The style of this home reflects the history and character of the original Sarasota School of Architecture and Design. The location is extraordinary - only a few blocks from Roberts Bay and less than a mile to Siesta Key Beach. Four bedrooms and three full bathrooms situated on a quiet, private, extra large double lot just minutes to world-renowned Siesta Key Beach and shopping and restaurants in Siesta Key Village. This property was damaged with the recent hurricanes. The matterport tour will show you the exact condition of the property today. The property appraised for $2,230,000 prior to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The current list price is aggressive and reflects a one-of-a-kind opportunity to renovate a historical home with tons of character back to its original quality, and will come with plenty of extra equity when complete due to the recent appraised value. The county also confirmed that this oversized double lot can be split providing an incredible opportunity for investors and developers to build two homes on these lots in an unbeatable location.
