1031 INDIAN BEACH DRIVE SARASOTA FL 34234 Sold 05/30/2024

Overview of 1031 Indian Beach Dr

Don't miss this home for sale in Indian Beach Sapphire Shores! This 2-bed, one bath home with system updates (plumbing, ac, electrical service) will surprise you with architectural features reminiscent of the grand mediterranean revival estates nearby along bay shore road. It sits far back on a deep lot leaving the spacious front yard a sunny spot for gardening. The entrance is through a covered screen porch with a flagstone floor. The decorative, solid wood front door has an original “speakeasy” window. The entry foyer is accented with a tile inlay mosaic. Most dramatic is the great room with a beamed, vaulted ceiling and a fireplace so large it probably once heated the entire house. Sliding doors open to the covered porch greatly expanding the indoor/outdoor living area. The primary bedroom with light streaming in from three sides, has a unique tile floor and decorative built ins for storage. The second bedroom, with a coffered ceiling of pecky cypress also has sliders leading to a large paver stone courtyard. Updates include granite counters in the small galley kitchen and a new tile floor in the bath but don’t forget to check out the “peachy” mid-century tiled walls. Other improvements you may not see are new water and waste lines, a newer ac system and 200-amp electrical service. The original, detached garage/carport was enclosed for storage space but could easily be “put back” to its original use. Maybe you would want to improve it and create more living space. It helps frame the courtyard creating and intimate and private space. This is a small house that lives large. If you have ever dreamed of living in and “old florida” mediterranean manse but could not afford the price tag (or did not need the space) this is your chance to have one as a pied a terre in the city of sarasota. This property is just up the road from the beautiful indian beach park directly on the shore of sarasota bay and just a few parcels away from the ringling college of art and design. Since it is less than 2 miles from downtown sarasota don’t be surprised to see neighbors bicycling to the farmers market on saturday. St. Armands circle and the beaches of lido and longboat key are also just a short jaunt over the ringling bridge.
