This Contemporary four-bed, fourth bath home is made of steel beam construction and located in the private enclave of Ringling Point. Ringling Point, with only 10 waterfront homes is directly on Sarasota Bay. 360-degree views from this property take in Stephens Bay, downtown Sarasota, Sarasota Bay and John Ringling’s gilded era mansion, Ca d’ Zan. A deeded boat slip, protected from prevailing winds has new decking, a lift, electric and water. The seawall of this private marina was also recently rebuilt to very high standards.
Defining features include a long, broad roof overhang and wrap around terraces like the recognized Sarasota School of Architecture designed for our specific climate and an active indoor/outdoor lifestyle. “Window walls” and sliding glass doors open to an additional 1,300 square feet of elevated, outdoor living space and provide fresh sea breezes, endless sunsets, and views from every angle. Inside, you’ll find an open plan with varied ceiling heights, clerestory windows, polished ductwork, and exposed steel beams. Warming elements include wood floors throughout, and a stacked stone accent wall in the living room showcasing a decorative fireplace as a focal point. The kitchen has an island perfect for entertaining with barstools, wine cooler and even a creative ice bucket built right into the countertop. The stainless-steel appliance package includes a 5 burner, natural gas range and a side-by-side Sub Zero. The en-suite bedrooms each have private outdoor spaces and views of the lush neighborhood and surrounding waters. The 4th bedroom is currently used as a loft office space and overlooks the entire living area below. It has a private balconette and views of downtown Sarasota and a continuous Florida cloud display. Opening this home provides 4,500 square feet of living space in addition to the “resort like” outdoor amenities which include a saltwater pool, waterfall, spa and a waterfront terrace cascading toward the bay. All of this is surrounded by exotic and tropical landscaping including majestic rows of Royal Palms. The garage has an electric vehicle charging station and a recently installed smoked-glass door.

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.

Sapphire Shores ranch home on an oversized parcel just steps to Sun Circle Park. This 3 bed, 2 bath pool home has been wonderfully updated with a new roof, impact resistant windows & doors, refinished terrazzo floors, a new kitchen and two new baths. It still retains cool mid-century flair with the vaulted and beamed cypress ceilings, an interior, exposed, stacked block wall and gleaming terrazzo throughout. This is most likely a “Zimmerman” design which puts it solidly within the Sarasota School of Architecture. The “eat in” kitchen overlooks the pool where this owner has piped and plumbed for outdoor cooking. The dining room also opens to the lanai with a large, covered porch and heated pool. And this pool will be more than an exotic “night light” since it is 40 feet long! What a wonderful way to exercise and relax. The most recent addition is the bonus room adjacent to the interior laundry. This serves as a “drop zone” coming in from the car but is large enough for a home office or most hobbies. Being next to the kitchen makes it a convenient, accessible space and potentially a large pantry. The principal bedroom is en-suite with dual closets. Outside, you’ll find a large yard with plenty of back yard privacy but if you want to socialize, Sun Circle Park is within sight from the front yard and is a wonderful place to walk along the waterfront and enjoy sunsets over Sarasota Bay and Longboat Key.

