This 2 bed, 2 bath, red brick bungalow in Sapphire Heights has everything you need including architectural curb appeal, terrazzo floors and a large, eat in kitchen. The spacious living room has windows on three sides and French doors leading to a bedroom suite which you may find suited for an office or den with cypress paneling and built-in bookshelves. The kitchen has solid wood cabinets, plenty of counter space and room for your dinette. The primary bedroom is quite large and has a private bath. A bonus room with unique, herring bone tile floors provides access to the shaded back yard and could serve multiple functions like a quiet work from home space or "sleeping porch" for guests. An original carport with a utility room matches the distinctive design of this house and makes it easy to carry in the groceries. There's room to garden, relax in privacy or let the pets run in the back yard which also has a storage shed. This property is well above flood zones yet close enough to the waterfront to enjoy sunsets over Sarasota Bay. You will also find this opportunity is close to considerably more valuable homes and large lots. Whether it's your first place or the last, this unique midcentury has design features worthy of your creative touch and the functionality of a well laid out mini ranch. All this just minutes from Sarasota's most significant cultural attractions including the Ringling Museum, Asolo Theater, Ringling College of Art & Design, the University of South Florida and New College of Florida. 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota, a 12-minute drive to St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key and an almost equal distance to the University shopping corridor anchored by UTC Mall.
