A grand oak welcomes you to this charming 2BR 2BA midcentury modern home. The perfect blend of old and new, this home has been thoughtfully updated with an open layout, plus the personality of real hardwood floors, high ceilings, and ample wall space with lighting to highlight your artwork. A modern kitchen features an induction range with a convection oven, and views through the home to the mature low-maintenance gardens in the fenced back yard. A large patio covered by a pergola provides a delightful spot for alfresco meals. The electrical and plumbing have been fully updated and hurricane windows have been installed in all but one room. The primary bedroom features an ensuite bath and a large dressing area or office, but would be simple to convert back to a three bedroom should the need arise. Convenient to everything, the home is ten minutes from downtown Sarasota, and the bridge to Lido and St. Armands, tucked into the quiet end of a dead end street. Just beyond the Sapphire Shores/Indian Beach neighborhood, near Ringling College and New College, walking distance to the iconic Bahi Hut, and not in a flood zone. Perfect for an artist or collector. A refreshing break from cookie cutter.