Location, location, location is the mantra for this Florida Ranch with two beds, two and a half baths and a huge bonus room currently used as an art studio. There’s even a garage big enough for 3 or more cars! It’s a real “west of Bay Shore Road” charmer on the corner of Sun Circle Drive and North Shore Drive. This means you have peek-a-boo views of the bay in several directions and are almost adjacent to one of the most beautiful, waterfront parks in the City of Sarasota. Enter this property through a private courtyard evoking traditional Greek Isle designs and you have access to the house, studio, and garage. Once beyond the gate you are now in the privacy of your compound containing many indoor and outdoor spaces. Inside, through the foyer you will find a combination living & dining room which spills out into a long Florida room with an original pebble floor. This central area of the home also connects to the family room and kitchen. The family room is where most meals are taken, working well as a casual dining area. From here you can easily move out to the garden lanai for al fresco dining enjoying views of the bay and cooling sea breezes. An owner’s suite added some years ago, creates a private wing with a bedroom, office, bath and walk in closet. Most rooms open to the outdoors enlarging all living spaces and providing garden views from every direction. The split plan puts the second bedroom, an ensuite, on the far side of the property which means your guests will have all the privacy they may desire, or you will have the degrees of separation sometimes necessary for domestic bliss.
The large, airconditioned bonus room is the original garage and you can still open the entire area to the private courtyard. This spacious room is currently used as an art studio but is suitable for multiple purposes like a third bedroom adjacent to the half bath, a home gym or an office with a private entry. Across the courtyard is the garage, large enough for more than two cars leaving plenty of space for a shop and storage. Meandering around the outside of this large lot you will come upon multiple patios, gardens, and fruit trees. The nearby Sun Circle Park is a wonderful place to walk along the waterfront and enjoy sunsets over Sarasota Bay and Longboat Key. It will only take you minutes to launch kayaks and boards for a paddle along the north shore with world class views like John Ringling’s Ca d’ Zan. It’s all about being in Florida and enjoying the indoor/outdoor lifestyle in this highly desirable Sarasota neighborhood. Live here amidst Sarasota's most significant cultural & educational institutions and you're only 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota, a 12-minute drive to St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key and an equal distance to University Parkway anchored on the west by SRQ International Airport and the UTC shopping district and I75 on the east.

815 Patterson Drive is a beautifully maintained mid-century ranch with 3 bedrooms and one bath on two lots abutting Bay Shore Road which runs along Sarasota’s north shore. This cozy home is a blend of quality vintage features and modern updates. You’ll be welcomed by a brick paver walkway leading up to a classic Florida front porch. From here, you enter the living room which has an expansive picture window and cypress wood paneling reminiscent of the era. The split plan means two bedrooms and the full bath are on one side of the house while a third bedroom is on the opposite side. This third bedroom shares a wall with a substantial exterior utility room creating the possibility of a second bath and therefore an “en-suite”. The original Florida Room has been encompassed into the Living Area and is now used as a den and office. The combined kitchen and dining room is where most of the living occurs. These rooms have been updated with newer appliances, a prep island, tile floors and a wall of solid wood, built-in cabinets providing plenty of storage. There is a single car carport and an adjacent, comfortable, covered patio with brick paver flooring. The property has approximately 200 linear feet on Patterson Drive, over 50 feet on Bay Shore Road and 157 feet of depth on what could be a second lot. Remove the house to create two homesites or use all this available land for your new garage, accessory dwelling unit and pool. Many options exist on this property which is close to a half-acre in Indian Beach. Indian Beach, which contains some of the most progressive urban planning from the early 20th century is nestled amidst Sarasota's most significant cultural & educational institutions like the Ringling College of Art and Design, The John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Theater for the Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet and more. Live here and you are only 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota, a 12-minute drive to St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key and an equal distance to University Parkway anchored on the west by SRQ International Airport and the UTC shopping district and I75 on the east.

Neighborhood rumor suggests this home on Bay Shore Circle was built by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. The myth may be dispelled but it’s easy to see why someone might think that. The house is referred to as Organic Modern, a mid-century movement which rejected mainstream designs in favor of using natural shapes, natural materials and designing to a specific, natural environment. Frank Lloyd Wright was America’s most well known “organic” architect. Others say this house was designed by a boat builder and it is certainly reminiscent of a glorious Dutch houseboat with teakwood, cypress and black walnut throughout. You’ll also find brass pulls on the kitchen cabinets and finishing touches like Dutch Doors, some with stained glass inserts. Whatever the inspiration may have been, it is clearly a very cool, Bohemian paradise shaded by a dozen ancient oak trees just steps to Sarasota Bay. The main house, with a “butterfly roof” design, functions as a one bed, two bath home with a living room and cozy family room. The ceilings are beamed, tongue and groove and vaulted in areas. Clerestory windows allow in maximum light. The kitchen has a vintage farm sink, and an antique Maytag range appropriately branded a Dutch Oven. When cooking up a feast, just swing open the top half of the door to let in afternoon sea breezes if you need some cooling. There is also a guest house with a bedroom and a large, functional studio. There’s a full bath and small kitchenette area creating an independent living opportunity for some. Other features of this property harken to Sarasota’s history like a large outdoor fireplace predating the house. Who built it and what for? Just another mystery of the first house built on Bay Shore Circle in Indian Beach, so named for being a populated piece of Real Estate for over a thousand years. If you have a chance to visit this property, you may understand why.

