This restored vintage home sits in a rapidly evolving neighborhood becoming one of the city’s most desirable addresses.
Just steps from the beloved 10-acre Gillespie Park, featuring grand oaks, tennis and basketball courts, a scenic pond, dog park, fitness trail, and walking paths. Enjoy walking distance to Main Street, with its premier shops, galleries, and restaurants, and only 0.7 miles to Sarasota’s waterfront and The Bay, the city’s new 53-acre signature park.
This property lies within an Opportunity Zone with no HOA and no deed restrictions, offering exceptional flexibility for investors and developers. Close to the downtown business district and minutes from the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe, you’re surrounded by Sarasota’s vibrant cultural and commercial scene.

The location offers everything today’s buyers want—walkability, green space, and access to downtown and the bayfront.
Investment Strategies:
