Rare opportunity to own a private retreat with space, flexibility, and an unbeatable location-all set on nearly an acre (.80 acres) in Sarasota. Properties like this are incredibly hard to find, offering no HOA, no CDD fees, and no deed restrictions. This well-maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bath home has been thoughtfully updated and offers excellent potential for expansion. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system, water heater, washer and dryer (2021), new kitchen appliances (2024), and a new shingle roof on the home along with a metal roof on the detached garage (2023). Set back from the road for added privacy, the property features a spacious open floor plan with flexible living options to suit a variety of lifestyles. The large lanai just off the kitchen and living area creates a perfect indoor-outdoor flow for relaxing or entertaining. One of the standout features is the impressive 30' x 30' detached garage, complete with two garage doors, an attached shed for additional storage, and its own electrical panel with a 220-amp receptacle-ideal for a workshop, business use, or hobbyist needs. With ample space for storage, recreation, or future customization, this property offers endless possibilities. Enjoy the privacy of a large homesite while being just minutes (approximately 5 minutes) from schools, shopping, dining, and Sarasota's beautiful beaches. Move-in ready and full of potential-this is a truly unique opportunity you don't want to miss.
