West of Trail: For Sale by Owner, over 1/4 Acre

Four blocks from both Sarasota Memorial Hospital and the beautiful Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, this large building lot (just under 11,000 sq. ft) is on a quiet street between Osprey & Orange Avenues, near Harbor Acres. Located West of Trail, the long-established Hudson Bayou neighborhood is graced by mature trees and includes contemporary, mid-century, and Ringling-era homes with historic designations.

A privacy hedge screens the property from the street. A small home (concrete block; ca. 1950; two bedrooms + one bath) now sits on the lot and faces north. It is barely visible, thanks to vegetation around the private front-yard entertaining area. The rear yard has a sturdy, 6-foot wooden privacy fence on two sides and is partly shaded by palms and fruiting citrus trees.

The house has a small but efficient kitchen, new in 2002. Bathroom has original Fifties grey and maroon tile in excellent condition. Main rooms have new white Italian tile floors. A lanai and car-port expand the building footprint to @ 1500 sq feet. Property is currently owner-occupied and homesteaded.

Neighborhood is stable with longtime, year ’round residents and a few long-term renters. Residents are working & retired; single, married, gay, & straight; with & without kids. Excellent, walkable area is pet- friendly; house-cats, Labs, Yorkies, Corgis, and exotic parrots are happy here. Lots of wild birds (because of the tree-cover). Piliated woodpeckers, cardinals, doves, ospreys, falcons, cedar waxwings, and indigo buntings are regular visitors.

Owner realizes that although this solid house is charming and completely livable, the property’s value is in the land.
