In the "heart" of the most popular West of Trail neighborhood, step into a rare piece of Sarasota history just a short stroll to Southside Village restaurants and shops, downtown and two blocks to Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Behind a classic white picket fence, this 1926 home welcomes you with a generous yard framed by mature landscaping and colorful gardens. A cozy front porch sets the tone for your entrance into timeless architectural details which blend seamlessly with modern updates. Wood floors run throughout the living areas with natural light pouring in through numerous windows. Tall ceilings are complemented by original wood trim. All the details we love in an older home yet with many updates. The main home offers two thousand five hundred seventy-five square feet thoughtfully laid out for everyday living and entertaining. The main level features multiple living spaces, separate dining room, a guest bedroom, a dedicated office and laundry room. Upstairs, the spacious owner's suite plus an additional bedroom with ensuite bathroom provide comfort and privacy. The remodeled kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite counters and custom cabinetry AND....a charming three hundred six square foot studio-style guest cottage that has its own entrance and patio. COME SEE THIS BEAUTY, you will LOVE it.
