Surrounded by million-dollar homes and picturesque canal-lined streets, the setting alone makes this home truly special. Set on an expansive 0.40-acre lot, the property is anchored by a stunning, majestic banyan tree that creates unmatched curb appeal and Old Florida charm.

Built in 1956, this classic Florida-style home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2,325 square feet of living space. Inside, you’ll find timeless character throughout, including beautiful terracotta tile flooring accented with unique hand-painted tiles, along with artistic touches carried into the primary bedroom and shower. The outdoor space is designed for enjoying the Florida lifestyle, featuring a large, private pool ideal for laps, all enclosed within a fenced backyard and patio area for added privacy. A two-car garage with an attached workshop provides plenty of room for storage, hobbies, or projects. Recent updates include a 2025 shingle roof and an upgraded lift station for the septic system, offering peace of mind for the next owner. Whether you’re looking to enjoy it as-is, renovate, or build new, this property offers a rare combination of location, lot size, flexibility, and future potential just minutes from the beach, dining, and everything Sarasota has to offer.
