The Ringling House – Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort Nestled West of the Trail at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this 1923 Mediterranean Revival 4BR/3BA estate blends timeless elegance with updated living. Set on a gated, nearly double lot with lush tropical landscaping, heated pool, spa, and views of Hudson Bayou, this home offers privacy and serenity just steps from downtown Sarasota, Selby Gardens, and Southside Village. Original details like Saltillo tile, wood floors, high beamed ceilings, built-ins, and a classic fireplace showcase the home’s character. The updated kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, and a charming garden-view window. With two spacious primary suites—one upstairs, one down—plus two guest bedrooms and three modern baths, there’s room for everyone. French doors open to private patios, a courtyard pool area, and an extended outdoor entertaining space. A detached cabana/garage has been converted into a flexible recreation or guest space. New tile roof, hurricane windows, shutters, and refinished floors add peace of mind. Enjoy walkability to Sarasota’s best dining, arts, and bayfront attractions, and just a short drive to Siesta and Lido beaches. Ideal for full-time living, seasonal use, or income potential, The Ringling House is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of Sarasota history. Sold Turnkey!