The house has three bed rooms, two baths and an over-sized garage with a full utility room. Beyond the gorgeous pool with fountain features there is also a detached studio which could easily function as a guest house since it contains a full bath, bedroom, loft and plenty of living space. This home is built entirely of masonry construction with impact resistant windows. Interior features include stainless steel appliances, Lube cabinetry and quartz counter tops in the kitchen with a custom tile back splash. The wood floors, fireplace and visible cypress eaves bring a warmth and organic nature to an otherwise contemporary motif.

This unit has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a unique loft used as an office which could easily become your 3rd bedroom. A spacious, “gated” front porch at the 4th floor entrance greets you upon arrival.

Once inside your gaze will be drawn through the open plan and out to the expansive, open, westerly view. The kitchen, with stainless appliances and granite countertops is oversized allowing room for a cozy breakfast nook. But there is also a breakfast bar easily accessible from a more formal dining room. The open plan, allowing views throughout, flows from dining to a comfortable living area which is adjacent to the Florida room providing the dramatic 180-degree views, south over Philippi Creek, west over barrier islands and the Gulf of Mexico and north to Sarasota Bay. You can even see the Ringling bridge connecting downtown Sarasota to Lido and Longboat Key. The primary bedroom, with direct access to the porch, shares these views and has a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath. The second bedroom is spacious and has a private entry in to a full bath also available from the main living area.

Three bed, two bath home sitting on one of the most inspiring parcels in Tahiti Park. This property is an urban enclave abutting commercially developing land to the east but overlooking one third of an acre reminiscent of old Florida to the west. There is a large master with an updated bath, a third bedroom with a private entrance maybe perfect for a home office. There is an interior laundry closet near all the bedrooms containing a high end, front load washer and dryer. The second bath, also updated, retains an original square “corner bath” reminding us of mid-century roots. The kitchen has been updated and has a complete stainless steel appliance package. It is open to the great room with a vintage, stacked stone fireplace as a dramatic focal point. There is even a cypress accented, screened-in porch overlooking the front yard and dramatic tree canopy. There is a large circle drive in the front where most choose to park but you will also find a rear load garage accessed by Lowe Lane. Plenty of surface parking for additional vehicles & toys like a boat or small RV. The fenced in back yard also has two sheds with electricity, large enough to be workshops. Other assets include a private entrance to Whitaker Gateway Park and pedestrian access to the soon to be completed Strand condominium community. Tahiti Park is the closest “west of trail” neighborhood to the increasingly vibrant downtown Sarasota. This provides all the urban amenities you can imagine including being walking distance to some commercial establishments. But the contrasts between what Tahiti Park is near, and what Tahiti Park is are extreme. Tahiti Park is a tree canopied enclave on the shores of Sarasota Bay and Whitaker Bayou steeped in local history and still providing an oasis environment in which to live.

It's been years since we've seen an opportunity like this in Sapphire Shores. A true, in line, double lot with a large, vintage, two owner ranch home. This one has not been on the market for over 40 years which means you'll find wonderful original features like terrazzo floors throughout which have never been carpeted, a dramatic wood burning fireplace with a unique recessed mantle and built-in cypress cabinentry in the master bedroom which includes a cute mirrored vanity. The open floor plan and large windows bring in plenty of light and provide the kind of long sight lines you hope for in a quality, mid-century house like this. It's a split plan with one bedroom originally designed as a "mother in law suite". Today it's perfect for a home office or guest room. The kitchen has been recently upgraded making the house perfectly move in ready but when you see the size of this property your imagination will run wild with the possibilities. This 1951 builder's "model" has good ceiling height, a cypress paneled den, an oversized two car garage and a large rear deck overlooking a piece of Old Florida getting harder to find every day. It may appear to be a "diamond in the rough" but be sure this much living space on grade is absolutely irreplaceable. One half block to the bay front Sun Circle Park and nestled among Sarasota's most renowned cultural and educational institutions. Two miles north of downtown Sarasota and the John Ringling Bridge which takes you to the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key.

