Walking distance to all of downtown Sarasota, this home has a walk score of 86, one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Sarasota! Parks, restaurants, tennis courts, shops, and more in every direction! This beautiful home on a quiet, brick-lined street has all of the amenities, beauty and comfort that you are looking for in a vacation home! From the private, luxurious pool, to the large living area and updated, well stocked kitchen, you will be in awe of this gorgeous vacation home! This home could not be a more perfect combination of being both secluded as well as central. The pool/patio area has lush, tropical landscaping that blocks out any neighboring homes making it feel private and serene, but you are downtown! The gorgeous, sparkling pool has recently been put in and the paver/patio area has all been redone! The pool has an option to be heated for just $15/day, if you'd like! There is now a FREE TROLLEY that services downtown Sarasota, onto St. Armands circle, and then onto Lido Key Beach! You truly don't even need to rent a car while you stay here! This home itself is spacious enough to easily host your entire group together eating a meal at the dinner table, lounging in the living room watching a movie, or hanging out at the pool - while also giving the ability for you to slip off for some alone time to read a book in the office, or the reading nook of the primary bedroom. You'll never want to leave, but you're also only a less than 20 minute walk away from SO MUCH! Please note - the office does offer additional sleeping arrangement as a 6th bedroom, as it has a day bed. This also makes for a perfect setup for a bachelorette - plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone to have their space to get ready and then walk downtown for all the best eateries!!
