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.

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.