Nestled in the middle of "the Museum Area" on Sarasota's north side is an enclave of homes built in the early 1980's. The district is called Adams Heights and this name is accurate because it's a non-flood zone location, high in elevation for a neighborhood just short stroll from the shores of Sarasota Bay and the waterfront Sun Circle Park.
Being a bit "new" for this historic area means you can enjoy the dramatic beauty and tree canopy of a vintage neighborhood while feeling safe in more recent block construction which includes a 2 car attached garage with a workshop, three beds and two baths arranged in a split plan, a great room with a vaulted ceiling, a cozy dining alcove, a beautifully updated, eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar and a large, sunny Florida room.
Saltillo tile accents the main living areas and the 3 bedrooms all have hickory flooring. More significant architectural features include impact resistant windows, a "lifetime" metal roof and a set of PV solar panels which reduce the electrical bill to almost zero!
Live here and you are minutes from Sarasota's most significant cultural & educational institutions, 2 miles north of downtown, a 12-minute drive to St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key and an equal distance to University Parkway anchored on the west by SRQ International Airport and UTC Mall and I75 on the east.

Wonderfully updated, mid-century contemporary house rivaling any Sarasota School of Architecture opportunity. However, this was created by a visiting architect here to design a nearby Church. O. O. Eash is well known for Danish-modernism and simple elegance taking inspiration from Breuer, Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. Thats a lot of ZING!! for this 2 bed, 3 bath house two blocks from Jungle Gardens. Youll be welcomed by a wall of period appropriate breeze-block and enter through double doors under a spacious, covered front porch. Inside is an open plan with a centrally located kitchen from where you can see all living areas and outdoor spaces. The bedrooms are en-suite and there's a possible 3rd currently used as an office. A common feature throughout are wood, accordion style closet doors warming up the contemporary vibe. The rear of the house is a wall of glass opening to a screened porch which runs the width of the house. Current owners have done a lot to bring this home to high design standards and one of the most visible efforts is a step-up pool anchoring the back yard creating a tropical paradise perfect for entertaining or keeping to yourself in total privacy. This is a must see for fans of residential modernism but will also appeal to those looking for an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores is home to the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet and many more Sarasota cultural & educational institutions.

Small bungalow on North Trail Zoned lot in Opportunity Zone 2. Adjacent to commercially zoned land along Tamiami Trail on Sarasota's near north side. While it is within the boundaries of the Central - Cocoanut Historic District the underlying zoning gives it potential for redevelopment as multi-family.

Stunning, mid-century, ranch home in South Gate with views you must see to believe! If you could have picked one of the best lots in South Gate back in the 1960s this may have been it. The two-bed, two bath home sits on a bluff overlooking a wide portion of Philippi Creek including a large aquatic preserve. Youll be mesmerized by long, unobstructed views in every direction. A nature lovers delight and absolutely intoxicating for bird watchers and sunset chasers. You may even see the manatee families which travel in from the Intercoastal Waterway and the Sarasota bays not far downstream. But while location is important there are many more features in this Mod Men classic to consider. Entering through the large foyer youll immediately notice beautiful terrazzo floors throughout and a great room with a vaulted ceiling. Theres an adjacent dining area which is an extension of the updated kitchen and all of these spaces look out through what appears to be a wall of glass dedicated to the world class view of flora and fauna. Open up these sliders and expand your living space out on to the creatively shaped deck which functions as a viewing platform over this southerly vista. Imagine the winter sunrises and sunsets youll be able to enjoy. The master bedroom, also with views and access to the back yard has been upgraded with a separate tub and walk in shower. The den/office can be made more private with sliding pocket doors and function as a guest bedroom. It even has a dedicated, enclosed patio and garden space linking it to the front entry should visitors prefer to come and go without entering the main house. Theres an attached, oversized garage with room for your workshop and utility room, a double wide driveway with plenty of parking, a regulated irrigation system, well considered landscaping and plenty of evidence this property has been cherished over time. While this home has been appropriately updated and improved over the years youll find its all been done with a great sensibility to the original intent, quality and hipness so many are learning to appreciate, again.

