This charming bungalow, walking distance to downtown Sarasota, located less than 15 miles from Siesta Key Beach and even closer to Lido Beach and St. Armand’s Circle is in the heart of it all. A 1940’s beauty that was restored and updated. From the stunning copper color metal roof, to the restored original heart pine floors, you'll fall in love with this two bedroom, two bath cottage. A new air conditioning unit was installed in 2020 that cools the entire home, including the garage efficiently. The kitchen/dining room boasts a SubZero refrigerator, dishwasher, gas stove and generous cabinet space with wrap around windows. The living room expands from the fire place on the north wall to the wall of windows on the south wall. The master suite is complete with a beautiful custom tiled bathroom and walk-in closet. The hall bathroom has the original 1940's black and white basket weave tile, large porcelain tub and updated vanity. The second bedroom is spacious and bright. There is extra attic storage with easy access from pull-down stairs. The attached garage comes with front loading washer and dryer. A gorgeous flagstone pathway added in 2021 leads from the driveway to the front door. Cobblestone pavers in the backyard make for easy upkeep and there is a privacy fence. This unique home in Historic Gillespie Park is situated on a large fenced corner lot, with mature oak trees and a Norfolk pine tree in a picturesque, history rich, community with both historic homes and new construction. Located within three blocks of downtown Sarasota with world-class restaurants, shopping, local brewery, the bay front and marina. All new AC ductwork installed 12/22.
