West of Trail, and less than 1.5 miles to Siesta Key Beach access #12, this large corner lot is ready for its new owner; it is currently occupied by a sweet pool home ready for renovation or expansion. And is thought to be a house by Sarasota design pioneer Ruth Richmond –the first woman in Florida to earn a Class-A contractor’s license. She is known for the use of sliding glass doors, coining the term “lanai”, and focusing on simplicity, practicality, and affordability. You can feel this character and charm as you walk through the front door and take in the lanai view leading to the sparkling pool. The primary bedroom and bathroom are at the back and enjoy views and access to the lanai and pool, the guest bedroom is at the front and uses the hall bathroom, and third bedroom is on the other side of the house, which could be accessed through the exterior entrance which comes through laundry and mud room. At the center is the heart of the home, kitchen, dining, and great room which all also open to the shaded lanai and crystal blue screened in pool. Nearly 15,000 square feet of land, this corner lot lends itself to many opportunities – expand existing home, or perhaps redevelop into a large family home or two smaller homes (to be verified through Sarasota County). The neighborhood is loved by so many who wish to live on the mainland, yet have ease of access to World Famous Siesta Key and all that Sarasota has to offer.