This comfortable and clean ranch is in far northwest Bradenton, close to important amenities like HCA Florida Blake Hospital, the shopping corridor of Manatee Avenue and of course the lovely island paradise of Anna Maria Island! Everything is “move in ready” so be prepared to start enjoying the Florida lifestyle, immediately. The AC system was replaced in 2023. The roof was replaced in 2024. The electrical panel was replaced in 2025. The new paver driveway, for maximum curb appeal was laid in 2024. The list goes on, but you must see this one. Classic Florida features include the deep eaves to block the sun and a long, generous front porch. The foyer entry has a cool slate floor, and the “semi open” plan brings you into a large living room which flows into dining space with an adjacent patio. The light, bright kitchen overlooks a sunny family room and here you can start to pick up on some of the mid-century features. Large pocketing sliders bring the outside in by accessing the covered porch, pool, and vaulted lanai. You can entertain right from your kitchen with guests at the breakfast bar but there are also pocketing “service windows” should you need to pass refreshments out to poolside friends. The owner’s suite has outdoor access (what true Florida ranch wouldn’t?) and a spacious bath with an original dual vanity and “Japanese” tiled shower. Did we already mention “mid-century” hipster vibe in some of these rooms? This home has a split plan so your guests will have plenty of privacy in their bed/bath combo on the far side of the house. The classic pool is large enough for laps and there is still plenty of yard left for gardening, pets or just plain old “elbow room”. The irrigation is from a well. The oversized garage has plenty of storage. Live here and you will NOT be in a flood zone. Live here and you will be on the same electrical grid as Blake Hospital. Needless to say this property was not impacted by the 2024 storm season and remains high and dry at 27 feet in elevation.

Those familiar with mid-century Sarasota might recognize this as a 1965 Ruth Richmond ranchette. That means we have a quality-built house. The extra steps Richmond Homes took are legendary and can still be found in surviving brochures. Superior lot preparation, material choices, efficient floor plans, large pocketing glass doors to bring the outside in for the Florida Lifestyle. But when you view this property dont expect to find frozen in time, kitschy features for this place has been transformed. Most buildings grow and adapt. Some that are well loved, become part of a continual flow as our needs and uses change over time. While this house still presents a modest exterior, what lies behind is now a three bed, two bath house, with a charming coastal cottage aesthetic. Inside you'll find a split plan, a private interior porch/courtyard, a luxurious master bath Ruth Richmond would have highly approved of (Ive seen her actual home on Bird Key) and a unique floorplan allowing multiple uses. Thats the difference today. We want home offices. We need room for live in family members. We want rental income. How about the Zoom Room? A second living room with a bar and kitchenette? This property has it all and functions as a fun, modern ranch just as well as a 2 bed 1 bath with an adjacent 1 bed 1 bath dwelling. Its a large lot in a non-deed restricted neighborhood so theres room for the boat or RV and still plenty of space for a garage or pool. This is what many people appreciate about the Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores neighborhood. Youll be surrounded by your neighbors pride of ownership in an eclectic bay front neighborhood but enjoy the freedom of avoiding planned communities with their exorbitant fees and regulations. Live here to be nestled between many of Sarasotas most prominent cultural and educational institutions. These include the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts, New College of Florida and the Ringling College of Art & Design. Just minutes north of downtown Sarasota and the Ringling Bridge which spans to serene Gulf of Mexico beaches on Lido and Longboat Key.

