Welcome to Sapphire Heights surrounded by Sapphire Shores and Indian Beach which together form a trio of desirable neighborhoods West of the Trail in North Sarasota close to Sarasota Bay. You will find this unique 2 bedroom/2 bathroom home exudes charm and character. As you enter the front door your eyes will be drawn to the exotic slate flooring imported from India that flows throughout the house. You will also notice the light and bright great room combining the living and dining areas. There is also a den off the kitchen currently being used as a TV room. The open kitchen overlooks the great room. The kitchen reflects the owners passion for cooking as a former local chef and restauratuer himself! It boasts a 6 burner gas range which chefs will tell you is the only way to cook. Stainless steel appliances, a large farmers sink and butcher block counters as well as an island are a few of the fine features of this kitchen. There is a beautiful marble counter that divides the kitchen from the great room. Outdoors you will find a true wood burning brick pizza oven that will also bake bread. Both bathrooms have been updated with vanities with granite counters, bowl sinks and tiled shower enclosures. Inside laundry room is a plus. Windows were replaced with hurricane rated impact windows. Electrical panel was upgraded in 2008. A practical utility building was built in 2009 which could serve many purposes. You will be impressed with the low maintenance yard that abounds with all manner of tropical plants and trees. Relax on the trellis covered outdoor patio and watch nature unfold before your eyes. The home has great curb appeal with the front brick facade and the two brick pillars in front of the carport. The home is in the center of the "Arts" world in Sarasota with the Ringing Art Museum and Asolo Theatre just to the north and the Ringling School of Art a few blocks to the south. Sapphire Heights is only a short drive from the vibrant downtown where top of the line restaurants & performing arts venues abound. Over the Ringling Bridge you'll find the trendy shops of St. Armand's Circle and many more dining options. If it is beaches you are looking for be sure to explore Lido and Siesta Key, two world-class beaches that the community is very proud of! Only 15-20 minutes to drive. Don't forget to visit Sapphire Shores Park on the bay front to witness one of the spectacular Sarasota sunsets less than a mile away. Easy access to I-75, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport and UTC shopping Mall.
