For the first time since completing its transformation, we are offering our beloved home for rent. Available from September 1st. For the past four years, this house has been our private Mediterranean oasis in the heart of Sarasota. We are looking for tenants who will appreciate and care for it as much as we have. What makes this property truly special is its atmosphere. Surrounded by breathtaking ancient trees and abundant wildlife, it feels like a hidden sanctuary while remaining close to everything Sarasota has to offer. Every detail of the home was thoughtfully designed by my husband, and the more time you spend here, the more unique touches you'll discover. Inside the Home * 2 bedrooms (1 King bedroom, 1 Queen bedroom) * 2 full bathrooms with rain showers * Freestanding soaking tub in the primary bathroom * Chef's kitchen with concrete countertops * Separate butler's kitchen/pantry for appliances and storage * Living room * Dining room * Laundry room * 1.5-car garage Outdoor Living The outdoor space is the heart of this property. A magnificent oak tree, estimated to be over 300 years old, stands embraced by a banyan tree believed to be approximately 250 years old. The entire street is lined with mature oaks, creating a magical canopy and a uniquely private backyard experience. Additional outdoor features include: * Sparkling dip-in pool * Outdoor kitchen with granite countertops and grill * Fully fenced backyard * Outdoor shower * Mediterranean-inspired tropical landscaping * Dedicated natural habitat area for local wildlife The property sits along a bird migration route, making daily wildlife sightings part of life here. Egrets, parrots, and mockingbirds regularly visit, while rabbits, turtles, and the occasional raccoon can often be spotted throughout the seasons. Preserving this natural environment was important to us, which is why we intentionally left part of the backyard in its natural state. Prime Sarasota Location Just minutes from some of Sarasota's most desirable destinations: * Siesta Key Beach 10 minutes * Downtown Sarasota restaurants, galleries, marina, and nightlife 13 minutes * Lido Key Beach and St. Armands Circle 22 minutes * Red Bug Slough Preserve 1 minute by car, 10 minutes on foot, or 3 minutes by bike Important Notes This home offers convenience and accessibility to everything Sarasota has to offer. The backyard faces Proctor Road, so there is noticeable traffic noise. If complete silence and total seclusion are your top priorities, this may not be the ideal fit. If you appreciate being close to beaches, downtown, nature preserves, and everyday amenities, you'll likely love the location. This is a home with character, beauty, wildlife, and soul. We hope its next residents will enjoy it as much as we have. Owner pays for landscaping. Tenants pay for all utilities and pool maintainance. No smoking. Pets okay upon agreement.