This 2-bed, one bath home with system updates (plumbing, AC, electrical service) will surprise you with architectural features reminiscent of the grand Mediterranean Revival estates nearby along Bay Shore Road. It sits far back on a deep lot leaving the spacious front yard a sunny spot for gardening. The entrance is through a covered screen porch with a flagstone floor. The decorative, solid wood front door has an original “speakeasy” window. The entry foyer is accented with a tile inlay mosaic. Most dramatic is the great room with a beamed, vaulted ceiling and a fireplace so large it probably once heated the entire house. Sliding doors open to the covered porch greatly expanding the indoor/outdoor living area. The primary bedroom with light streaming in from three sides, has a unique tile floor and decorative built ins for storage. The second bedroom, with a coffered ceiling of pecky cypress also has sliders leading to a large paver stone courtyard. Updates include granite counters in the small galley kitchen and a new tile floor in the bath but don’t forget to check out the “peachy” mid-century tiled walls. Other improvements you may not see are new water and waste lines, a newer AC system and 200-amp electrical service. The original, detached garage/carport was enclosed for storage space but could easily be “put back” to its original use. Maybe you would want to improve it and create more living space. It helps frame the courtyard creating and intimate and private space. This is a small house that lives large. If you have ever dreamed of living in and “Old Florida” Mediterranean manse but could not afford the price tag (or did not need the space) this is your chance to have one as a pied a terre in the City of Sarasota. This property is just up the road from the beautiful Indian Beach Park directly on the shore of Sarasota Bay and just a few parcels away from the Ringling College of Art and Design. Since it is less than 2 miles from downtown Sarasota don’t be surprised to see neighbors bicycling to the farmers market on Saturday. St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key are also just a short jaunt over the Ringling Bridge.

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. 5027 Remington Drive, in the Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores neighborhood is a unique opportunity. It has all the construction features needed today. Although, its 10 years young it was so progressively designed and built in 2010 I doubt it could be improved. All original plans exist as does the complete list of contractors and tradesmen involved. In short, this is a storm hardened, impact resistant, energy efficient home with more detail than can be shared in this space. 100% masonry walls, laminated glass, metal hip roof, insulated roof decking, instant hot water heaters and more. But this is like describing a high-performance, luxury automobile by focusing on the engine. Maybe you are more interested in the vaulted ceilings, polished concrete floors and open plan which feels like urban loft living. Or does a double en-suite, split floor plan rank higher on your list? Powder room for guests? Coolest, decorative, electric fireplace around? All stainless appliance package nestled into bright red, lacquered cabinets with smoke glass doors? Stainless steel kitchen counters with metallic back splash? Topping it all off is a house wide, covered, rear lanai overlooking the yard which clearly has room for a pool or accessory structure. This house is perfect as a lock it and leave it seasonal residence but I suspect the next occupant will be reluctant to ever leave. And, if you are reading this you already know we are just minutes from downtown Sarasota with immediate neighbors like the John & Mable Ringling Museum, the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts, New College of Florida and Ringling College of Art & Design.

NEW PRICE on this double lot in Sapphire Heights. Here's a rare opportunity to own a large single family homesite in the highly desirable museum area. But this property can also be divided creating 2 single family properties still considered "oversized"! This lot is close enough to Sarasota Bay to enjoy sunsets from Sun Circle Park on a daily basis but it's NOT in the flood zone. You're high and dry in this location with 143 feet of frontage and close to half an acre of land. You may pass on impact fees since an older cottage once sat here. It's now removed so you can start planning your dream home or homes! Build one now sited on a single lot and keep a lot for a future subdivide and another residence. Or, build two homes now. The property is adjacent to the Brywill-Bay Shore Historic District. Here you'll find some of the most grand, mediterranean styled homes in all of Sarasota. This neighborhood still shows the influence of John Ringling whose grand estate is just a couple blocks away. Live here and you will be surrounded by Sarasota's most prominent arts and educational institutions including the Asolo Theater, the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Sarasota Ballet, New College of Florida and more. Sapphire Heights is just two miles north of downtown Sarasota, close to the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key and near the University Parkway corridor anchored by the Sarasota Bradenton Airport on one end and the University Town Center shopping district on the other.

