This 3-bed, 2 ½ bath, pool home might have everything you’re looking for in Indian Beach. There just isn’t anything missing! We begin with a large corner lot well elevated above the street helping keep things “high and dry” and providing wonderful views down toward Sarasota Bay. Next, add a sturdy block ranch home with a hip roof and impact resistant, hurricane windows. The insurance companies will like those features. Two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath, and the large utility room could easily be converted to a 4th bedroom (it was a bedroom once before). The nice surprise and some of the most recent updates include the creation of an owner’s suite which almost functions like an “in law” apartment. That’s what it was originally designed for. It has a small reading nook, two walk in closets, dual vanities and a spacious 20-foot by 20-foot floor plan. Rounding out the “bedroom wing” is a half bath which also has access to the pool and outdoor entertaining area. The “public area” of the home is an open floor plan including a large kitchen overlooking the combined Living/Dining room. This spacious arena is a comfortable place for family but also a very cool entertaining space. A granite topped, full length breakfast bar smartly adds a casual dining option, in addition to a more formal dining room set. The kitchen, with a 4-burner gas range, also looks out over the back porch, pool and lanai which is accessed by twin French doors on each end of the galley. A walk-in pantry will have you staying well stock up on provisions. There are beautiful, engineered hardwood floors throughout, many newer fixtures and updated systems. There is an oversized 2 car garage on Virginia Drive and a tall carport on Bon Air Ave suitable for a boat or recreational vehicle. A well provides water for the irrigation system and creates a gardener’s dream opportunity. This property is one block from Indian Beach Park which is a wonderful place to watch sunsets, toss a ball for a dog and launch kayaks and paddle boards. Live here and you are also just one block from the Ringling College of Art & Design, 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota and just a short drive up and over the John Ringling Bridge to St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key.
