Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to own a piece of Sarasota’s history or create your dream home in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. Seize the opportunity to restore a 1920s historic home back to its original charm or capitalize on the land’s value to build a custom estate. The existing 1925 main house is full of character and offers a unique opportunity for those with a vision to bring it back to life. Or, if you prefer, you can clear the lot and build a brand-new home tailored to your style and needs.
