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.

Enjoy a maintenance free, Florida Lifestyle in this spacious 3-bed, 2 bath, ground floor condominium in Waterlefe Golf and River Club. This enclave of "townhome style" condominiums on Discovery Terrace are beautifully appointed with Mediterranean architectural features and large paver stone driveways and walkways.

On the morning sun side of this home is the open plan, living area with a designated dining room, a large, central kitchen island, and a comfortable family room. The entire great room opens to the spacious, double wide lanai and this specific location has long views down the 8th fairway and the tree line along the Manatee River beyond. This view is also available from the master suite and it creates a sense of privacy and space. Other amenities to be found in the “owner’s enclave” include a walk-in closet, double vanities and a “degree of separation” from the two guest bedrooms because this split plan gives everyone their privacy. But most important is the Community. Waterlefe Golf & River Club has something for every generation. The full list of amenities is too long for this space but include the River Club clubhouse, a restaurant, sunset tiki bar, Junior Olympic swimming pool, fitness center and a host of social activities. You can even choose a Golf Club membership or Marina membership with available boat slips on the Manatee River. There are kayak racks by a comfortable launch, a playground for the little ones and nature trails for the bird watchers. You will find something for everyone in Waterlefe Golf & River Club.
