canal front home just steps from the world renowned Siesta Key Beach. This home checks all the boxes. For starters, it’s on an island within an island! That means the cul de sac Siesta Isles location is quite peaceful, yet it is less than an 8-minute walk to the main pavilion on the white, powdery sands of Siesta Beach. It’s an oversized lot with a “paver” circle drive and extra-large garage providing room for guests, vehicles, and toys. But the 10,000 lbs. boat lift on your private sea wall out back is where the boat will be! Inside, you’ll find engineered hardwood floors throughout the open plan which has a split bedroom arrangement. There are pool and water views from almost every room. The kitchen has been updated with quartz counters and a stainless GE Café Series appliance package, all but the Bosch dishwasher, that is. The “owners suite” has an updated bath with a step-in shower. Sliding doors and views out to the lanai and water beyond might make it hard to ever leave this refuge. The two additional bedrooms share a bath and function well for family, guests, or home workspace. Other features include impact, insulated windows and a comfortable interior laundry. The garage, with an 18-foot wide, hurricane rated door has a workshop, but the real hobby area is the 10 x 23 outdoor “garden center”, perfect for raising orchids or other “green thumb” activities. Or it could be a convenient place to store kayaks and paddle boards which are easy to launch with a swim ladder in place adjacent to the boat dock. Living on Siesta often entails an outdoor lifestyle, and this property provides one! The home opens almost entirely to the vaulted lanai, pool and rear porch which includes ample covered area to take a break from the sun or enjoy summer rain showers. There are also two additional decks in the yard providing multiple places to entertain and enjoy the views over the wide canal. The seawall was replaced in 2017 and a boat lift makes this a special place for boaters and “would be” boaters. A deep well is used for irrigation and the property is beautifully landscaped and fully fenced. This is a “move in ready” opportunity in a very convenient location near world class natural amenities and all Sarasota has to offer.

Another french door and an arched entryway lead to the formal dining room with collapsible glass doors allowing the party to spill out onto a rear patio shaded by ancient oak trees. Adjacent to the “eat in” kitchen is a den, which is reminiscent of a Ringling “speak easy” bar room with a half bath. This is a perfect spot for “prohibition era”, after dinner cocktails.

Heres a chance to own a true Indian Beach estate. The designer's intent was to recreate Ringling Era drama with Mediterranean Revival details like decorative rafter tails, transom windows, tile roofs, coffered ceilings and wood burning fireplaces. Original inspiration came from the Bickel house, a Sarasota landmark designed by Dwight D. Baum, John Ringlings principle architect responsible for his own home Ca d Zan, just blocks away. Youll feel transported to a time when these stately houses sat on sprawling, tropical grounds with shade trees, walking paths and orchid houses. The main residence has a great room with a fireplace and French doors opening to the covered loggia and brick paver terrace. Theres a formal dining room, classic butlers pantry and a large, eat in kitchen. Also on the first floor is an oversized utility room which could be used for an office or exercise room and a generous 2 car garage. Upstairs is the master en-suite with a fireplace and Juliette balcony along with two more bedrooms sharing a full bath. The advertised square footage only represents the 2 story main house so please note, theres also a one bed, one bath cabana overlooking the pool and a 2 bed, 1 bath guest house with a detached garage. This property fronts Bay Shore Rd. and 40th St. so you can use the guest house as a 2nd residence or keep it as part of this magical property rumored to have once belonged to the Ringling family. Its been said the mango trees were specially cultivated by Ida Ringling.