Move in Ready and not impacted by recent storms. Recently renovated 2 bed, 2 bath Villa in the sought after Center Gate Community. A change in plans has the owners putting this home on the market after recently completing significant upgrades & improvements in 2023 and 2024. A tiled front porch leads to a foyer entry and opens to the combined Living Room and Dining Room. The kitchen has been “opened up” to overlook the family room and the sight lines will take your eye through to the Florida Room, the greenspace and community pool beyond. This is now a wonderfully spacious open plan more suited for today’s lifestyles. These living areas have been made contiguous with gleaming Brazilian cherry laminate floors, crown molding and updated fixtures & fans. The kitchen has quartz counters and an ample breakfast bar with a “waterfall” countertop feature. This is also an “eat in kitchen” with room for a full-sized dinette. The stainless steel appliance package is from 2023 and a beautifully decorative backsplash pops with color. The adjacent utility room has matching counters and backsplash and works as a prep kitchen as much as an interior laundry. The principal bedroom has an ensuite bath with granite counters and a walk-in closet. The second bedroom has multiple closets and access to the second bath and tiled shower. The bedrooms are carpeted for coziness while the kitchen and utility room are tiled. Keep an eye out for the decorative inlay which is coordinated with the backsplash motif. What was a “sun porch” has been elevated to the floor height of the rest of the home and now has the same Brazilian cherry floors. This space is air conditioned and adds square footage to the overall living area. The oversized, 2-car garage has a rubberized floor and hurricane rated overhead door. The roof with gutters and sunroof were replaced a year ago and have a transferrable warranty. The plumbing has been relined (2024), impact resistant windows are throughout, and the new hot water heater was installed earlier this year. The Sellers would consider putting a Home Warranty on this property but just about everything is still under warranty! This home is ready for you to move right in and start enjoying one of the most convenient locations in all of Sarasota County. Live here and you are minutes away from Doctors Hospital, I 75, all your shopping needs and a host of restaurants and entertainment venues. This development is not in a flood zone and remained “high and dry” in 2024. There are still affordable and intelligent places to live in Sarasota and 5725 Center Pointe Lane is one of them.

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.

The Indian Beach neighborhood on Sarasotas north side is undergoing a renaissance of redevelopment. This includes vintage Mediterranean restorations from the Ringling era, mid-century moderns with international pedigree and new, contemporary construction exhibiting a liberating variety of styles. 3940 Bay Shore Road is a classic, Florida ranch right in the middle of all the action! Many original elements remain like terrazzo floors, a cypress paneled sunroom with a beamed ceiling and beautifully tiled baths reminiscent of the 1950s. The kitchen is large as are the windows providing long views over tropical foliage and allowing maximum light to stream in. There is enough character here to consider restoration and living on grade two lots from Sarasota Bay cannot be replaced. But clearly, this location is popular with those willing to make significant investment in new construction as dramatic homes are rising up on many nearby parcels. Indian Beach is nestled between many of Sarasotas most prominent cultural and educational institutions. These include the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts, New College of Florida and the Ringling College of Art & Design. Live and invest here to be just minutes north of downtown Sarasota and the Ringling Bridge which spans to serene Gulf of Mexico beaches on Lido and Longboat Key.

Fans of Mad Men architecture & design take note! Here's a 1966 classic built by Ruth Richmond & Richmond Homes. The 2 bed, 2 bath floor-plan is original and still has gleaming terrazzo floors throughout the entire place! Youll even find a whole set of crystallite knob hardware on the well-maintained kitchen cabinetry. And, while we appreciate the original character of a home built by craftsmen, we cant overlook sensitively introduced modern updates like 2 pane, insulated windows and a stainless-steel appliance package. The house has an open plan with a combined living & dining area flowing into the 200 square foot back porch. Pocketing sliders and a vaulted ceiling, both vintage Richmond features make this more than a seasonal nook. This porch space actually integrates in to the whole house floor plan when all the doors are open. There's even a set of sliders leading to the master bedroom. Open them all and your compact, mid-century ranch turns in to a lifestyle master piece. And wait until you see the 1,400 square foot, vaulted lanai enclosing a traditional kidney pool! An attached, single car garage and plenty of driveway has room for your boat or additional vehicles. All of this sits on an oversized, high and dry lot, NOT in the flood zone but close enough to stroll to Sarasota Bay for countless sunsets across the water. The Indian Beach neighborhood is nestled among Sarasota's oldest and most important institutions allowing easy access to Universities, museums, the cultural arts and more.
