This charming, vintage Florida home and beautiful lot (15,000 sq. ft.) presents endless opportunities. Very few of these original 1950's Florida cottages remain! The integrity of the original design is still intact, including original floorplan and vintage baths. Outside, the gated courtyard extends from the front to the rear, opening onto an enchanting yard and pool, with mature landscaping and privacy. A large, screened lanai overlooking the pool and serene backyard offers the ideal private spot for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful setting. Perfect for the minimalist that treasures historic Florida and yet roomy enough for guests and entertaining. A.C. 2024. This home would be a true pleasure to restore! Need something larger? Plenty of room to add on, or design and build your perfect dream home! Harbor Acres is ideally located within a short stroll to the always lively Southside Village, including Morton's Market, a variety of wonderful restaurants and shopping. Minutes to downtown Sarasota, the bayfront, Sarasota Memorial, Selby Gardens and all of the Arts Sarasota is known for. St. Armands Circle, Lido and Siesta Key beaches are all within a 10 minute drive as well. Don't miss this great opportunity! Please note: Some water intrusion during Tropical Storm.
