Now priced below a recent appraisal of $850,000! This two-story home originally built in 1925 is tucked beneath a canopy of mature oaks in Sarasota's charming Indian Beach neighborhood, offering privacy, character, and an exceptional location just one block from the bay yet safely outside the flood zone. The main residence includes 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with all bedrooms located on the second floor, and is ideal for a buyer ready to renovate and reimagine a truly unique property. The great room features 10' ceilings, a gas fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling French doors opening to a private courtyard. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a loft-style living area, while the primary suite enjoys its own balcony. While lovingly maintained, the home's interior finishes and layout are dated and will require renovation, presenting an opportunity to modernize and add value. A 2007 addition includes a two-car garage and a detached studio apartment with a full bath, offering flexible space for guests or creative use. Indian Beach is one of Sarasota's most desirable historic neighborhoods, close to the Ringling Museum, Asolo Theater, Bay Park Conservancy, downtown Sarasota, SRQ Airport, St. Armands Circle, and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key. A rare chance to buy below appraised value in a coveted neighborhood-close to the water, high and dry, and ready for its next chapter.
