This property can only be described as a new/like new compound on Sarasota's near north side. The two bed, one bath Classic Florida, pool home has been completely updated. The list of improvements and upgrades is long, and details can be provided. There is a new roof, new electrical service, new wiring, new AC system, all new plumbing, impact resistant windows, a complete stainless-steel appliance package in the renovated kitchen, a convenient inside utility room and an office which could serve as a third bedroom or a private guest room with a separate entrance and dedicated parking. Some original elements remain adding much sought-after character like terrazzo floors, uniquely arched interior passageways and a cozy, screened in front porch. Outside you'll find new walkways, plenty of “behind the gate” parking and a spectacular new saltwater pool surrounded by an artistic paver patio. A hurricane rated gazebo provides shade and a gas fire pit will add excitement to your cool evening barbeques. The most unique aspect of this property is the large, detached garage with a full bath. 220V electrical service will allow for many tools like a car lift for the collector or a kiln for the serious hobbyist. There is even room for the boat, RV or other large equipment and recreational toys. Everything has been considered in designing this multifunctional property such as reinforced concrete driveways to carry heavier vehicles, underground utility chases for future improvements like irrigation & lighting projects and even a proposed interior layout for a loft/bedroom feature in the garage. The oversized corner lot has driveway access on two sides and the entire property is fenced and gated. If you are looking for “big property” features and “east county privacy” but want to be close to downtown Sarasota, this is clearly your best option. One mile north of downtown Sarasota and just a few blocks from the Ringling College of Art & Design.
