Spacious Mid-Century Ranch in Indian Beach. You will love the original architectural elements like honey colored oak floors, crown molding and dramatic, stacked stone fireplace. But the updates may impress more! Inside this home you will also find a newer, eat in kitchen with granite counters, a breakfast bar, and stainless-steel appliances. From this focal point you can see into the Living Room, perfect for cozying up to the fireplace and a separate dining room which feels more formal but has open walls allowing long site lines within the house and out over large lawns. A few steps down lead you to a unique family room. A high ceiling and sliding glass doors overlooking the lanai add to the feeling of space and light. Adjacent to this large, multi-functional room is a powder closet for guests and an interior laundry. Slide open the impact resistant glass doors to bring the outdoors in and your living/entertaining space just grew by another 800 square feet! The owner’s suite has a walk-in closet, dual vanities, and private access to the lanai. The additional two bedrooms, with cedar closets share a hall bath in a very traditional, ranch floor plan. There is an attached, two car garage, large, tiled mudroom, and a bonus room currently used for storage. This could easily be an office, bedroom or an income generating rental for a student from any of the multiple colleges and Universities nearby. All block construction, a hip style roof insurance companies love, plenty of crawlspace making renovations easier and an oversized, fenced yard which already has a multiple zone, well fed irrigation system. This property is close to Sarasota Bay, and you may wish to enjoy sunsets from the nearby Sun Circle Park. But it is NOT in a flood zone. This fact makes living in Paradise a bit more affordable. Indian Beach is 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota and just a short drive over the Ringling Bridge to St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key. Also close by is the University Parkway corridor anchored on one end by Sarasota Bradenton International Airport and the University Town Center shopping district on the other.
