Located within the Sarasota city limits and allowing short term rentals, this 3 bedroom, 1 bath home presents a great opportunity for buyers looking to add value or investors seeking flexibility in a high demand area. Owned by the same family since it was built, this solid block home offers a functional layout with original terrazzo floors that run through much of the interior, ready to be restored or incorporated into a custom renovation. The living spaces are filled with natural light, and the kitchen provides a workable footprint that can be updated to suit modern tastes. All three bedrooms offer comfortable proportions, allowing flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. A large utility room adds valuable storage and workspace, enhancing everyday functionality. The bathroom features classic tile and a tub and shower combination. Outside, the fully fenced yard offers privacy and room to enjoy outdoor living, with mature trees providing shade. A gated concrete driveway allows for secure parking, and a detached storage shed adds even more utility for tools, equipment, or projects. Additional highlights include no HOA, no flood zone and a roof approximately five years old. Set in a quiet residential area with long term neighbors, the location offers convenient access to downtown Sarasota, beaches, dining, and shopping. This property is well suited for buyers ready to bring their vision to life, whether as a primary residence, renovation project, or income producing short term rental. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
