Unique 1936 colonial home in the heart of Sarasota. Located on an expansive corner lot in one of Sarasota's most desirable neighborhoods, just one block from Selby Gardens and within walking/biking distance to downtown. The flexible layout allows for one grand residence or three separate living areas, making it ideal for extended family, multi-generational living, guests, or a work-from-home setup. The main living area features a cozy fireplace and an open flow into the family room, with French doors leading to the first-floor primary suite. The second floor includes two ensuite bedrooms with access to a private guest suite, which has its own entrance, living room, den, and full bath. A ground-floor studio provides the perfect space for an art studio, yoga room, home office, or private retreat. The home offers modern comforts while maintaining its historic charm, with beautiful hardwood floors, an updated kitchen with a dumbwaiter to the second floor, an elevator for convenience, and skylights that fill the space with natural light. Recent upgrades include a new roof in 2024, updated plumbing and electrical, and three separate A/C zones. The oversized garage includes workshop space, and the expansive lot provides room for a pool or additional landscaping. While the home carries a rich history, it is not designated historic, allowing for future customization. Bayfront Park is only steps away, offering stunning sunset views over the John Ringling Bridge. Originally built in 1936 and relocated across the street in the 1980s, the home was placed on a raised cement block foundation to meet flood guidelines while preserving its architectural character. A significant second-floor addition was completed in 2003 and expanded the home to over 4,000 square feet, adding additional living areas, a bathroom, an atelier with skylights, and bringing the total to five bedrooms and four bathrooms. This unique property blends character, space, and an unbeatable location.
