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.

At the quiet end of an in town cul de sac is where youll find this much-loved, mid-century charmer. Youll be greeted by the humble ranch exterior but like many of these little design gems, treasures await you inside! The first big surprise is richly colored terrazzo throughout this three-bed, two bath split plan, pool home. Theres a unique step down in the original floors helping define the living and dining areas. Maybe youll want to try and replace the long gone wrought iron railings which may have been here? That might be all you have to do because the kitchen has been opened up and modernized. Now, from a cozy breakfast bar you can overlook the entire living area which sprawls out to the Florida room with a period appropriate, wood burning fireplace. Sight lines extend further out to the large pool and lanai beyond. This is a house to be lived in. Large Living Room. Large Florida Room. Large Lanai. Large Pool. Theres even a spacious covered porch adjacent to the pool which means a summer rain shower wont disrupt your entertaining. The split plan provides comfortable degrees of separation between your master en-suite and family, guests or the now common Zoom Room and home office. Topping it off is an interior laundry room with outdoor access and a carport with a portico entryway to the front door.

Contemporary homes can appear simple and modest when driving by. Large expanses of stucco and seemingly windowless walls. But once inside inspiration can be found everywhere. Particularly in those designed with interior courtyards and many private spaces. This well maintained, 1957 International Contemporary has these elements in a split plan designed with private suites and bedrooms separated from more public and open living area; separated by corridors and courtyards. Today, this is a four bed, three bath, pool home with a 2-car garage. These specs alone check most of the boxes but then add the panache of living in a home with beamed & vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, walls of glass and multiple sliders to get outside for recreation and entertaining in your professionally landscaped, fenced yard. It sits on an oversized lot in the Uplands, a hidden oasis on Sarasotas north side nestled between the Ringling Museum complex and New College of Florida to the south and USF Sarasota Manatee to the north. But more remarkable is the protected bay front where neighbors enjoy some of last remaining undeveloped waterfront property on Sarasota Bay. Diving Osprey and magnificent bald eagle sightings are an almost daily occurrence for the residents of this unpretentious patch of old Florida. Undetermined architectural pedigree means all this could be yours for about a third of where might start pricing known Sarasota School of Architecture properties. Be sure and view the 3D property tour attached to this listing.

The kitchen has a stainless appliance package which includes an induction range & range hood, a French door refrigerator & freezer with an icemaker and a dishwasher. Design elements include striking quartz countertops, tile backsplash, Shaker cabinets and a farm sink. The breakfast bar and pass through have been enlarged opening long sight lines into the combined Dining & Living room. This “great room” has a vaulted ceiling and a clerestory window allowing light to stream in from above. The lanai has been fully enclosed adding to the total Living Area. It’s accessible from the Living Room and the Owner’s Suite and leads to a large brick paver patio perfect for outdoor entertaining. This “Pine Model” is a two-bed, two bath “split plan” property making it a comfortable place for roommates and guests. The baths have both been updated with custom frameless glass showers, Linker Stone floors and quartz counters. Closets are built out with adjustable shelving behind Shaker style interior doors aligning design elements through the entire home. Throughout, you will find luxury vinyl flooring, wide baseboards, recessed lighting and Plantation shutters. There is an interior laundry, a newer AC system and even “whole house” surge protection. The property has been “re-piped” and all drainage lines were recently lined. Other important features include impact resistant “hurricane” windows, a natural gas hot water heater and attic access for storage. There is also exterior storage for beach toys and gardening tools. Village Gardens is one of Sarasota’s hidden gems! It’s a peaceful, tree-canopied community with many recreational amenities including a pool, pickle ball & tennis courts and a clubhouse with activities. It’s just minutes to downtown Sarasota and all north side cultural & educational institutions including the Ringling Museum of Art & Design, Asolo Theatre of Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet, Ringling College of Art and Design and USF!
