We've been traveling to Sarasota for 30 years. Over the past two years we have been slowly renovating a 1925 Old Florida Spanish stucco house. We continue to explore all the amazing amenities in Sarasota and the surrounding area. We haven't come close to getting everywhere. Our most recent discovery was the Siesta Key Rum distillery. Great way to make an amazing Mai Tai or Pina Colada. They do tours. We'd love to host you.

Close to everything; downtown Sarasota, walk/bike/drive to Southside Village both featuring multiple bistros, bars, restaurants and boutique shopping. 5 miles to St. Armand's and Lido Beach and 6 miles to Siesta Beach (2 to the Key). The Legacy Trail bike route to Venice is now at Shade Avenue, 9 blocks from the house. The neighborhood is residential, close to schools and CORE SRQ but on a busy street.There's also a community pool, tennis courts and park in Arlington Park, about 4 blocks. Trader Joe's, Publix etc are a short drive. Downtown Sarasota with its many restaurants, shops, Farmer's market, theaters, art galleries, Whole Foods and on and on is less than 2 miles.

One of the few remaining Spanish style homes from the 1920's, our house boasts old Florida charm with wood floors (squeaky), stucco and archways. The backyard was landscaped spring 2022 and is fully fenced and gates for a private yard providing lots of options from al fresco dining, sitting around the fire pit, reading or napping in the hammock and taking a refreshing shower outdoors in the Cape Cod outdoor shower (enclosed).
