Three-bed, 2 bath pool home in the Indian Beach-Sapphire Shores neighborhood. To be more specific, this contemporary Florida ranch is in Indian Beach Estates, unique for larger lots and roomier homesites. This creates very long views of park like settings and provides a property large enough for a full outdoor lifestyle. A spacious circle drive welcomes you with paver accents and professional landscaping. There is a single car garage if needed but surface parking abounds. Notice the new roof upon entry and then realize almost every aspect of this home has been renovated and updated creating a sleek, modern ranch home with an open plan. Inside, there is plank tile throughout and multiple french doors allowing access to the back yard anchored by a new, saltwater pool with a waterfall feature and an alfresco dining alcove. Back inside there is a separate dining area adjacent to the kitchen which also has a handy breakfast bar or serving counter depending on the activity. The proximity of the kitchen to the dining room and the outdoor dining alcove will make your Florida entertaining seamless. The kitchen, while petite is top of the line with a Bosch induction cooktop, microwave, and dishwasher. All the appliances are stainless, and the newer cabinets have a unique lacquer finish giving an overall appearance of bright cleanliness. One bedroom is currently used as an office and the other reserved for guests, has a private entry to the covered outdoor entertaining terrace and pool. These two bedrooms share a full bath matching the contemporary décor of the entire home. The owner’s suite, with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath also has direct access to the large, covered, rear porch overlooking the back yard and pool. A recently installed well provides water for irrigation. The property is completely fenced, and the large tool shed has an adjacent covered work area you might find quite suitable for hobby work or outdoor exercising. Improvements you might not initially see but could be the most important include insulated windows, all new duct work, a spray foam insulated attic for energy efficiency, updated plumbing, recessed lighting on dimmers and plenty of built out closets, many with mirrored doors. Most know this neighborhood is anchored by Sarasota’s oldest and grandest institutions like the Sarasota Ballet, the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts, New College of Florida and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art which is right next door! Some of the neighborhood drama is provided by rows of majestic oak trees and views of historic Mediterranean styled museums. This property is close to everything Sarasota has to offer without sacrificing cul-de-sac like quietude and almost complete privacy in a back yard oasis.

Spacious Mid-Century Ranch in Indian Beach. You will love the original architectural elements like honey colored oak floors, crown molding and dramatic, stacked stone fireplace. But the updates may impress more! Inside this home you will also find a newer, eat in kitchen with granite counters, a breakfast bar, and stainless-steel appliances. From this focal point you can see into the Living Room, perfect for cozying up to the fireplace and a separate dining room which feels more formal but has open walls allowing long site lines within the house and out over large lawns. A few steps down lead you to a unique family room. A high ceiling and sliding glass doors overlooking the lanai add to the feeling of space and light. Adjacent to this large, multi-functional room is a powder closet for guests and an interior laundry. Slide open the impact resistant glass doors to bring the outdoors in and your living/entertaining space just grew by another 800 square feet! The owner’s suite has a walk-in closet, dual vanities, and private access to the lanai. The additional two bedrooms, with cedar closets share a hall bath in a very traditional, ranch floor plan. There is an attached, two car garage, large, tiled mudroom, and a bonus room currently used for storage. This could easily be an office, bedroom or an income generating rental for a student from any of the multiple colleges and Universities nearby. All block construction, a hip style roof insurance companies love, plenty of crawlspace making renovations easier and an oversized, fenced yard which already has a multiple zone, well fed irrigation system. This property is close to Sarasota Bay, and you may wish to enjoy sunsets from the nearby Sun Circle Park. But it is NOT in a flood zone. This fact makes living in Paradise a bit more affordable. Indian Beach is 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota and just a short drive over the Ringling Bridge to St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key. Also close by is the University Parkway corridor anchored on one end by Sarasota Bradenton International Airport and the University Town Center shopping district on the other.

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.
