This spacious 3-bedroom, 3 full bath, 2 half bath home with a private in-law suite is situated on a rare corner double lot, offering tremendous upside potential for investors, developers, or end users. The property already features key upgrades including newly renovated bathrooms on the main level, a hurricane-rated roof and windows, three AC units installed in 2016, a detached air-conditioned workshop, and a private entrance to the in-law suite. Inside, the home showcases timeless architectural elements, including handmade Mexican Saltillo tile, Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, and an open-concept kitchen outfitted with high-end stainless steel appliances. A large enclosed lanai with a wood-burning fireplace opens to a screened-in pool area with a custom rock waterfall, offering the perfect layout for indoor-outdoor living. Located on a quiet dead-end street and surrounded by lush landscaping, this home is just minutes from downtown Sarasota, Lido Beach, St. Armands Circle, shopping, dining, the arts, and IMG Sports Academy. With solid structure, a prime location, and extensive updates already completed, this is a rare opportunity to transform a home with great bones into something truly exceptional. Room sizes are approximate and should be verified by the buyer.
