Have you been dreaming of a charmed life West of the Trail without the multi-million-dollar price tag that often comes with it? This fantastic property in historic & ideally located McClellan Park is the prime opportunity you have been waiting for! Spacious and well laid out inside plus an amazing amount of pristine outdoor space on a 1/3-acre lot, it is the perfect combination for comfortable living. McClellan Park is known for its meandering streets, lovely mix of historic and newer homes, and excellent walking-distance proximity to the shops of Southside Village, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and desirable Southside Elementary. This property features an idyllic & extremely private salt-water pool with spotless turf & a pretty walled perimeter, loads of storage space (a rarity in a 1960s home!), plus a separate detached 2-car garage that makes space for 4 (yes, you read that right!) vehicles total. Both garages are air conditioned so they also can be easily used as a home gym, art studio, workshop or whatever other kind of space your heart & lifestyle desires! The tropical landscaping is immaculate and easy to maintain, making it a perfect lock & leave seasonal or vacation home, and there is a huge covered patio and second fenced yard to enjoy in addition to the outdoor space surrounding the pool. The property also features impact windows & doors, a brand new pool pump (2024), a Kinetico water purification system, sleek epoxy garage floors, and many other updates completed in the past few years. Existing structure had slight water damage and has been remediated, so the choice is yours whether to repair and live in the existing home or build new! This rare location simply cannot be beat - you are truly in the center of it all but with a quiet neighborhood feel - and it is mere minutes to vibrant downtown Sarasota, the renown sands of Siesta Key, and the shopping destination of St. Armands Circle. Everything will be at your fingertips here in marvelous McClellan Park, where your new life awaits...
