Property Description

A Rare Piece of Sarasota History in the Heart of Arlington Park. Originally built in 1924, this Arlington Park home has been completely rebuilt from the ground up, combining the charm and character of a historic Sarasota home with the peace of mind that comes from having so much of the home essentially new. Nearly every major component of both the main house and detached guest house is approximately three years old, including the foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, Hardie Plank siding, gutters, eaves, interior and exterior paint, plantation shutters, kitchens, bathrooms, and more. Inside the main house, you'll find two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dedicated office/den that is currently set up as a combination bedroom and office, plus a large flex room that can easily become a family room, dining room, or media room. There's plenty of room to make the home work for the way you actually live. The custom kitchen was designed with storage and functionality in mind, featuring custom cabinetry with pull-out drawers that make it easy to keep everything organized and within reach. The primary suite is a great place to escape at the end of the day, featuring a walk-in closet and beautifully finished en-suite bathroom with a huge his-and-hers walk-in shower. Yes, there's actually room for two! And then there's the backyard. The main home has a brand-new pergola with beautiful outdoor seating and plenty of privacy, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee, dinner outside, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home. The guest house has its own new pergola and private outdoor seating as well, giving everyone their own space to relax. The detached guest house is anything but an afterthought. It has its own bedroom, full bathroom, custom kitchen, walk-in closet, and living room, along with its own inviting outdoor space. Whether you need room for visiting family, a private office, multigenerational living, or an opportunity for rental income, this space gives you options that are hard to find in Arlington Park. Now let's talk about parking—because this is where this property really stands out. The detached three-car garage, two separate driveways, and oversized parking area provide room for three vehicles in the garage, plus space for two boats, an RV, and four additional vehicles. Finding this kind of parking in Arlington Park is no easy task. For those who love getting outside, Arlington Park puts you close to Sarasota's trail network and recreational amenities. From the neighborhood, you can enjoy the local walking and biking paths and make your way toward Payne Park, which provides access to the Legacy Trail system. You also have Arlington Park's own aquatic center, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, dog park, playground, outdoor fitness area, and scenic walking trails right in the neighborhood. And the location? It's hard to beat. Downtown Sarasota, Southside Village, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, the Sarasota Farmers Market, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, St. Armands Circle, Lido Key, and Siesta Key are all just minutes away. Historic charm, modern updates, a guest house, two new outdoor entertaining areas, incredible parking, and a location in one of Sarasota's most beloved neighborhoods—this is one of those Arlington Park properties that offers a little bit of everything and plenty of room to make it your own.
