About this House

BANK OWNED! This diamond in the rough is a quaint cottage-style residence that can be polished until it shines like new again! The great room floor plan opens to the kitchen and there is a bonus/FL room for additional living space. The recent remodel has provided upgrades that include modern cabinetry in the kitchen as well as granite surfaces including a snack bar. Additional features include ceramic tiled flooring, crown moldings, French doors, vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting and a wood-burning fireplace. Waiting to be revitalized, this home is situated on over a half an acre on a quiet dead-end street. Bring your boat/R.V because there aren?t any deed restrictions. It is just on the outskirts of the city, close to nearly every cultural event that Downtown Sarasota has to offer as well as very near area beaches, championship golf, shopping dining and more!

    "Quiet streets, Philippe creek, close to beaches and downtown It’s a nice neighborhood to live in. Neighborhoods mostly keep to themselves but are mostly friendly when you run into them on the street walking your dog or just taking a walk. There’s a nice park close by with a dog park. "

    "Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores is a wonderful, diverse, friendly neighborhood. Beautiful area, much nicer and safer than surrounding areas. I will say that neighbors move in and out too frequently for there to be substantial community, and public transit is accessible but not the best. "

    "Variety of home styles brings in variety of residents, permanent and seasonal. Rules are strict and neighborhood monitors report the smallest of violations, such as leaving your garbage bins out late if you have a long day or putting them out too early,not pruning dried palm fronds immediately, and not planting garden areas to match neighbors. If you are not here full time or are away on vacation you must hire someone to be sure you don’t violate any of the very picky rules. Residents have little use of the club, tennis, pickleball or golf courses without paying exorbitant fees. Having said that, as an elderly woman living alone I feel safe in this development. The safety patrol is responsive and will come 24-7 if you have a concern. Not much of a neighborhood feel."
