Rich in Sarasota history, this home was originally built for the grove master when the surrounding area was covered in orange groves owned by the Palmer family. Today, it has been thoughtfully restored while preserving its authentic Old Florida charm. There has been nearly $100,000 in recent improvements and renovations that have been completed, including a new roof, soffit, fascia, gutters, landscaping, doors, hurricane impact windows, foundation support and encapsulation with a 25-year warranty, updated plumbing and electrical systems, newer A/C, plantation shutters, flooring, and more. The home was professionally lifted with an entirely new foundation in 2020, giving buyers peace of mind while maintaining the integrity and character of this historic gem.
Inside, luxury vinyl flooring that resembles the original pine flooring flows throughout the home, complemented by crown molding, abundant natural light, and designer touches in every room. The inviting living room features custom shelving and a charming brick fireplace. The beautifully updated kitchen showcases stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, decorative tile accents, and a breakfast bar ideal for casual dining and entertaining. Each bedroom offers its own cozy charm, while the thoughtfully designed laundry room includes built-in storage for added functionality.
Situated on an oversized lot, the possibilities are endless. The spacious backyard offers ample room for a pool, expansion of the existing home, or the addition of a garage with an ADU above for exceptional rental income potential.
The paved driveway leads to a charming car cabana, while the detached shed provides additional storage for items like bicycles and garden tools. With no HOA, no CDD fees, and no rental restrictions, this property offers unmatched flexibility for homeowners and investors alike.
Residents enjoy easy access to the beloved Arlington Park & Aquatic Complex featuring a 50-meter lap pool, instructional pool, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, playground, outdoor fitness gym, walking trails, and a dog park. Ideally located near Sarasota Memorial Hospital, shopping, dining, and entertainment, this home offers both convenience and lifestyle appeal. Just minutes away, downtown Sarasota awaits with fine dining, boutique shopping, cultural attractions, marinas, and the iconic The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art — all part of what makes Sarasota one of Florida’s premier coastal destinations.
