Fall head-over-heels for this West of Trail historic home expertly transformed into a modern family oasis. This new “old” house retains its original character, while introducing up-to-date functionality and contemporary farmhouse style. And, if location matters, the proximity to Downtown Sarasota and Southside Village can’t be beat.

The house sits comfortably on an oversize, .47-acre, corner lot featuring a privacy wall and side-load garage with circular drive. While the front porch is  a vestige of the past, the inside is totally today. 2018-19 updates include new roof, long-plank smoked-oak wood floor in living areas and bedrooms, marble and porcelain tile floor in baths and laundry, new doors and hardware, new trim and baseboards, LED lighting, custom solid-wood cabinetry with quartz countertops, new interior paint, remodeled kitchen, and remodeled baths. 2016 updates include new air conditioning, impact windows, pool surface and pool screen.

The 3,136 square-foot residence has five bedrooms, three baths, two half baths, formal living room, formal dining room and open kitchen/family room/office. The stunning kitchen has solid-wood cabinetry, oversize farmhouse sink, eat-in counter and high-end appliances. The family room features a gas fireplace and flows easily to the covered lanai. The master suite is on the ground floor and features walk-in closet and ensuite bath. The rest of the bedrooms and baths are on the second floor along with a secondary laundry closet.

Outdoor living is easy inside the screened-in pool area and covered lanai. The large yard features privacy landscape, mature oak trees and irrigation on well. Located in one of Sarasota’s most coveted neighborhoods just minutes to Southside Village, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Downtown Sarasota and beaches.
