Under contract-accepting backup offers. Located within the Sarasota city limits and allowing short-term rentals, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home presents a great opportunity for buyers looking to add value or investors seeking flexibility in a high-demand area. Owned by the same family since it was built, this solid block home offers a functional layout with original terrazzo floors that run through much of the interior, ready to be restored or incorporated into a custom renovation. The living spaces are filled with natural light, and the kitchen provides a workable footprint that can be updated to suit modern tastes. All three bedrooms offer comfortable proportions, allowing flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. A large utility room adds valuable storage and workspace, enhancing everyday functionality. The bathroom features classic tile and a tub and shower combination. Outside, the fully fenced yard offers privacy and room to enjoy outdoor living, with mature trees providing shade. A gated concrete driveway allows for secure parking, and a detached storage shed adds even more utility for tools, equipment, or projects. Additional highlights include no HOA, no flood zone and a roof approximately five years old. Set in a quiet residential area with long-term neighbors, the location offers convenient access to downtown Sarasota, beaches, dining, and shopping. This property is well suited for buyers ready to bring their vision to life, whether as a primary residence, renovation project, or income-producing short-term rental. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
