Experience unparalleled views of Sarasota Bay and a true sanctuary of native wildlife, from the resident dolphins and manatees to flocks of migrating birds. Located in the highly desirable neighborhood of Sapphire Shores, considered to be the next West of Trail Hot Spot, this presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of prime Sarasota Bayfront property. Situated on 0.57 acres with 189 feet of waterfront, this property offers spectacular views of the bay and the Ca d'Zan, the historic former home of John and Mabel Ringling. The 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom mid-century home exudes old Florida charm, featuring a walled courtyard at the entry with a mature garden, 2-car garage, separate den, study, heated pool, and an oversized screened porch. Additionally, the home features an open floor plan with a newer kitchen and island seating. There are hardwood floors throughout the main living area and walls of windows that showcase the surreal views of the bay and the painted sky at sunset. Just a block from Sapphire Shores Park, a beloved neighborhood gathering place. The property is also centrally located, minutes from the Ringling Museum of Art, and the Asolo Theater. Its proximity also offers easy access to downtown Sarasota for shopping, dining, and world-famous beaches.
