Although you may find the pictures of this vintage cottage interesting, please know the “value is in the land”. This house has been occupied as recently as July 2021, but the structure requires significant TLC by most standards. The property is big enough to be two large single family homesites and that’s what is really being marketed. Over 15,000 square feet of land shaded by historic tree canopy in the Sarasota subdivision of Palm Grove. This is the upper reach of Whitaker Bayou and near many historic homes and long-time residences including the almost adjacent Sarasota Succulent Gardens. In fact, the property has belonged to the same family for almost 100 years which is why the relatively undisturbed, majestic landscaping is so magical. This opportunity presents several options…maybe put some sweat equity in to the cottage and continue with rental income or the finest “glamping” in town…maybe get busy on the subdivide and plan two new homes, each with an accessory dwelling unit recently approved by the City Commission…maybe bring your seasonal RV and park it minutes from downtown Sarasota, marinas, beaches, and shopping districts…whatever you choose you will be on some of the most coveted land of the last century in the City of Sarasota. Myrtle Avenue has been recently improved with sidewalks, cross walks and a roundabout. Booker High School, a nationally recognized Arts Magnet is a block away. The property sits between Ringling College of Art and Design and FSU’s honor program, New College of Florida. City water, city sewer, electric and natural gas provide a foundation for future development.

Here’s a 1956 Florida ranchette west of the trail in Indian Beach and just two blocks from the Ringling College of Art and Design. Get your Starbucks a block away on your “pedestrian commute” to school and stroll a couple blocks west in the evening to enjoy sunsets over Sarasota Bay. Location, location, location. This property is being sold As Is with Right to Inspect but there have been substantial improvements. It’s on City water and City sewer. The sewer line was replaced in 2015 . The roof was replaced in 2018. 150-amp electrical service seems to be plenty for a house this size. The central air is not working so the current resident uses window units and enjoys ample fresh air from the large awning style windows. The advertised living area does not include an enclosed porch or the inside utility room so if you get the central AC system working you might have a 1,000 square foot home on your hands. There’s also a large back porch and evidence of a once, elaborate irrigation system fed by well water. It will be your challenge to see how much of it still works. What I love are a few, still visible, mid-century elements like terrazzo floors, a half wall between the living room and kitchen and some kitschy, old aluminum posts around the front stoop and single car carport. The gable ends are also reminiscent of a bit of design flair. Clean it all up for a utilitarian investment property minutes away from downtown Sarasota or go for a creative renovation and bring back this vintage Florida “cottage”. Two bedrooms, one bathroom and a full size, single car carport.

Three bed, two bath, split plan, pool home in the Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores neighborhood. There is much to work with here including a brand new roof, updated electrical service, masonry construction, terrazzo floors, a corner lot with beautiful, long views, a large and sunny, resurfaced pool...but you will also find this is a project house and needs your TLC. Many will feel the kitchen needs replaced, the floors refinished and some windows repaired. As such, this house is being sold As Is and awaits your ideas. The location warrants additional investment being just two blocks off Bay Shore Road and near Sarasota's most expensive homes. Sun Circle Park is also nearby which is a friendly bay front park providing a beach launch for kayaks, SUP's, small sailing dinghy's and more...or simply take in the sunsets over Longboat Key while family enjoys the playground. This north side, west of Trail neighborhood is surrounded by Sarasota's most cherished cultural institutions including the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Theater for Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet, New College of Florida, USF, Ringling College of Art and Design and more. Just minutes from downtown Sarasota and a 12 minute ride over the John Ringling bridge to the shops of St. Armands and the gulf front beaches of Lido Key.

5-acre parcel perfect for your new homesite or a beautiful place to park some investment dollars. This property, covered with lush Bahia grass is currently used as pasture and already has a small retention pond. It is directly across from the east entrance to the newly developed Terra Nova Equestrian Center. This will be a world-class multi-discipline equestrian competition facility and residential development. You could not be closer to such a powerful value driver as Terra Nova. In addition, you are minutes away from all the East County attractions we have always loved like the Myakka State Park. Did you know this is the largest State Park east of the Mississippi? It is full of hiking trails, equestrian trails, camp sites and even RV hook ups. Nearby is the Crowley Museum and Nature Center which hosts live music and heritage events. They even have a completely rebuilt “Florida Cracker Dog Trot” called the Tatum House. Don't know what a Cracker Dog Trot is? Then you'll have to visit. Historic Old Miakka is also quite close reminding us this area has been a desirable place to live for well over a century. Look for the historical marker near the old schoolhouse. Need to shoot into town for something? State Route 70 is just to the north leading to Bradenton or meander your way back to Fruitville Road if you are heading into Sarasota. And don’t forget to stop at Stottlemeyer’s for some bar-b-cue and live music. Your neighbors will probably be there.

Two bed, two bath Palm model with an enclosed Florida room providing 1,262 square feet of air conditioned living space. This is a favored floor plan in Village Gardens because it has a great room, open plan with a vaulted ceiling and clerestory windows. This creates a feeling of light, bright spaciousness. And having the Florida room brought under air also brings the utility room (large enough for generous storage) inside. In addition, 4859 Village Gardens is a “back of property” unit with views of green space which might make you feel you are on the edge of a forest rather than looking over neighboring patios. The privacy of being on the end of a cul de sac, looking up and into tree canopy is unsurpassed in this community. But the most unique thing about this property is originality. This lightly lived in condo remains “un-remuddled” and looks much like it did in the early 1980’s. Would you believe it is looking chic, once again? Seeing an unadulterated unit reminds us how truly progressive the original developers were in their contemporary use of built in’s, finishes and floor plans. If 1982 is not your style, then take comfort in the fact you will not be undoing the “modernization” of others. Consider this one a “blank slate” to make your own. Village Gardens is a beautiful, park like setting with a stunning tree canopy and recreational facilities including a heated pool, pickle ball & tennis courts and a clubhouse with activities. Conveniently located just north of downtown Sarasota and near the University Parkway corridor providing quick access to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, UTC Mall and I75. Live here and you will also be near cultural & educational institutions like the Ringling Museum of Art & Design, Asolo Theatre of Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet, Ringling College of Art and Design and USF!
