This charming two-bedroom, one-bath Florida cracker home in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Sarasota, the historic Maine Colony neighborhood, is one of the few remaining cottages that has weathered the ever-changing face of Sarasota. This is your opportunity to own it! Built in 1930, the home is lovingly perched on almost half an acre and is barely 4 miles to the sparkling sands of world-famous Siesta Key. There’s plenty of room for expansion and enough land to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (subject to county regulations). The house is flanked by a 14-by-30-foot oversized one-car garage and a large pavilion, wonderful for outdoor entertaining. It’s even been utilized to host a fanciful outdoor wedding. Inside, you’ll find all the charm you are expecting with lots of rich wood, French doors, streaming sunlight and all the necessities of home. Upstairs, you’ll note ductwork available to air condition the large, standing attic space which could be transformed into more living area. The possibilities seem endless! Newer renovations include: roof 2018; plumbing 2020; county water and sewer 2019; AC with UV light 2018; pavilion 2020; garage 2019; washer/dryer 2020. Outdoors, there is a well for irrigation. The historic Maine Colony is a hidden gem of a neighborhood and is acknowledged with the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood is peppered with colorful and cozy little Florida cottages along the banks of Phillippi Creek. Anchored by the Phillippi Crest Clubhouse, this community allows the use of this "Old Florida" property for parties and gatherings and has regular concerts and events. More information can be found for the Phillippi Crest Community Club online with incredible videos of the neighborhood from the 1930s.
