MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT + $15,000 SELLER CREDIT TOWARDS BUYER'S CLOSING COSTS, RATE BUY-DOWN OR OTHER ALLOWABLE CONCESSION - Brand new compressor installed August 2026. Welcome to your own private slice of Old Florida Charm in the heart of Sarasota. If you've been searching for a home with flexible two level living space for extended family, frequent guests, or a dedicated work-from-home lifestyle, this one of a kind Sarasota Highlands property offers possibilities you wont find in a traditional floor plan. This unique mid century pool home offers character, flexibility, and endless possibilities just minutes from world famous beaches, shopping, dining and entertainment. Unlike many newer homes, this thoughtfully designed layout offers multiple living areas, cedar beam ceilings, hardwood flooring, and a stunning freestanding wood burning fireplace that serves as the centerpiece of the home. The updated kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and opens to a comfortable gathering space designed for everyday living and entertaining. The flexible floor plan includes a bonus room with a closet that can easily function as a 5th bedroom, home office, gym, or hobby space. Upstairs, you'll find a private living area that can also function as traditional primary suite with a kitchenette, two rooms with closets, a full bathroom, and a spacious loft-style den, making it ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or a private retreat. Outdoor living shines with 3 separate lanais, including two covered front lanais, and a large screened lanai surrounding the inground pool/spa. Relax beneath the palms, unwind in a hammock, entertain poolside, or enjoy Florida evenings in your own tropical backyard oasis. A separate shower located in the garage provides the perfect place to rinse off after a day at the beach, boating, yard work, or poolside relaxation. Major updates include an upgraded kitchen (2020), central A/C (2016), air handler (2021), water heater (2026), upstairs A/C unit (2017), pool heater (2020), pool pump (2018), termite tenting and treatment (2020), a metal roof that was resealed in 2019 and privacy fencing installed in recent years for added peace of mind.
