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 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.

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.
