About this home
Rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored vintage home with a detached art studio on a 10,000 SF double lot in one of Downtown Sarasota’s most desirable and evolving neighborhoods. Extensively renovated in 2020, the home features updated plumbing, electrical, windows, Hardie board siding, and numerous additional improvements, resulting in an effective year built of 2020. The property blends timeless character with modern functionality while offering exceptional flexibility and value.
Just steps from the 10-acre Gillespie Park, residents enjoy access to tennis and basketball courts, a scenic pond, dog park, fitness trail, playground, and shaded walking paths beneath majestic oak trees. The location is within walking distance of Downtown Sarasota’s restaurants, galleries, shopping, and entertainment venues, and only 0.7 miles from Sarasota Bay and The Bay, the city’s signature waterfront park.
With no HOA, no deed restrictions, DTN (Downtown Neighborhood) zoning, and potential benefits under Florida’s Live Local Act, this property offers unique opportunities for homeowners, investors, and entrepreneurs alike. The detached art studio provides an ideal live-work setting for artists, creatives, remote professionals, or anyone seeking dedicated workspace separate from the main residence.
Enjoy convenient access to Sarasota’s vibrant cultural scene, including the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe, Sarasota Orchestra, Bayfront Marina, and the city’s renowned arts, dining, and entertainment districts.
Whether you're seeking a primary residence, seasonal retreat, live-work property, or investment opportunity, this home offers a rare combination of historic charm, modern upgrades, generous outdoor space, and an exceptional downtown location.
Adjacent lot also available for purchase. Combined, the properties would create four contiguous lots totaling approximately 19,200 SF (0.44 acres), presenting a rare opportunity for additional space or future development in the heart of Downtown Sarasota....
